Mayfly
The photo is from my project Mayfly. With an old Polaroid camera I preserve peaceful moments in life. It freezes snapshots from life. A mother with her child walks hand in hand along the water's edge and looks out over the horizon in southern Denmark.

Biography
An incurable curiosity about the human being is perhaps the main reason why I become a photographer and writer.
With my camera and pen as an excuse I can take part of people's stories and life.I have traveled around the world for various aid organizations and on my own assignments where I have portrayed people's different living conditions. Often with a focus on women's rights. I love to experiment with different cameras and techniques. I believe in challenging myself by trying new expressions to constantly evolve. I am also a poet, filmmaker and photo teacher.
