Biography
I graduated from The Danish School of Media and Journalism in 2009 and was in my early twenties when I became interested in photography. My first attempt with the photo-journalistic genre took place in a dim hotel room inside the red light district of Mexico City. Since these early photographs of a Mexican transvestite I have attempted to expose social inequality through photography. In recent years I have devoted most of my time exploring the human consequences of climate change. It began in 2009 when I traveled to the Carteret Islands in the Solomon Sea and lived with the locals for a month to research a story about climate-induced migration. The same year I invited an island chief from the islands to speak at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen and have stayed in contact ever since. In 2011 I began photographing in Greenland and plan to return shortly to continue my work about climate-driven environmental changes and their consequences.
