Egon Gade, studied as a photographer at the Media school in Denmark. At the age of 22, he opened his first studio in 1981 working as a freelance photographer based in Copenhagen.
Egon began, as one of the few during the eighties and nineties, to specialize in style and advertising photography. The client list grew and today Egon draws on his extensive experience with assignments for Scandinavian and international brands like Carlsberg, Tuborg, Danfoss, Maersk, Bang & Olufsen, Montana, Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen.
When working on assignments, Egon frequently acts as art and creative director. Egon Gade’s images range from genres style and advertising to portraits and photographic art. His playful, visionary and open approach to photography gives to his constant pursuit for developing both genre and style. A crucial source of inspiration comes from the uncomplicated Nordic aesthetic – the light, the colours, the forms and the lines that, for example are reflected in design, architecture and in the Scandinavian landscape.
Egon has been awarded with many international prizes such as, The Clio Show and Cannes Lion, for his work. He is also listed in Lürzers Achives “200 Best Photographers Worldwide from 2004 to 2013.
