About

I do most of my photography in Denmark, since this is where I live. However, several of the images in the galleries are from other countries I have been fortunate to visit. I am most passionate about nature photography, and I primarily shoot wildlife and landscape photos, but also occasionally experiment in other genres.

I am still in many ways a novice in the art of photography, but have come to realize that after mainly focusing on techniques and equipment, the real challenge for me now is in developing the ability to see and create images that contain a more unpredictable beauty. I enjoy studying the works of other photographers, and use them as an inspiration to go and try new things with my camera. 

Without denying my fascination with camera gear, my main motivation therefor lies in the pursuit of images with that special element, soul, for lack of a better term, that make you look a second time. Images that convey more than what is in front of the lens.

There is an intimidating abundance of much more exceptional photographer portfolios out there, but I hope you will enjoy mine too. Developing this website for presenting my photos is an important part of my favorite hobby, photography. The way I see it, photography is about communication, if no one but me was to ever see the images, what would be the point? So should you have any comments, questions or thoughts about my photos or the website, feel free to drop me a line.
