Story on Stiesdal for The New York Times

A little while back I had the pleasure of working on a story about wind pioneer Henrik Stiesdal and the early Danish impact on what today is a multibillion-dollar global wind industry for The New York Times. I did both photographs and video for the story.

The Danish immigration system for the French Magazine L'OBS

For French Magazine L’OBS I recently worked on a story about the Danish immigration system. For the story I met some of the Syrians who live in Denmark and Asif Mehmood who along with all his neighbors were forced to move from Mjølnerparken in Copenhagen by the Danish government.

Published in L’OBS Magazine in March.

Copenhagen's drainage system for German Fluter Magazine

I recently worked on a story about Copenhagen’s two squares Skt Kjelds Plads and Tåsinge Plads for Fluter Magazine. The two squares were the first projects in a big urban renovation project to protect Copenhagen against future floods. The squares now lead rain water into a carefully designed sewage system and have green areas to contain the water.

The project began after a big cloudburst in Copenhagen in 2011 which led to big floodings of the city. Now there are more than 400 renovation projects in the making in eight different municipalities in Denmark for 16 billion danish kroner. I photographed local life at the two square and Jan Rasmussen who was in charge of the renovation project at Copenhagen Municipality.

I recently photographed researcher Rasmus Mortensen for Danish newspaper Weekendavisen. Rasmus works for Statens Serum Institut and researches on creating a vaccine for the disease tuberculosis.

The story was published in Weekendavisen in the beginning of February.
