2 down 1 to go. Light, room & action

I woke up at 7 am this morning with my stomach full of butterflies! The reason for the butterflies, was that today was the day for the 2nd part of the course for Media & Journalist school. The course was divided in two assignments. 1st one was a written theory test and the 2nd one was a photo assignment in the field. We were asked to shoot a library, which was famous for it's rebuilding and functions. It had even won a distinguished prize called the MIPIM award.

We were given three words: Light, Room & Action, that we had to interpret in our own way. My first thought of the assignment was that it sucked big time, because thinking that 57 others and myself had to walk around and shoot the same thing was boring. But I quickly became aware of that there was a purpose and why they picked this place for us. They wanted us away from our safe zone and make us think out of the box and I loved it. It made me think in ways I never have done before and I loved the challenge that forced me to think and spot things others didn't.


These pictures was my  interpretation of Light, Room & Action, seen from inside of The Library on Rentemestervej 76.

I was already done shooting after an hour an a half, so with three hours to go,  I thought I'll make a little photo series on my fellow competitors and hopefully soon to be class mates:-)

It was fun to see how the others worked and I can't wait to see how they solved their assignment.

Tomorow is the last day of tests, where we are shooting portraits and getting interviewed by the teachers.

Wish me luck!

Going to Tignes, France.

I rarely get to travel or go on vacation. Like so many others I wasn't born with a gold spoon in my mouth, my parents didn't buy me an apartment n'or did  they give me a trust fund that I can use. I got three jobs, my photography and my charity projects, to take care of, so I can have some butter on my bread and pay my bills and you know what? I love it!
So when Nick from Bitchslap  asked me if I could go for them, because some of his own photographers couldn't, I had to say yes. My wallet was low on cash, but fuck yeah I needed to get away from Denmark for a little bit. Though of course it was work/photography related, but I still very much loved it! :-)


A little bit over a month ago I went to Tignes for Bitchslap Mag, to cover the Danish Freestyle in Skiing. Funny as it may sound, because we have no mountains or that much snow in Denmark, we still could and had a Danish championship in freestyle skiing. The size of competitors was not that many, but those who were there, did some sick shit and got massive air on the kickers and the halfpipe!

This was my first trip on skiis, but I have been on snowboard two times before in the last 28 years and boy did I suck at that! But since I’ve been rollerblading for almost 10 years, skiing came more natural to me and after two days or so, I felt I was flying;-) I’m totally done with snowboarding!

Can’t wait to go next year, and you know what? Next year is all about more skiing and less work!

Here are a picture mix-up montage from the trip!
