I am a Copenhagen-based amateur photographer and academic. After making and exhibiting sculptures in my early career, I took a step back from the art world to protect my integrity. Today, landscape photography is a personal and meaningful practice I have pursued seriously since 2023. Though I am largely self-taught, my visual work is informed by my time at London's Warburg Institute, where I earned an MA centred on Renaissance art and culture. My photography was further refined during a 2024 mentorship under the American photographer Chris Murray. In my day job, I work as a professor of philosophy.
This website is only an introduction to my printed, black and white landscape photographs. I reckon that one needs some online presence, if one wishes to be identifiable as a photographer in the modern, digitized world. Still, I only put out very few images on this website. The displayed images typically belong to series, which I do not display here in full. 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 paper.
