Niels Busch
Copenhagen
Danish photographer Niels Busch’s journey into photography started way back in his school art class, where his love for the lens first sparked. Born and raised in Copenhagen, he soon found himself assisting some of the top still life and fashion photographers in the city, jet-setting around the globe.
A freelancing stint in New York came next, but Copenhagen called him back, where he set up his own studio. Always hungry for new adventures, Niels eventually packed his bags and headed to Southeast Asia, adopting a minimalist, Scandi-inspired lifestyle in Thailand. After a few years in paradise, it was time for another move—this time back to the Big Apple, with his family in tow.
Now, Niels works with clients from all corners of the world, shooting in places like Africa, South America, Europe, and beyond. His signature style? A blend of Scandinavian simplicity, natural light, and timeless vibes that never go out of style!
