I am born and raised in Denmark, Europe, but left my homeland and migrated to Australia in 2005 for love and now live at the South Coast of New South Wales.

Before I left, I started taking photos of what was around me as to not forget once settled in my new country. After some years, the interest grew and in 2008 I took a course at ANU learning the basics. In 2011 I did a CIT course mostly about studio light.

I tend to most photograph landscapes and the creatures within, especially birds.

Over the years, both in Canberra, where I lived before moving to the South Coast, and here at the South Coast, I have been a member of a Photography club/society. As an amateur, its a great thing as you are able to get valuable feedback and learn new skills which will help you be a better photographer. I am currently member of the Eurobodalla Photographic Club where I won Image of the Year in November 2013.

At the Eurobodalle District Show, January 2014, I was very happy to win Champion Exhibit in the Photography category and even made it into the local paper. You can read the article here.

During the years I have won several Highly Commended awards in National competitions like ‘Photographer of the Year’ and Top 30 the ‘Mono Awards’.

My latest exhibition was over 2 month at the local Museum in Moruya in September and October 2024. All images of birds – a collaboration with another Photography club member. I had incorporated a birds soundscape as well.
