Carl Christian Hansen (born December 19, 1809 in Copenhagen , † 1891 ) was a Danish photographer . In Denmark he is considered a pioneer in his field.

Life

Carl Christian Hansen's father was a pastry chef in Næstved , his brother the later portrait painter Just Michael Hansen (born August 25, 1812 in Næstved; † July 13, 1891 in Slagelse ). Carl Christian's marriage to Henriette Christiane Koch gave birth to their son Georg Emil in 1833 and son Niels Christian in 1834 . After his father's death in 1836, Carl Christian took over his business.

In May 1849 Hansen began daguerreotyping and offered his services as a portrait daguerreotypist in the Næstved Avis.

Hansen trained his older son Georg Emil in daguerreotyping in his studio, who then learned how to make photographs from paper prints in (later) Germany from 1853 to 1854 and opened his own studio in Næstved in 1856 .

Hansen's younger son Niels Christian, on the other hand, graduated from the Royal Danish Art Academy and became a freelance portrait painter in 1855 or 1856.

From 1860 Carl Christian Hansen also offered photographs as paper prints in addition to his previous daguerreotypes.
