Editorial Influencer Photoshoot at Nimb Hotel & Gråbrødretorv | Copenhagen Photographer

For those who adore timeless elegance, bold fashion, and Copenhagen’s most photogenic spots, this influencer photoshoot at the iconic Nimb Hotel and colorful Gråbrødretorv is a must-see. As a Copenhagen-based photographer, I specialize in capturing editorial-style portraits, utilizing natural light, movement, and the personalities of my clients. This particular session, with the stunning influencer Sofiyat Ibrahim, was a memorable one, filled with beautiful moments and timeless imagery.

When I first met Sofi at her room in the Nimb Hotel, she looked flawless, chic, and polished. She said maybe one outfit should be okay, but we had planned two looks for the session beforehand. I always have a strong sense of how shoots will go when i meet my clients, and I could tell that the second outfit would elevate the photos even more. Sofi initially hesitated, but I gently encouraged her to try on both outfits. She had already chosen the striking red dress for the second look, but for the Nimb Hotel shoot, she wasn’t sure about her first outfit. Together we decided immediately the perfect one, and it ended up being even more stunning than we imagined.

Sofi was in Copenhagen for a work trip with Delta Airlines and Nimb Hotel in Copenhagen. It was such a privilege that Bigwig Photography could be a part of her journey. She shared that she had already completed several photoshoots earlier that morning, which made me realize just how fast and efficient she is. Within a short amount of time, we captured an incredible number of shots. Her makeup was on point, and all she needed was the right dress to complete the look.

We kicked off the shoot at the luxurious Nimb Hotel, where the soft, warm interiors, classical arches, and overall elegance perfectly matched Sofi's first outfit, a sophisticated black dress. The lighting inside the hotel was beautifully soft, creating an almost ethereal effect as Sofi moved through the space. Her beauty was magnetic, and everything about her presence seemed to harmonize with the architecture of Nimb Hotel. It wasn’t just about the dress; it was the way she carried herself. Bold yet graceful, modern yet timeless, Sofi seemed to embody the very essence of the hotel’s charm. The first outfit alone had me obsessed, watching her step into that dress felt like witnessing fashion magic.

Then came the red dress - the game changer. As we made our way to Gråbrødretorv, a charming square with colorful buildings and cobblestone streets, the mood shifted completely. Sofi’s energy soared in that red dress, and it was like watching her step straight out of a high-fashion editorial. The vibrant red created a stunning contrast with the pastel-colored buildings surrounding us. The light filtered through the tall buildings, casting beautiful shadows that highlighted Sofi’s silhouette and added depth to the images. The combination of her beauty, the dress, and the iconic Copenhagen backdrop made for a photoshoot that felt like something straight out of a fashion magazine.

What stood out to me during the shoot was not just Sofi’s incredible style and presence but her speed and professionalism. We worked quickly, and yet the results were exceptional. She knew exactly how to work the camera, making my job easier while also bringing her own creative energy into the shoot. Our connection during the session was seamless; we matched perfectly in terms of creative vision, making it one of those photoshoots where everything just falls into place.

As a photographer, I’ve learned that a successful shoot requires more than just technical skill. It’s about building a connection with the subject, understanding their vision, and allowing their personality to shine through. With Sofi, it was clear she had mastered this balance. She had a clear idea of what she wanted to achieve, but was open to exploring new ideas. She was just magic to work with.

The final images captured that balance - elegant, confident, and full of life. The transformation between the black outfit and the red dress was striking. Both outfits reflected different facets of Sofi’s personality, yet they both showcased her incredible sense of style. The versatility in the shoot was one of the reasons I loved this session so much, it was a perfect blend of modern fashion with classic touches, set against the timeless beauty of Copenhagen.
