Egon Gade Photography
Copenhagen
Egon Gade works out of Copenhagen for Danish and Scandinavian design companies. International design icons such as Bang & Olufsen, Fritz Hansen, Georg Jensen, Royal Copenhagen, Danfoss and Montana are among some of his clients.
Simplicity best describes Egon's pictures. For eight years he has been studying new concepts for portrait photography and came up with an idea to shoot portraits for the theatre.
Egon was commissioned by The Royal Danish Theatre to take 61 portraits of the entire cast and drama department in the theatre’s 2011-12 repertoire. It took a year to complete and the portraits were exhibited in the waterfront foyer at the The Royal Danish Playhouse.
