Bjorn Tagemose - Biography
« He works his photographs as he would for a movie, which brings image to life »
Bjorn Tagemose was born in Sweden, and now lives in Antwerp (Belgium).
Getting most of his inspiration from films, he fits very well the European fashion culture, but never forgets his Scandinavian origins. He works his photographs as he would for a movie, which brings image to life, thanks to a precise choice of settings and atmospheres.
With him, models become actors. Being "a real European", he exhibits in prestigeous places all around the continent as the Kulturhuset (Stockolm), the Groeninghe museum (Bruges) or the Louvre (Paris).
It is no surprise that brands like Lee Jeans or Adidas asked him to direct their international advertising campaigns. He also shot and filmed sport-gods like David Beckham and Haile Gbreselassi.
