About


I am a photographer, teacher and writer born 1990 in Copenhagen, DK. I hold an MA Photography & Society from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague where I now teach.

I engage with and observe my local and global communities personally and directly and invest enormous amounts of myself in looking with curiosity and empathy.

My work has been exhibited and published widely across Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany and The Netherlands.
