Visual storyteller specializing in
Adventure, Street Sports, Nature and Travel

Professional photographer, honest stories

I am a professional photographer based in Copenhagen, and I especially target brands, magazines and organizations within Adventure, Street Sports, Nature and Travel in Denmark and internationally.

As an educated photojournalist, coach and therapist, I am used to working with people on a deeply personal level. I focus on delivering honest and present visual stories that inspire both the contemporary human and especially the youth to go on adventures and experience their world in new ways - and themselves and their inner world - when my work reveals new sides of the story.

I myself have traveled in +60 countries and looked deeply into my own being in a search for meaning. I am passionate about passing on my experiences and my wonder through visual stories focusing on the essence of life and man.

My biggest goal is that my images land deeply within every observer, evoking strong emotions within them and makes them feel more at home in our world.

Artist Statement

"I create images to reflect myself in my surroundings and help others understand themselves and one another.

I strive to build bridges of awe and understanding in our time of prejudice and polarised separation.

Visual storytelling is a magical medium to emphasise essential nuances of any story, and I use this power to investigate and express cultural trends and the identity of those involved, both in my portraiture and my personal projects.

Growing up as an outsider, I’m attracted to quirks, to the surreal and to the fleeting moments of wonder that lie hidden in our daily lives. Through my lens I explore, express and affect the world I see towards a new and better narrative."
