Welcome!
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 sensibilities 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. When I succeed, the natural scene is approached as a physical reality as well as a meaningful metaphor — though rarely a metaphor of something that I am able to verbalize.
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. A print is a way of giving back to the world something initially offered by it. 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. The images displayed on this website are considerably down-sized compared with the original images.
I am an amateur photographer living with my family in Copenhagen, Denmark. In a distant past I made and exhibited sculptures and reliefs, but I quit, primarily because I was a bad match for the art world — I needed time, intellectual space and freedom from the distraction of recognition in order to develop better conditions for myself. I have been photographing more seriously since 2023. In 2024, the American photographer Chris Murray served as my mentor. In my day job, I work in the field of philosophy, which somehow shapes my photography, and vice versa. I have no formal education in photography — I am largely self-taught. However, years ago I did an MA at the Warburg Institute in London, in which Renaissance art was central, and that background in art history has remained valuable to my photography.
