I am a photography-based visual artist currently living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I work on long term projects and on photography based assignments primarily within the genres of documentary and portraiture. In 2013 I graduated as a photojournalist from Danish School of Media and Journalism. Since then I have worked as a freelance photographer with commercial and editorial clients, and as freelance lecturer. I have held various positions at Danish Folk Highschools as an educator of conceptual art photography and documentary photography, e.g. Krabbesholm Højskole and Grundtvigs Højskole. My work has been exhibited in renowned institutions as well as in more experimental formats; museums, art centers and at various festivals in Denmark and abroad.
