Copenhagen Photo Festival

The official Copenhagen Photo Festival page. Copenhagen Photo Festival (CPF) is the largest photo festival in the Nordic region.

During our festival in June, exhibitions span the whole of Copenhagen and southern Sweden with more than 55 exhibitions including our exhibitions at Refshaleøen, and those organized by our satellite partners at diverse venues, ranging from galleries, museums, cultural institutions, to independent exhibition spaces, private apartments, cafés and libraries. Each year, ca. 250 Danish and foreign pho

tographers participate in our festival, whose works are visited by around 55.000. The festival presents a programme of high quality – artistically and conceptually – building bridges between fine art and documentary photography. Exhibitors are selected that bring special focus on our three main pillars; Framing Identity, Framing Society and Framing Vision. CPF’s mission is to actively engage and develop experimental and sustainable forms of exhibiting by presenting new perspectives and emerging talents. Throughout the festival days, we celebrate the diverse forms of photography and lens-based art through activities such as exhibitions, workshops, talks, and portfolio reviews. Our next edition will be running June 1-11 2023.

The bags are made of repurposed photography textiles by artists from the previous year’s festival. Each bag is therefore unique, crafted consciously and to fit multiple purposes in everyday life.

The bags will be available to purchase at our merchandise stands at The Royal Theatre and at Vækst in Refshalevej from 11-17 june – or if you want to reserve one you can do it online when booking a ticket for events or exhibitions: https://copenhagenphotofestival.com/

Stjernefotograf Søren Solkær indtager Kvægtorvet i Kødbyen med en omfattende udstilling af værker fra hans mange år som backstagefotograf på Roskilde Festival.

Udstillingen åbner 20. juni.

Med unik backstage adgang på Roskilde Festivalen har han fotograferet mere end 100 danske og internationale kunstnere før, under og efter deres koncerter. Fra unge, spirende kunstnere på tærsklen til deres første store optræden til internationalt etablerede navne som Jack White, Mø, Dua Lipa og The Cure. Fælles for dem alle er tilliden til fotografen og villigheden til at lade kameraet være til stede i de mest sårbare og intime øjeblikke.

With unique backstage access at Roskilde Festival, he has photographed more than 100 Danish and international artists before, during and after their concerts. From young, budding artists on the eve of their first big performance to internationally established names such as Jack White, Mø, Dua Lipa and The Cure.
