The story

Copenhagen Photo Festival in Copenhagen

Copenhagen Photo Festival spreads roughly 55 exhibitions across more than 30 venues, from the Royal Danish Theatre to neighbourhood cafes and private apartments, reaching beyond Copenhagen into Malmo, Humlebaek and Elsinore across the Oresund strait. Each edition organises around a curated theme mixing established and emerging photographers, paired with workshops and portfolio-review sessions.

More than 30 venues across greater Copenhagen and into southern Sweden, from the Royal Danish Theatre in the city centre to galleries, museums, cafes and even private apartments, carry the roughly 55 exhibitions that make up Copenhagen Photo Festival each edition.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's scatter across more than 30 venues in two countries is genuinely unusual for a photography event of this scale: exhibitions turn up in private apartments and neighbourhood cafes alongside the Royal Danish Theatre and established galleries, and programming extends across the Oresund strait into Malmo, Humlebaek and Elsinore rather than staying contained within Copenhagen

02

The mystery stays covered

An open call structure ahead of each edition keeps the roster mixed between established international photographers and emerging names rather than relying solely on existing gallery relationships
