Nordhavn Architecture & Photography Tour

Discover Nordhavn through a different lens, literally.

This guided photography tour invites you to explore the Nordhavn’s bold and diverse architecture while experimenting with how you capture space, form, and light. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just curious, this tour offers a fresh way to engage with the city.

Nordhavn is one of Copenhagen’s most ambitious urban development projects – a former industrial port area transformed into a vibrant waterfront district. Once filled with silos, shipyards, and warehouses, the area now stands as a leading example of sustainable city planning and contemporary architecture.

Designed with the 5-minute city principle, Nordhavn integrates housing, workspaces, public transit, and green areas within short walking distances. Its layered identity makes it a uniquely rich environment to explore, reflect on, and photograph.

Along our route, we’ll explore architectural highlights such as Portland Towers, the Tip of Nordø, Konditaget Lüders, TheKrane, and many more hidden gems. As we move through the neighborhood, you’ll not only photograph the buildings, you’ll also learn about the area’s industrial past, its ongoing transformation, and the ideas behind some of its most iconic contemporary structures.

Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just curious, this guided photography tour is for anyone interested in seeing the city through a new lens. You don’t need to be an expert. This is a space to explore, experiment, and learn together. This tour is about how you see and frame what’s around you, not what gear you bring. You are more than welcome to join the tour with just your phone. If you want to bring a camera but feel like you’re not yet confident with its settings, don’t worry. This is a space to ask questions, pick up tips, and get hands-on experience.

This tour isn’t just about buildings. It’s about slowing down, looking closely, learning something new, and connecting through photography.

Your Tour Guides

Hi, I’m Zeynep Yılmaztürk. I am an architect myself, working in communications with a passion for visual storytelling.

My interest in photography started years ago and gradually evolved into a profession. In 2018, I started working as an architectural photographer, documenting projects of various scales. My work has been published across different platforms, and I’ve had the opportunity to speak at events and share my experience in architectural photography.

I’m excited to bring this background into our tour to exchange ideas, explore new perspectives, and rediscover architecture through the lens together. I look forward to capturing the unique character of Nordhavn with you!

Hi, I’m Diana Lund Nordstrøm. I’m a communication professional, career consultant, and the founder of Career Network Denmark, where I’ve guided hundreds of internationals through navigating life and work in Denmark.

My passion for connection and storytelling is what led me to create NetWalks, a concept that combines networking, local exploration, and meaningful conversations during guided walks around Copenhagen. These events have become a space for people to learn, share stories, and experience the city in a new way.

With a background in branding and years of experience hosting community-driven events, I love designing spaces, online and off, that help people see both themselves and their surroundings with fresh eyes. This photo walk is an extension of that mission: a way to slow down, notice the details, and capture the city’s personality together.

I’m thrilled to be co-hosting this experience and can’t wait to explore Nordhavn with you, camera in hand.
