Michael Ancher Thomas Samsoe

Michael Ancher

Michael Ancher is from Denmark, and he have worked since 1980 as a glamour-photographer for all the biggest magazines, around the world.

His work is published in magazines like Playboy, Penthouse, Lui, New Look, High Society, Hustler, Gallery, Genesis, Club, Mayfair and many more.

In 1982 he began shooting nude girls for men's magazines, ( at that time still living in Denmark ) and traveled around Europe to find and shoot the most beautiful models. He was mostly shooting out doors at that time, traveling to various exotic locations like Mexico, Bahamas, Caribbean Islands and Northern Africa.

At that time he got involved with Playboy USA, after shooting some pictorials for Playboy Germany. They send their Art Director, Janice Moses to Copenhagen, to hire him as a scout and shooter for the magazine. Several Danish girls got the chance to appear in Playboy US, and he got to shoot some of them for the magazine.

He shot his first pictorial for Penthouse US in 1984, and after one of his models ( Janette Starion ) was elected "International Penthouse Pet of the Year", it kind of kick started his career as an mayor magazine shooter.
Michael has lived in South of France, Los Angeles, Rome and for the time being in Prague.

With several hundreds covers and pictorials on his back, and still very much active, he now joined forces with Thomas Samsoe to follow new paths in his work.
