I’m a hobbyist photographer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Gather ‘round, its storytime.

I was born in 1985, and for the next 17 - 18 years nothing noteworthy happened. I lost teeth, got new teeth, learned to bike, didn’t get a camera by age six so I’d have a great childhood story for this page, fell off my bike, went to school, and basically just had an all around regular childhood. Then I discovered that a computer could be used for things not related to playing videogames or trolling online forums, and suddenly the art ball really started rolling. My first love and my educational background is in 3D computer graphics and graphic design. I had started dabbling with 3D graphics as part of the artist collectives eqate (RIP) and depthCORE under the moniker “monoxism”, and I thought since creating 3D abstracts was super cool, creating other 3D stuff would be equally as fun. Makes sense, right? Wrong.

I didn’t like it at all. Making weird abstracts was exhilarating and challenging, but making architectural visualizations of kitchens was the antithesis of that. Absolute snoozefest. I stuck to it though and eventually got a gig with a manufacturer of computer accessories through a friend, doing graphic design for them for a couple of years. Those were some good times. When it ended I was just burnt out when it came to graphic design, so like the greedy capitalist pigdog I am, I went into management instead. Cha-ching, filthy lucre here I come! But as it turned out, IT management was exactly the right job for me, and I’ve been doing it happily ever since.

But I could never quite let my creative inclination go - thankfully so. One of the people I met as part of eqate was Kim Erlandsen, who at the time was doing some - to me - incredibly interesting photographic work with symmetrical architectural shots of what I assume to be Oslo. I was mesmerized by how he could go out into the real world and create compositions that were every bit as fantastical and imaginative as what we created from scratch in 3D. I wanted to do that as well, so I saved up some money, and in 2003 I got a Canon PowerShot G3. Now my photographic journey was ready to take off - or so I thought. Instead it just never really clicked, and for the next five years I just faffed about taking pretty pictures of flowers and boring mundane stuff.

In 2008 however I got proper bitten by the photography bug and invested in a “real” camera, and haven’t looked back since. I got in on the Instagram craze early, before it was infested with celebrities, beauty bloggers and ads, and back then it was a godsend. There I found a community of fantastically creative people, many of which I still hang out with today. The fact that I kept at it I credit to some of the amazing people I met during that time - people like Oliver Sperling, Juan Luis Vásquez, Jesper Bülow (who I, in all fairness, knew before), Line Perlmutter, and last but certainly not least Søren Thuesen. I’m no longer really active on Instagram, since I think the platform has taken a sharp dive towards rock bottom after Facebook took over, but I am grateful for having been part of the extraordinary community that once existed there.

Since then I’ve digitally shot photos of all sorts of people and places, with street scenes and architecture being my absolute favorite. Like most people I love to travel, and have thankfully been able to combine that with my interest in photography. That said, I’ll pretty much point the camera at anything I find interesting, be that a leaf on the ground or a linedancing elephant.

If you managed to get through this rambling text and want to get in touch, you can use the form below or click the little mail icon in the navigation. Do bear in mind that I’m not a professional photographer, so you can’t intern with me, and I won’t shoot your wedding. But if you’ve got something cool and unique that you think I’d enjoy having a go at just for the fun of it - or perhaps you’re brave/foolhardy enough to ask me to take a photo of you - by all means give me a shout via the form below.
