About

"Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur."
Alfred Eisenstaedt
I do now have a French "statut" as photographe auteur and do exhibit regularly in France, but at heart I am still a happy amateur photographer.

I was born in DENMARK, but moved to the LOT in SOUTH WEST FRANCE in 2001, and started photographing again. I haven't stopped since!

The LOT is known for its beautiful landscapes, bastide villages, medieval architecture, vineyards, an exceptional variety of wild orchids and, best of all, welcoming and interesting people. Capturing local nature and village life gives me great pleasure, and some of these photos do find their way into local photo exhibitions.

Travelling is another passion. This will be reflected in my Galleries where you will find a selection of images from BURKINA FASO (West Africa), AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, DENMARK, ISTANBUL and more. Landscapes of course, but especially Street Photography.

PORTRAIT, B/W and color, is another passion; I have set up a very simple studio with lighting, but do like to play around with natural light outdoors.

In January 2011, I was offered the chance to stay 3 weeks in a village in the North of BURKINA FASO, making a photo reportage on the "WOMEN POTTERS IN THE SAHEL", in cooperation with Development Workshops France, a French NGO . My first Photo Reportage! These images have been exhibited in the Lot several times in 2012/13.

If you are interested in knowing more, or maybe even in buying photos presented on this website or offering me an opportunity to exhibit - although this is not the main goal of the site - please fill in the contact form. Professional prints on Fine Art papers are available at reasonable prices and in sizes up to A2.


FRANÇAIS
D'origine danoise je vis en France dans le Lot depuis 2001. Je m'inspire de cette belle région, mais aussi de nombreux voyages un peu partout dans le monde. D'autres thèmes favoris sont: La photo de rue, les portraits et le macro, très souvent en N/B.

J'ai maintenant un statut de Photographe Auteur, ce qui me permet d'exposer mes oeuvres. Donc, si vous avez envie de me proposer une exposition, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. J'ai déjà exposé des séries sur LES FEMMES POTIÈRES DU SAHEL, LA SAGA D'ISTANBUL, PERCEPTION DE VENISE parmi d'autres.
Je participe régulièrement à des concours photo; cela m'arrive de raccrocher des prix!

Ce site n'est pas conçu somme un site de vente, mais n'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous craquez pour une de ces photos. Je fais des tirages sur du papier d'art jusqu'au format A2 - pour des tarifs raisonnables.
