Welcome!
I am a photographer living with my family in Copenhagen, Denmark. In my day job, I work as a professor of philosophy, specializing in ancient Greek philosophy and modern environmental ethics. I have no formal education in photography — I am largely self-taught. I have been photographing more seriously since 2023, and in 2024 the American photographer Chris Murray served as my mentor. Way back, I studied Renaissance art history at the Warburg Institute in London, and that background has remained valuable to my photography.
What drives me when photographing a landscape is not only the enriching experience of being immersed in nature, but the prospect of using a camera to render my interpretation of a natural scene, filtered through my sensibility with honesty. The real challenge is honesty — and by that I do not refer to restraint in post processing and respect for the integrity of the captured scene (although that is important), but to the ability to remain truthful to one’s personal sensibilities and thoughts.
The physical print, not the digital image, is the final expression of my work. The size, aspect ratio and paper used for the print determine how the image appears to the beholder as an autonomous, physical object endowed with an agency of its own. This also applies to black and white photographs, where the print translates form, texture and luminosities into tactile and tonal qualities that take on a reality of their own. For this reason, I print all my images myself on high-quality Canson paper.
