Photographer and graphic designer based in Denmark

When I was 14, I bought a canon eos 1100D, my first camera. I started going outside very often to take photos, alone, with my good friend or with my sister. My interest didn’t last long, and when my parents asked me why I didn’t take as many pictures as I used to, I told them that I already had taken pictures of everything there is. Until today, they mention this when we talk about me and my photography. 

As my interest faded away, I didn’t really care about bringing my camera when I went to Canada with my sister, about three or four years later. As soon as we got there and started to explore places, I truly regret that I hadn’t brought my camera. I even considered buying a new one in Canada just to be able to capture everything with a real camera rather than my phone. But despite I had to use my phone now, I really enjoyed taking photos.

"Ever since that trip, I felt the need and desire to travel more and to document it."

Now I knew there was more in life than staying home, I started visiting other countries close to Denmark, my home country. Norway and Sweden have wonderful nature and are very different from Denmark in many aspects, even though they’re neighbouring countries. This might sound totally cliche, but the world is freaking amazing. There are so many nice people to meet and amazing places to visit. You should not hesitate going somewhere if you really want to. It’s worth every penny. Life is literally too short to stay home! Before you know you can’t go anywhere anymore. Through photography I really found out who I was and what I genuinely enjoyed, that I was more of an outdoor type of guy that favors a great view over almost anything else.

Denmark is such a lovely little country, but in terms of photography there really isn’t anything particular to come visit for except old beautiful buildings and history. There’s almost no variation in the landscape and the cities are like any other. I am aware that this might be because I am so used to Denmark, and this made me push my creativity a lot more as I had to look for things. I think it has influenced my photography in the sense that I am doing architecture photography as well… Nature might not be a big thing here, but there are beautiful buildings. But although I really enjoy photographing people and portraits too, capturing moments and expressions, there’s no doubt I prefer taking nature and landscape shots since I don’t really see these things every day.

"I often walk around in cities with my camera, but when going out in nature, it’s just a relief."

"For me it’s like a real treat when roaming and photographing in nature."
Meet Anton Glud

I love shooting in rainy and foggy conditions, or on an early morning right before sunrises. When it’s in the mountains, even better, and if there is snow as well, I am the happiest! The mountains allow me to catch the depth and the feeling of immensity; that’s also why I like to have people in my photos, to show the scales and illustrate the size of an object. The snow gives a magical touch to the landscape and the feeling, I just love it. Photography brings me satisfaction; when I’m out shooting and I take a photo I would consider a great shot, it almost feels like receiving a present. I have always been a creative guy, and I really enjoy the visual aspect of being creative.

"And since I studied Graphic Design, I can combine my photography into many different ideas. First with compositions, and then with the editing."
"I believe that you can really present yourself with your photos; editing especially is something very personal."

I want people to get to know me and my personality through my photos. Most of my pictures have a darkish vibe and that represents the type of person I am. Not in a negative way, but referring to the music and podcasts I listen to and the movies I watch. These are key inspirations for how I edit most of my photos. The darker atmosphere is where I feel most comfortable with and what I enjoy incorporating the most. It’s important for me to maintain a consistent style, I believe it is professional when all my social media platforms show the style that typifies me. I want that my photos are like an award winning movie that’s so good that it makes you feel like watching that movie was really worth it, so you really want to watch more movies of that kind.

"I want people to see my photos and think “wow, that’s so surreal,I just can’t wait to see more”, almost like a crazy cliffhanger..."
