MY MISSION
I use photography to empower, inspire and create dialog in our society.
By doing so, I try to affect and change our way of perceiving and how we perceive the world. I do this through the creation of authentic and personal portraits, stories and exhibitions for leading-edge clients; such as Minister for Children and Social Affairs Mai Mercado, The Danish Government, The National Audit Office, Council for Socially Deprived, Danish Red Cross, and many more.
I also train and educate people in using and working with photography focusing on developing the use of the visual language through a personal perspective. I have worked with hundreds of participants through workshops, mentoring and lectures (link til nyt vindue til undervisning), where I enhance the ability to express your personal voice in your photograph and create a visual impression through your work.

It is a necessity for me to work with photography. To me, being a photographer means to participate as a human being in our society. Therefore, I use photography to explore life, to investigate reality and to create insights, contact and tell stories about it – whether you are a director or homeless person.

‘…a true master of vivid portraits’
‘I chose Helga because she is a true master of vivid portraits. She turns a photo session into an enjoyable and relaxing experience where you never feel awkward. In addition, she has a remarkable ability to capture the very essence of your personality – and bring about ‘the real you’. The presence, the seriousness and the twinkle in one’s eye. I believe my portraits are visible proof of this, and I am extremely satisfied.’
Rikke Moos, Copywriter and Marketing Mentor
‘…the best investment’
‘I just want to say that the portrait you shot is the best investment I have made in this election (municipal election, 2017). So many people have reported back to me, telling me that it is a great picture.’
Torsten Hjort Hansen, Socialdemokratiet, Lejre Kommune
‘…in a very sober and solidary manner’
“Helga is strong. She takes pictures of shabby, living people on the edge. In a very sober and solidary manner, she leads us into a world that most people are afraid to approach- or even see”.
