ANDERS OVERGAARD
THE STORYTELLER
With a hungry approach to life and photography,
Anders has managed to create an interesting
and eventful career in the fashion
industry. His interest in photography started at
the young age of 10 when Anders began taking
pictures of his surroundings. Growing up in a
town by the northern coast of Denmark, he
photographed everything from nature to his
surfing buddies. His love for the outdoor and
the ocean shows in the energy of his current
work.
After completing his education in Copenhagen
Anders moved to Paris to assist other photographers
and learn about the fashion industry.
In 1990 Anders moved to New York to work
with the brilliant Bruce Weber. He spent 5 thrilling
years traveling with and assisting Bruce,
we can only imagine what went down during
their time together, placing Anders in the center
of la crème de la crème of both fashion and
movies.
Anders images possess a vitality that threatens
to jump off the page. He’s open and humble
which has granted him access to get close and
personal with the many celebrities he has portrayed.
Anders tells a story, not with words but
with captured moments.
Anders Overgaard’s first book Nothing Left Behind (2017) is a 189 page coffee table book of the photographers
favorite images of the famous annual Burning Man festival set in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.
