Timeline

1925

Rigmor Mydtskov (1925, Copenhagen – 2010) was a Danish court photographer who is remembered for her portraits of artists performing in Danish theatres but especially for her many portraits of Queen Margrethe and other members of the Danish royal family.

Born in Copenhagen, she spent her childhood in Helsingør where her father, Hans Julius Mydtskov, was also a photographer.

Her Swedish mother, Mary Edit Nerman, had been a nurse in Lund.

1937

In 1937, the family moved to Copenhagen where her father, who had taken photographs at the Royal Theatre since 1930, opened a studio in Store Kongensgade.

1954

In 1954, she began working little by little as a theatre photographer, first substituting for her brother Jørgen, finally taking over his position when he retired in 1972.

Her empathy and artistic approach helped her in her theatre work, an area which had always fascinated her.

In addition to her assignments at the Royal Theatre, she also worked in many other Copenhagen theatres.

It was in the theatre that she learnt about the human character, photography and decor.

Her theatre photographs were often taken during actual performances, revealing additional intensity and action.

She worked with great concentration and without interruption.

"The photographer's place is in the third row," she would say.

1955

1975

After her divorce in 1975, it became her own studio.

Taking photographs of the queen was a challenge for Rigmor as she realized every portrait would be historic.

Realizing that people in such positions tend to act as if they were masked, she sought to portray the person behind the mask, although she often succeeded in maintaining a little of the secrecy.

As a portrait photographer, she was gentle, intuitive and confident.
