PHOTOART
My camera is my brush
More than 30 years in photography. I began my lifelong passion in 1989.
I never planned to be a photographer but a trip around the world in 1989 created a spark.
I come from a creative family, my grandfather on my mothers side was a carpenter paying attention to detail like no other person, I have met. My grandfather on my fathers side was a traditional bookbinder who loved painting and sculpting and allthough my father chose a diffe-rent line of work he always loved the art of drawing.
Through the years I have tried almost everything within photography - in Denmark and around Europe. Clients spanning from the new small biz that needed photos for their new website to global companies needing documentation for worldwide product launches.
The experiences from working in different lines of business and with so many people in so many places has given me a gift in life. I love the conversations with people, I love the process of getting the right idea for the job, finding the location, the light, the angle and working with it in postproduction.
Art is everywhere - even in the places you least expect to find it. Many years ago I was given the opportunity to capture art for a business and that kickstarted my creations. This has led to many more jobs and often the assignment is to correct spaces that needs energy and structure.
