Heya!
Despite the Scandinavian name, I am only 18% Danish. The rest is from Palatine, where the Riesling grows and from the North Sea, right behind the deik. With my kids, who I love very much, I live in Berlin.
My work involves electric cars, unscripted portraits of normal people, sustainable energy and ideally a little humor...because I often hear that I am the only funny German.
I went to high school in Belleville, Canada. After I got some film schooling at the HFF Munich, I went to NYC where I assisted numerous fashion photographers and lived a poor mans sexy life. I did meet some great mentors.
I founded my studio in Berlin in 2009 and have been shooting TVCs and music videos ever since, as well as the odd album cover and portrait. Often times I shoot a commercial and the print campaign together. If you want to see my photography, I have a website and insta for that.
Besides film, I spend my time with boxing snowboarding and wine appreciation. And thanks to Corona I now have a license as a naturopath psychotherapist (Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie). I helps dealing with people.
I taught Photography and Film for the Berlin School of Popular Arts and for Al Jazeera in Qatar when the world was a bit more peaceful. What happened? Do you know?
