Red Shirt protesters supporting ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra are challenging the

current government in the streets of Bangkok. Their demands are dissolvement of parliament

CHINA EARTHQUAKE

On May 12th 2008, the Chinese province Sichuan was hit by an earthquake, reaching 7.9 on the

Richter-scale. Over 69,000 persons lost their lives and another 370,000 were injured.

CLANDESTINO

Every year, thousands of Africans flee from pov-erty. One of the routes to Europe is the small

Mauritanian port Nouadhibou. Here they live in the shadows, waiting to cross the Atlantic. They

are called “Clandestinos”, which in Spanish means “the Secret Ones”.

OBAMARAMA

The day that the Obamania hit Copenhagen. Barack Obama touched down

on a five hour stopover. The Danes turned out in great numbers, hoping to catch a

glimpse of the American president. Few where that lucky.

I’m currently based in London

My work has a strong humanistic focus. I’m interested in human society and the impact we have on our self and each other.

I work on curiosity. Mostly my subjects are areas unknown to me. By understanding, I try to disseminate information to a broader audience.

I have a strong photojournalistic background. I work with doc-umentary projects. My photography is observant.
