What is included in the portrait package?
The portrait package costs DKK 1,499 and includes 5 pre-edited high-resolution images. You will receive the images via an online gallery where you can browse through all the images from the session at your leisure and choose your five favorites. If you need more images, they can be purchased later.
The package is great for those who need variety, e.g. for website, press and social media all at once, or for artists and actors who want images that show multiple sides of themselves.
For both consumers and businesses
A portrait at Weigang Fotografi can be used for many purposes.
- Business portraits: Professional and credible images for websites, presentations, press or LinkedIn.

- Artistic portraits: For artists, musicians and other creatives who want images with personality and edge.
How your session works
You don’t need to be used to being in front of a camera. When you arrive, we’ll start with a short informal chat about your wishes and the purpose of the images. The more you tell me, the better I can adapt the style and mood.
We typically start in the studio, where there is calm and full control of the light. Weather permitting, we can also shoot outdoors for more variety. It’s also possible to arrange a completely different location in advance.
Along the way, I use an iPad or computer so you can continuously view the images and adjust if there’s anything you want different. I guide you with posing and expression all the way, so you feel relaxed and comfortable.
After the session, you will receive a link to an online gallery where you can choose your favorite images at your leisure, possibly with a friend or partner.
Portrait photographer in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg
The studio is located at Vesterbrogade 171, 1800 Frederiksberg, centrally located with easy access from all of Copenhagen.
The metro is an 8-minute walk from Frederiksberg Allé or 12 minutes from Enghave Plads.
Bus 7A stops at De Små Haver, a 4-minute walk away. There is public parking in the side streets and underground parking at Thorvald Bindesbølls Plads, Constantin Hansens Gade 35.
If you want to shoot at a different location, I generally stick to Vesterbro and inner Copenhagen. The location must be agreed in advance, and if it is in a private building, you must obtain permission for us to photograph there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about portrait photography
Where does a portrait shoot take place?
When booking, I recommend that you choose a time when you have plenty of time and don’t feel pressured. This provides the best conditions for a safe and comfortable session – and the best images.
We start with a short chat
When you arrive, we’ll have an informal chat about your wishes and the purpose of the portraits. The more you tell me, the better I can customize both style and mood – and of course guide you through the entire process.
We start in the studio – and may continue outdoors
We usually start in my studio, where there is peace and quiet and full control over the light. This provides a safe setting and clean, stylish images. If the weather permits, we can also shoot outdoors to give you more variety.
Do you want a different location?
It’s also possible to shoot at a location other than the studio – just arrange this in advance.
You’ll be guided every step of the way
Don’t worry about how to stand or look. I’ll help you with posing and expression so you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
We look at the photos together along the way
I typically bring an iPad or phone so you can follow along and get a feel for how the images look. That way we can adjust if there’s anything you want to change.
Select the images at home in peace and quiet
When the session is over, we settle up immediately. Shortly after, you’ll receive a link to an online gallery where you can choose your favorite images at your leisure – possibly with a friend or partner. Trust your gut feeling.
Editing and delivery
Once you’ve made your selection, I’ll edit the images. As a rule, you’ll have them ready the next business day. If you have a deadline, it’s important that you let me know well in advance.
What should I wear for portrait photography?
It’s a good idea to bring different options so that we can change along the way and adapt the clothes to the look you want. The choice of clothing plays a big part in how your images are perceived – which is why it’s an important part of the preparation.
Think contrasts and variation
A classic setup could be a blazer and shirt. Alternatively, bring a crew neck t-shirt as an alternative. This allows for both a formal and a more relaxed look – perfect if you want to use the images in different contexts, such as LinkedIn and social media.
Calm, muted colors work best
Stick to neutral colors without big logos or wild patterns. A dark jacket and a simple, light shirt or t-shirt almost always works well and keeps the focus on you – not the clothes.
Clothes should match your message
Think about what you want to convey with your images: Should it be professional and authoritative? Friendly and welcoming? Or creative and personal? Your choice of clothing should support the impression you want to make.
Avoid this
Oversized clothing – especially blazers – can make the body appear larger and less balanced in photos. In my experience, oversized blazers for women often end up requiring little tricks like tucking the jacket into the back to create shape. When in doubt, bring both a regular and an oversized version and we can assess together what works best.
Patterns, stripes and bold textures can be distracting in photos. Bring an alternative so that we have something to switch to if it turns out that it doesn’t work optimally in the camera.
See inspiration in the gallery
If in doubt, take a look at my gallery – especially in the LinkedIn and CV portraits section . Here you can get a good impression of what others have chosen to wear and find inspiration that suits your own style.
When and how do I receive the portraits?
Once you’ve made your final selection and let me know, I’ll start editing. Usually, you’ll have the finished images ready within one business day.
Can you help with an image for an election poster?

Super nærværende og dygtig fotograf, jeg er meget tilfreds med de billeder jeg fik taget i erhvervsmæssig sammenhæng.
Helt igennem fantastisk oplevelse! Han var utrolig dygtig til at skabe en afslappet og god stemning, så jeg følte mig tryg foran kameraet. Han var meget god til, at dirigere mig i forhold til kreative forslag til billederne. Resultatet er blevet helt fremragende – billederne overgik alle mine forventninger! Kæmpe anbefaling herfra.
Virkelig en god og positiv oplevelse, René får det til at virke let og sjovt og finder mange forskellige udtryk og settings. Tak for en rigtig god oplevelse:-)
