Studio Brinth
Jacob Brinth and Alice Delsenne, hailing from Denmark and France, respectively, crossed paths in Copenhagen in 2015, and are now married together and living in France. Both with educational backgrounds in product design, they now seek to articulate their reflections on space and products through photography.
In 2018, they established NUE Studio, specializing in furniture and interior design. Initially focusing on photographing their own design projects, they soon expanded to collaborate with architects, designers, design brands, galleries, and more. In 2021, they settled in France, opening a studio with clients spanning across European cities such as Paris, Milan, Brussels, London, and beyond.
With a keen insight into minimalism, they consistently pursue the perfection of details and composition presented through photography. During their time in Denmark, Jacob Brinth and Alice Delsenne explored the art of shaping and combining objects in space. Their works resemble classic paintings with chiaroscuro effects, exuding a mysterious allure that captivates the audience.

Photography is a static art, how do you capture a rich dynamic landscape through the lens?
In interior photography, it’s true, the setting is static and it can be tricky to add life to the images without any human presence or dynamic movement happening.
In our photography we have a very moody and dramatic style which adds to the visual dynamics of the setting. We like to create our images as if they were classical chiaroscuro paintings, and we often add a bit of mystery that intrigues the viewer and draws you in.
The process often starts by finding the best angles in the space, often with an interesting architectural element or a dramatic directional lighting. And then, much like a painter composes their scenes on canvas, we compose and style our images. We are minimalists when it comes to composition: Every element in the frame has a strong purpose, adding to the visual narrative.
Does a designer’s background offer advantages in your work as a spatial or product photographer, such as a professional expertise, logical thinking, or approach?
As former designers, our journey into photography began with taking pictures of our furniture and interior projects for our own design studio. This started a passion for creating images, leading us to collaborate with brands and designers in Denmark then in Paris, and now all over Europe.
Our design background allows us to communicate effectively with our collaborators & clients, establishing a deeper connection and helping us to truly understand the artistic context as well as the technical aspects of each project.
We love having passionate discussions with our clients about their philosophy and design approach, and this enriches our photographic interpretation and the aesthetic choices that we make for the images we create. We try to capture the designs as if they were our own.
