Ballet
I went to shoot a ballet rehearsal earlier today. It was for a different newspaper than I shoot for regularly.It’s fun to watch how the choreography of the ballet is basically made on the fly to fit the music. Having seen the rehearsal makes me kinda sad that I don’t get to shoot the real [...]
No snow… At all!
So we’ve had two freaking days with snow so far. And that was in the beginning of November. We’ve had two days with temperatures below freezing. And it’s the 27th of December!We’ve set new heat records for the past three months in a row! Daily average is around 7-8 degrees celsius (about 45 degrees fahrenheit). [...]
Pick my brain
Craig was asking me a few questions about the caravan fire assignment I did the other day. I decided I would give you an insight as to how I approached that shoot.Arriving at the scene the very first thing I do is scan the area to get an idea of the magnitude of the damage [...]
No lights - no ticket
Apparently the cops have changed approach…The local police district will be reshaped next year. So some of the money they have which will not be available in the new district is being used in an unthinkable way.Bike riders who are stopped by the police for not having lights on their bikes (when required), they are [...]
Burn the house down
Imagine what mess and incredibly harsh smell the result of 4 caravans and a couple of cars being burned down leaves. That’s what I faced when I was sent out to shoot pictures of the mentioned “event”.I think these pictures speak for themselves.

I apologize for [...]
Blockade
This was actually shot two months ago.Daycare personnel were unhappy about funds getting cut meaning more kids for less personnel. To display their anger towards this they made blockades at several daycare facilities forcing parents to either take a day off work or bringing their kids to work.I was assigned to cover the story and [...]
Shooting kids
Shooting pictures of kids is a very touchy subject. There has been a great deal of cases with child pornography in Denmark. That has left everybody way paranoid. Me included being a photographer. Getting an assignment to shoot something with kids I always contact the highest authority on site. If I’m on a school I’ll [...]

I was assigned to do a portrait of him.The main story of the article is how they have to be ready to roll in 5 minutes from the time they get the call until [...]
