I graduated from the Danish School of Media and Journalism (Aarhus) in Photojournalism and from the University of Applied Sciences (Munich) in Design. In 2010, I’ve been working as a camera operator for the German TV ARD in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, where I’m pursuing personal documentary projects ever since. In 2012, I created together with six other European photographers "Panaut", a collective of visual authors to realise cross-platform projects, workshops, and exhibitions worldwide. My work has been published in various international magazines and newspapers such as The New York Times, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, L'Obs, Liberation, and Die Zeit. My archive is represented by the German photo agency laif.
