In August 2012 my client, product design company Maik ran an ad campaign for their building blocks Build & Destroy. The campaign ran in Cover kids for a while and has a dark humorist twist. Cover is a Danish group of magazines with several publications for men, women and kids. Earlier this year we developed a concept for a photo shoot with the editorial / commercial world in mind and its great to see how it has evolved from beginning to print
In June 2012 the Danish museum of modern art Louisiana, chose two of my images for the exhibition NEW NORDIC – Architecture & Identity. The show explored contemporary architecture in Scandinavia and the influence of Nordic culture on how things are built today in the region. My images documenting the Urban space Super Kilen,were featured in the show and are used to illustrate the chapter dealing with Democratic urban spaces in the wonderful book accompanying the exhibition
3 of my images from the series Suburbia were selected for a group exhibition as part of the Copenhagen Photo Festival 2012. The images were exhibited at the Old Brewery on the Carlsberg site between the 7th – 17th of June. The excellent people from Galleri Naboløs curated the show with 25 photographers contributing work selected from over 4000 submitted images.
When I moved to Denmark in 2011 I was very lucky to meet photographer Bjarke Ørsted. Not only that he is a wonderful photographer he is also humble and egoless which meant that instead of being rivals we could focus on collaborating. He was kind enough to let me shoot with him on many occasions which led to great work produced for various clients. This time, we teamed up to shoot a few ads and the annual report for one of Bjarke’s oldest client. Niels Brock is an international school for higher education that has been a leading force in the field of business education and innovation, with schools in many countries world wide.
At the end of 2010 Millennium images, representing some of my work negotiated a successful deal to have one of my images illustrating a book by poet Sean O’brien. The book titled Afterlife is O’brien’s first novel and was released by Picador.
