Esben Fog at an exhibition at Pakhuset Gallery, Nykoebing Sealand, DK 2019

Photographer Esben Fog from Denmark

Photographer Esben Fog

 Esben Fog has held photographic exhibitions since the late 1990’s.

Esben has a narrative approach to his work, working mainly with staged photography. This entails arranged scenes, with carefully choreographed, planned images. Rather than recording and interpreting the physical world, he creates alternative realities in small figurative worlds, where the observer is invited in to explore and participate in these new realities that in turn slowly disclose yet more narratives.

Esben has worked mainly with film/analogue techniques and is now increasingly working with digital format.   

Esben’s portfolio is primarily of the nude human body. Clothing gives a figure a defined identity, situated in a defined time. Unclothed the figure transcends time and place and becomes universal.

Esben is a member of the “Danish historical photographical Society” and finds inspiration from the works of old photographers such as Henry Peach Robinson and Oscar Gustav Rejlander. Painters have also been a rich source of inspiration.
