I’m Danish and consider myself primarily a Landscape Photographer. I have photographed for about 45 years and prefer Landscape, Nature and Architecture Photography.

I’m fascinated by early morning where the landscape is still “virgin” and where I mostly have it to myself, but I also like the late afternoon/evening light, which I share with larger crowds. I strive to relate the beauty of the landscape, by use of colour, light and lines that invite the viewer into places and landscapes that are balanced and calm, for the viewer to revel in and wonder at.

At the days of the analog film cameras, my favourite film was Fujichrome Velvia – I have tried to bring that expressive colour with me into the days of digital. Since 2017 I photograph mostly with medium format cameras of the type Fujifilm GFX.

I like to complete much of my photography at the place of capture where I can retake the scene until satisfied, so I know what I come home with and can minimize the amount of post processing in front of the computer screen. That is where filters (ND and GND) comes into place enabling me to control exposure both in terms of length of exposure to achieve the expression I want and to control the contrast in the scenes. I hardly ever take pictures without the use of a tripod.

I also enjoy having my pictures printed in very large formats up to 2 x 4 meters and that is where the Fujifilm GFX line of cameras becomes an essential part of my photography as they provide me with extreme resolution and detail, both due to the large sensors and as well due to the fine line of Fujinon lenses with their high resolving power.
