Kirstine Mengel Architectural photographer

I am Kirstine Mengel. An award-winning Danish architectural photographer specializing in creating space and capturing the lines in architecture, art and design. My photographic style is influenced by visual calmness and purity, light and minimalism. I tell a visual story through the space I create in my photos; striving to generate visual calmness and sense of space. My eye for minimalism makes me perpetually strive for calmness in each image.

For as long as I remember, I have loved stairs. I am simply captivated by them. As a photographer, I also reflect upon how the stairs contribute to constructing an engaging composition in the photo. The stair creates a sense of movement in the photo – as a road on which the eye can wander.

Initially, I merely photographed stairs because they charmed me. Because what do they lead to? Where will they take me? Over the years, my photos of stairs have accumulated greatly. I have come to realize that I am gripped by the graphic aspect of stairways: the shapes and the choice of materials.
