About My work
I do projects like "Tax the Rich" about inequality and homelessness or "Stranded" a metaphysical tale about our civilization and moments frozen in time and space.
I do photo books like "Black & White" and "Stranded".
I exhibit photos from my projects like "Maybe this was what they thought". A work done in collaboration with Nanna Sten who wrote the stories for each portrait.
How I have exhibited the different projects are shown in the "Exhibitions and Books"-section.
I also exhibit single photos.
Please feel free to contact me if you want to show some of my photos at an exhibition or if you have an idea for something we could do together or have any questions regarding my pictures.
Occationally I also make documentaries.
