The Danish photographer, Albert Grøndahl (born 1985) is a graduate from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerpen and the FAMU Bachelor's degree programme. His photographic language develops the traditional photographic document in the direction of the issues of relationship a photographer has with his or her object. The subject matter of his interest is the social context. He engages personally in inspecting distant cultural references and personal narratives. In the course of his work, he left all the current standardised reproduction techniques, preferring the silver and golden emulsion and historical photochemical processes. The physical nature of his unique, non-reproducible photographs thus launches a movement in between reference and texture It enhances the singularity of the original, the unique captured moment as well as the spontaneity of the fleeting photographic gesture.
