This beautiful old church with the large chapel used to be a sailor’s church and is located by one of the channels to the inner harbour in Copenhagen. Because of its maritime history, this portrait is taken from the channel side with the reflection in the water being an important part of the composition.

I am a Fine Art Photographer, who has exhibited internationally at Florence Biennale 2017, Art Shopping at Carrousel du Louvre and Montreux Art Gallery. As an artist, I have been following the same path since I started as an artist. The approach has been advanced artistic post-processing. The purpose is to to transform familiar urban spaces into quiet visual narratives that balance realism with interpretation. The process is highly precise and controlled. The color harmonies are used actively. The final artworks blurs the line between reality and dream.
