Monica Grue Steffensen

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen-based photographer and writer Monica Steffensen tells stories in light and language. With a background that spans over a decade in editorial work, her name has appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Cereal, Kinfolk, and The Guardian—always accompanied by an eye for atmosphere and a feel for the quietly evocative. Her work moves fluidly across disciplines—architecture, lifestyle, travel, and design—yet remains anchored in a singular sensibility: calm, attentive, and deeply observant. Whether capturing the hush of an early morning interior or the patina of a lived-in object, Monica’s images carry a certain stillness that invites a second look. She collaborates with design-forward brands, architects, and hospitality spaces to shape both visual and written narratives. The result is never showy, but always sharp—stories that linger, told with clarity and care.
