Two of my images from Mumbai made it to Canon Professional Network Editors Choice by Daphné Anglès, European Picture Coordinator at The New York Times. One of the images is in Daphné’s Top-10, mentioned about 8 minutes into this video. It is from my story Maximum City Maximum Slum.

Welcome to my new site. I finally got around to do something about it.
Over the next short period, I will add images, stories and stuff. Please bear with me in the meanwhile.
Take care,

This site features my photography
I am a Danish freelance photojournalist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. I believe in the power of the image, that it can make people act. My work follows the tradition of concerned photography, documenting social issues.
After a career as an IT consultant, I changed direction to become a photojournalist. I enrolled at the Danish School of Journalism. As part of my education, I interned for 18 months at the major danish daily Berlingske.
I am available for assignments, both domestic and international. Contact me for assignment inquiries.
Have a look at my tumblr playground.
Jeg er freelance fotograf med base i København og løser fotografiske opgaver i hele landet og i udlandet.
Jeg tror på at et billede kan påvirke mennesker, og at det få dem til at forholde sig til hvad de ser. Om det så er reportagebilleder fra ulykker of fattige, eller præsentation af medarbejdere i et firma.
Jeg er uddannet fra Danmarks Journalisthøjskole og løser opgaver for dagblade, fagblade, magasiner og virksomheder - alle former for fotografi.
