People & Places
I have always watched. People mid-flow in their lives, moving through a city, caught in a moment they won't remember. The place shapes them. Sometimes they shape the place. That is where I start. Always.
Suburbia
This is an ongoing project. Years of stopping, looking, photographing places that weren't asking to be noticed.
Suburbia fascinates me — the quietness of it, the tidiness, the way these places present themselves so carefully to the world and reveal so little. There is something strange in the ordinary. I keep looking for it.

Portraits
"A photograph, whilst recording what has been seen, always and by its nature refers to what is not seen." — John Berger
A portrait is supposed to be about a person. But the ones I keep coming back to are about a moment.
Not set up, not directed. Caught in a moment of being somewhere, thinking something, not quite looking back.
Some are people I know. Some are strangers who let me get close enough.
REturning Home
I left Copenhagen at 19. I came back 28 years later.
I thought I would feel at home. I didn't.
There is a particular kind of disorientation that comes from returning to a place that is supposed to be yours. The streets are familiar. The light is familiar. But something in the relation between you and the place has shifted — and you can't find your way back to what it was.
I shot the whole project on 35mm film. The same way I first learned to see, in 1989. It felt like the only honest way to look — slowly, with something at stake, one frame at a time.
A city doesn't wait for you. It just continues. These photographs are what I found in the gap between the place I left and the place I came back to.
