Danish artist René ROALF Jensen works as a portrait photographer. He creates artistic images of businessmen, doctors, artists, models, and anyone looking for a unique and professional perspective of themselves. A recent sitting was the Miss Denmark who refused to participate in the Miss World contest. He also shoots for various magazines.
Main influences are painters like René Magritte, Wainer Vaccari, Bortocelli, and Francis Bacon. But it's hard, he maintains, to point out any specific influence, as he feels most strongly motivated by beauty and anything that surrounds him, such as his wife and family.
René uses large format cameras, a Canon D1, Adobe Photoshop, and a Hasseblad medium format camera. Of note is his original methods of finishing his prints. He's been known to "paint" them with mustard, ketchup, and oil colors, and then baking them in the oven. He has also studied radiology and incorporates x-rays into some of his work. Ultimately, René considers himself an artist first and a photographer second.
