About me
A Danish-English hybrid educated in film-making in Brighton, specialising in camera and visualising creative projects. I have been involved in media productions since I was 13, starting as a runner and since then being involved as a camera assistant on a plethora of different productions, from TV-spots and short films to corporate and commercial productions. My experience within the industry has very much been hands-on, and is the type of work that I am most comfortable with.
