Where were you then? Where are you now?

May 25, 2016

Started up in London, then moved to New York City. New York gave me a direction, lots of inspiration and a great network of friends and colleagues. Now I'm back in my hometown Copenhagen, enjoying the good life.

Are you following the path of a trailblazer or being guided by a mentor?

May 25, 2016

I always follow my intuition. I do the things I like to do. That's what makes me happy.

What advice would you give someone going through their own transformation?

Just follow your heart, do the things you like and do what feels right to you.

Where's your soul spot?

May 25, 2016

A little wild piece of land in a place called Udsholt, by the beach. We bought it last year and we're in the process of building a little wooden house there. I can't wait for bonfires in the wintertime, morning coffee on the beach, swimming all year around. That's going to be my little piece of freedom and paradise.

If you could do anything in the world, what would you do next?

May 25, 2016

Have a kid or 2 more, and continue the work I'm doing now. I've just started working as a director as well. I would love to do more of that. It's super inspiring and adds to my work as a still photographer.

Photo: My new home office. Very exciting. Can't wait to get this little place to work from.
