A quick trip to southern Germany visiting my sister who is working for a year in Munich. Of course I was more interested in the Bavarian Alps than the city so during the day we made a few trips into the mountains and went back to enjoy the nightlife in the city. A perfect combination of both worlds. Living in Denmark I miss being able to just go for a day trip to the mountains - there is about 1000 km either north or south to any real mountains.

Møns Klint: Over the Edge /
One of the wildest places in Denmark. "Møns Klint" is a 6km stretch of chalk cliffs - One of the few places where you can actually die if you aren't careful. Very beautiful this time of year when the forest is in its fall dress.
And a few stills...
Hunting without Guns /
An early morning on the hunt. No guns. Only cameras.
Rapha Nocturne /
Nocturnal
nɒkˈtəːn(ə)l/
Done, occurring, or active at night.
Coastal Night /
The days are long at the moment. I always seem to forget how long the nights of summer are and how short the days of winter are. I like the contrast though. The bright nights force me to go chase sunset late in the evening. On this outing I stopped shooting just before midnight when the light was gone.
A Night Under The Stars /
I was tired. About to go to bed. But then I saw the stars were out. I could not resist.
It was a great decision.
- Stay curious!
Alps: Searching for Snow /
As I'm writing this I'm sitting in a chalet in the French Alps (not as fancy as it sounds) overlooking the slopes as the sun is slowly setting. Drops of water comes at a steady pace from the roof. Not ideal. We need fresh snow. But nonetheless we have been out searching for nice light and rideable lines. Luckily we found both. Not deep fresh powder but it was rideable! Although snow conditions are subpar the alps makes for spectacular views. Here are some of the shots I've captured the last week. More to come.
2016: Year in Review /
A new year is a weird phenomenon as the only thing that has actually changed is a number. Although it still makes me and many more think of what was and look for what is to come. 2016 was an eventful year. A year where I got to do many things I really love! Looking back it will be year of many good times with friends in different parts of the world.
2016 started of with a night kayak shoot in Sweden. It was very challenging both technically and personally, but me and the team eventually made a shot we were happy with - after running around a snowy forest in -10c for most of the day. Good times. The shot got picked up by Canoe & Kayak Magazine and they made an interview with me here: link.
Shortly after I went south. Not for the warmth though. I went skiing. I found my way to Austria where I was for about 2 months. Sweet powder turns and great buddies. What time is it? The best time of your life!
Then I got home and had a little down time where I worked on some commercial projects here in Denmark. In that period I also got the call that I was going to Greenland. Stoked.
But before taking off for Greenland I made the time to explore my own backyard. A bikepacking trip along the west coast of Jutland. A trip that ended up being a bit of a rollercoaster ride. A predominantly fun rollercoaster but with a few downs. Also a trip that shows that you don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to find adventure.
Off to Greenland I was. I didn’t really know what to expect but got overwhelmed by massive icebergs, calving glaciers and jumping whales. Before I went I had got my hands on a drone. I was really happy I did! What a fantastic tool. Flying under the midnight sun was unforgettable.
If you ever get the opportunity to go to Greenland, then go - you will not regret it.
All of a sudden I was back in Denmark. Usually it is a bit of a bummer to get back to the rather dull Danish nature - especially after being surrounded by the majestic Greenlandic nature! So to smoothen the transition a made a small trip to Southern Sweden. It is always a good and easy getaway when living in Copenhagen.

I have had a hunting license for some time now but had never really put it to use. That changed in November as a few buddies and I packed the car and went hunting in Norway. We tramped around in the woods for hours but never shot anything. Still a really nice time!

But what about the future, 2017? To be honest I haven’t planned much yet. There are a lot of things I would like to do, places I would like to visit - but no dates have been set or tickets bought.
But with that being said I have some things I know I will do. First of all I have a few personal projects I will finish and some long term ones I will work on.
One thing I really look forward to is to fly my drone. Immediately after buying my first drone in 2016 I was hooked. I have just upgraded my aircraft to the DJI Phantom 4 Professional and really look forward to spend more time with it in 2017.
So let's attack 2017 head on! I wish you the very best of luck in the new year and hopefully many great adventures!

Northern Hunting /
A car full of guys and guns. A few days in Norway.
A hunting trip. Not a photography trip.
(But of course I brought my camera and managed to snap some shots.)
Apparently we didn't manage to kill anything.
But it was still one helluva time together with good people surrounded by beautiful Norwegian nature.
Scanian Fall /
The calendar is saying fall. The weather is saying fall. It is fall.
I made a small road trip to Scania region in Sweden to shoot photographs of the season.
First stop on the route was Söderåsen national park. The national park is basically a "big" ridge intersected by several fissure valleys. The area is covered in mostly beech forest which makes for some great photographs of the spectacular fall colors.
The next day I drove to Kullaberg, which is another ridge, at the very coast of Sweden.
I had watched a vlog from Tom Reader where he visited the semi-secret pseudo country of Ladonia. An incredible structure and piece of art made by Lars Vilks.
The trip ended at the very tip of Kullaberg, where I was almost blown into the water by the strong wind. Naturally there was a lighthouse, but also a model of what used to the "lighthouse" - a caged fire on a flag pole. KISS. The light on the trees was from the new lighthouse' light buzzing by.
Not a bad view to end with.
See you out there!
Red Bull Illume Submissions /
You have probably heard of RedBull Illume. If not, it is the biggest and most prestigious action sport photography contest in the world. After 3 years absence the Image Quest returned in 2016. There are 11 categories which all has a theme connected to action sports. I had photos for 7 of them. It took some time to go through all my action sport photos and it was hard to choose which action photos to submit and which to leave out.
In the end I went with these photos:
CLOSE UP
ENERGY
LIFESTYLE
NEW CREATIVITY
PLAYGROUND
SPIRIT
WINGS
Fingers crossed.
See you out there!
