Danish-born Nikolaj Lund is a semi-professional photographer based in the city of Aarhus, Denmark with two degrees from the Royal Academy of Music in Denmark, and the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. The quality of Nikolaj’s voice has the musicality of a cellist; it is low and kind, without a trace of arrogance. His story is most related to a music career that was brilliant from the very beginning. He picked up music at the famous Rudolf Steiner School and photography at the age of 14 years old. ”Ever since I got my first camera I carried it around with me to concerts. I always enjoyed documenting whatever was happening around me – trying to capture musical moments”. Four years after he finished with his studies, he was devoted entirely to photography. Before he started portraying influential classical composers, such as Martin Frøst, clarinet, and Isabelle van Keulen, violinist, he had already started with his old colleagues. It never appealed to him to shoot inside a studio which he found to be rather limited and less inspiring. He still enjoys being outside, exposed to the surroundings and his own ideas that, are shaped on the spot. ”If you want me to do your portrait, we have to do something different. We have to have fun”. Here bellow we present you some shots, but for more information or to get in touch with Nikolaj, we invite you to follow his website at the link bellow.
