Niels Busch
Copenhagen - photographers
Danish award-winning photographer Niels Busch, born in Copenhagen, began his journey in photography during art class in primary school. His early career involved assisting top still life and fashion photographers in Copenhagen, which allowed him to travel the world. After a stint freelancing in New York, Niels returned to Copenhagen to open his own studio.
His passion for photography and travel led him to Southeast Asia, where he embraced a minimalist lifestyle influenced by Scandinavian design. After several years in Thailand, Niels and his family relocated back to New York. Today, he works with national and international clients, capturing images across Africa, South America, the US, Europe, and Asia.
Known for his Scandinavian eye for aesthetics, simple living, and northern light, Niels’ work—whether lifestyle, portrait, or commercial—exudes a timeless appeal that resonates globally.
