Over the years, Ole Christiansen has supplied images for countless books, magazines, record covers, annual reports, etc.
A particular preoccupation has been music photography, portraits, but also – often strongly graphically emphasized urban landscapes.
Ole Christiansen is known for his covers of Euroman and record covers of bands such as Sort Sol, TV2, Thomas Helmig and many others. His visual signature is unique and distinguished by a very graphic look.
In recent years, he has started to create moving images, including video installations for e.g. Eva Koch and music videos for Kenneth Thordal.
Ole Christiansen, born 1955 in Elsinore, live and work in Copenhagen.
