“We chose Laura Stamer as
photographer for the book about the
Bellahøj housing area, as we believe she
has an eminent eye for the uniqueness
of that project – that it contains
many individual details that all relate
to the overall whole. And perhaps
most importantly – because of her
ability to capture traces of the living
in her documentation in a subtle and
empathetic way. Bellahøj is a place
where people live, and this is sensed in
her photos.”
Birgitte Kleis,
Author, editor
“Vi har valgt Laura Stamer som fotograf
i bogen om Bellahøjbebyggelsen, fordi
vi mener, at hun har et eminent blik
for bebyggelsens særkende, nemlig
det, at den rummer mange individuelle
detaljer, som alle forholder sig til den
overordnede helhed. Og måske vigtigst
– fordi hun evner at fange spor af
det levede liv i sine optagelser, på en
subtil og indlevet måde. Bellahøj er et
sted, hvor der bor mennesker, og det
fornemmes i hendes fotos.”

“Laura Stamer har i sine fotografier formået at
fange lyset i arkitekturen på en poetisk og samtidig
meget ærlig måde. Adskillige gange har hendes
fotografier været brugt på forsiden af magasinet
LYS, og hendes æstetiske sans for lys er stadig et
forbillede for os, når vi vælger vores forsider.”
Dorte Gram,
Redaktør, Dansk Center for Lys
“In her photographs, Laura Stamer manages to
catch the light in the architecture in a poetic yet
very honest way. Her photographs have been
featured on the cover of LYS magazine several
times, and her aesthetic sense for light remains a
benchmark for us, when we select our covers.”

Editor, the Danish Lighting Center

”I samarbejdet med STAMERS
KONTOR har vi oplevet, hvordan
Lauras fotografier besidder en enorm
følsomhed og indlevelsesevne,
der hjælper os med at genkende
hverdagslivet i vores bygninger. Det
er som om, at fotografierne ikke kun
fremkalder lyset og skyggerne, men
også en særlig nærhed, og alt det der
er vigtigt - i livet og i vores arkitektur. ”
Karsten Gori,
Arkitekt, indehaver af Leth & Gori
“In our collaboration with STAMERS
KONTOR, we have witnessed how
Laura’s photographs hold an immense
amount of sensitivity and empathy
that help us recognise and connect
with everyday life in our buildings.
It is as if the photographs not only
project the light and shadows but also
a particular intimacy, and everything
that is important - in life and in our
architecture. ”

Portraits
Arkitektforeningen
“Vi bruger Laura, først og fremmest fordi hun er
dygtig. Og fordi hun er omhyggelig og behagelig at
arbejde sammen med.
De portrætbilleder, som Laura laver for
os, indgår i en større fortælling om hvem,
Arkitektforeningen er. De skal tale til vores
medlemmer og interessenter. Og her kan man
tydeligt mærke, at Laura har en baggrund i
arkitektverdenen i forhold til hendes valg af
omgivelser, baggrund og rum.”
Annette Blegvad,
Vicedirektør Arkitektforeningen
“First and foremost we use Laura because she
is skilful. And because she is meticulous and
pleasant to work with.
The portraits, Laura is taking for us, are part of
a greater narrative about the Danish Architects’
Association. They need to speak to our members
and stakeholders. And you can clearly tell that
Laura has a background in the architectural
world – in relation to her choice of surroundings,
background and space.”
Annette Blegvad,
Deputy Director Danish Architects’ association

About
STAMERS KONTOR
STAMERS KONTOR is a photography studio established by Laura
Stamer specializing in genuine representations of spaces and
people.
By capturing the relationship between space and social
interaction STAMERS KONTOR interprets architecture both as
form and human experience. Whether the assignment is to
document a process or to communicate a sensory experience,
each project benefits from a fundamental architectural
approach to the subject.
Since 2005, STAMERS KONTOR has had the pleasure of
completing photographic assignments for an extensive list
of clients across sectors and industries. These successful
assignments have all been based on a close working relationship
between client and studio by turning every project into a mutual
collaboration.
Background
Laura Stamer is a trained architect and photographer. She
received her formal education from The Royal Danish Academy
of Fine Arts, School of Architecture during which period she also
attended the University of Gothenburg School of Photography.
Laura worked as an apprentice photographer for Suste Bonnén.
Laura Stamer is also a Board Member of the Danish Artists’
Autumn Exhibition.
Laura’s interdisciplinary background allows her to employ a
sensory approach to architectural photography. This ability
to capture emotions, experiences and motion within a space
places her work beyond that of objective documentation.
Specialities

require architectural method and a profound understanding of
