Jesper Westley is known for his deeply human narratives and portraits, personal corporate branding imagery, and dynamic industrial photography.

Jesper has a rare gift for building trust and gaining access, meeting people eye to eye in a mutually respectful situation—creating authentic, and often unfiltered narratives that capture the essence of his subjects.

Despite an already long career —having shot assignments across more than 60 countries—his curiosity about people and the world around him has only deepened. He truly believes our diversity as people is a unique gift to us all. Always looking for that something that sums up a place, a situation, a personal meeting, keeps his mind and work fresh and personal.

Calling the island of Bornholm home, with an office in Copenhagen, he serves a broad range of clients from agencies, big pharma and industry to NGOs and public institutions. He works closely with clients at every stage of the process, from the initial spark of an idea to the final touches of post-production.

When not travelling on assignments, Jesper engages with his local community as a coach, guide and mentor in open water swimming. The nature experienced together with others sustains his philosophy about life, while he keeps an open mind about the humanity in his images.
