about Mikkel Vang
Setting out from Copenhagen as a young guy with a love for film, my path has taken me through Melbourne, into New York, and across the globe. My photography is anchored in storytelling and light—always setting up cinematic scenes in pursuit of beautiful lighting and those honest, unscripted moments that give an image its soul. Inspiration finds me in people, landscapes, dreams, and the ever-changing world around me. Early mornings, late nights and a lot of big lights. It’s how I work and it’s how I love to tell my story.
the vang way
My approach to photography and technical process originates from my days in film, meaning I create everything in-camera. Manual focus, no gimmicks, no need for heavy retouching—just a quick clean-up for skin tones and sensor dust and that’s it. It’s how I keep my style sharp and unmistakably mine. I'm still the one in control of my camera, not the other way around. These days, that might not be the norm and that’s fine. I’m not here to follow trends. I’m here to make images that feel real.
