About

I am an independent photographer based in Copenhagen specializing in street and documentary photography.

It is behind the camera that I feel most freedom and purpose and I am learning the power of imagery daily, and I have fallen for the simple joy of exploring and seeking magic in our world with my camera.

My passion lies in documenting our world, our people and our emotions. Almost everywhere I go, I carry my camera with me. I like to be inspired by the people I photograph, and with each image I take, I learn more and more about humanity, what makes us unique and the forces that connect us together. For me, it is a tremendous privilege to be a photographer and having the freedom to tell a story and communicate what we see and feel. It is a great responsibility that I don’t take for granted.

My goal is to produce images that are honest and true to the profound people, the human experiences and scenes that provide the blueprint. Our world is always moving, always evolving and always transforming. But what remains constant is the raw human element – our emotions, and that is what I seek to capture in my images. It is what provides photographs with truth, intimacy and poetry.

A BIT MORE ABOUT MYSELF

I am not sure when my interest for photography started, only that I enjoy taking pictures of a lot of the things that happens around me.

I don’t hide behind lights and technology, but rely on what my gear brings me. Also patience and lots of optimism are one of me deeds. What I mostly get in return is the chance to make honest pictures.
