The Copenhagen-based photographer Albert Elm captures the vibrant world around him wherever he goes and reveals his stream of consciousness. “Photography is a medium that’s hard to personalize. You see, so much work out there that the same photographer could have easily shot. So it’s great when you can tell right away ‘Oh that’s so-and-so’s work’.” says Albert Elm. And you will agree that the works of Albert Elm strongly bear the artist’s signature, so you can identify who’s work it is when you look at it.

Albert Elm says that he has been interested in photography since his childhood, states that photography became a part of him after a very early phase in his life. He studied at the Fatamorgana School of Photographic Art in Copenhagen, soon became an assistant to Magnum photographer Jacob Aue Sobol, then graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2015.

He explains what the photograph means to him: “I think a simple idea like ‘how does this look photographed’ keeps me going and every film I process and scan is full of expectations and surprises. It’s like being an obsessed gold digger. You never know what’s coming — It might be worth a lot. I guess it gives my life purpose.”

Albert elm reveals the delight of the eye with his photographs that reflect his view of the world. So here’s a mixed selection of Albert Elm’s work.
