about
I’m Lea - founder and creative director of Studio Curæte and Copenhagen Curæted, a multidisciplinary practice exploring how visual storytelling shapes culture, brand, and emotion.
With a background in strategy consulting and a trained eye for image-making, I work where observation becomes direction - helping brands translate their essence into images and experiences that feel lived, textured, and true.
The Lens
I photograph spaces, people, and rituals with a documentarian’s patience and a designer’s eye - asking, what does this brand feel like from the inside?
My work centres on the sensory architecture of experience - light, material, gesture - turning atmosphere into something you can remember.
The Practice
Studio Curæte blends brand strategy, creative direction, and photography to craft coherent visual worlds for design, hospitality, and lifestyle brands.
Whether shaping an identity, directing a retreat, or composing a campaign, the rhythm remains the same: observe, curate, compose.
Copenhagen Curæted
The editorial arm - documenting Nordic life, design, food, and wellness through atmospheric photography and narrative features. A deeper look at the stories shaping contemporary Nordic living.
Studio Curæte
The creative studio - working with brands, hotels, and makers to translate concept into visual identity, content, and sensory experience.
Our work moves fluidly between photography, direction, and brand architecture.
I collaborate with brands, hotels, and creative spaces that see image-making as part of their identity - not decoration.
