Quotes from the media:

 

Daily Mail (UK):

 

“Art: Danish photographer and artist Mathilde Grafstrom has hit out at the police decision to stop her photo exhibition of naked women in Copenhagen”

 

Jyllands Posten (DK):

 

"When she plays with the light and the shadows and lets the female body show her beauty in interaction with the natural environments she photographs the models in, one fascinates the photographic and artistic sense.”

 

Volo Magazine (US):

 

“Photographer Mathilde Grafström, a danish artist with a passion for nude photography recently scored a defining win for the artistic value of photographic nudes with her public photography exhibition titled ‘Female Beauty’.”

 

FIB: Masters of photography:

 

“Danish photographer Mathilde Grafström’s work is simple: she photographs women naked in forests to combat body image issues. Her series, Female Beauty, reveals the splendour of women at home in nature.”

 

Dekit Art Magazine:

 

“This young photographer has dared to be daring, refusing to let anyone stand in her way. “

 

Q Magazine:

 

“Mathilde Grafström, who, with her image series of naked women, helps to change women's critical view of their bodies. Thus, several of the women have had a positive view of their own body after working as a model for Mathilde Grafström.”

 

Lokalavisen:

 

“Over the past few days, more than 100 foreign media have brought the story of Danish art photographer Mathilde Grafström. She has become one of the most famous and most sophisticated Danish artists.”​​
