I’m currently based in London

My work has a strong humanistic focus.

I’m interested in human society and the impact we have on our self and each other.

I work on curiosity.Mostly my subjects are areas unknown to me.By understanding, I try to disseminate information to a broader audience.

I come from a strong photojournalistic background.I work with documentary projects.My photography is observant.Instead of taking pictures in the situation, I take pictures of the situation.

I have a Masters in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from London College of Communication and a Bachelor in Photojournalism from the Danish School of Journalism.
