Jakob Mark

Aarhus - photographers

Danish-born photographer Jakob Mark began his career 11 years ago, aged 22.

"Every day is a challenge and that’s why I love it. It keeps me alive. I always try to reach a higher level of photography. I like making my work as varied as the jobs are challenging. One day my setup is a colourful fashion shoot with crazy hair-dos, while the next I’m in the middle of a national advertising campaign for highly educated business people. The work is changeable - the way it should be. I love shooting both men and women, it gives me a much larger playground. My style is classic while remaining edgy. Timing for the right moment ensures a timeless presence."
