Hey, I’m Mikkel. I’ve spent most of my life standing behind a camera — not to capture perfection, but to listen. To people. To silence. To the small, trembling places where truth begins. My journey started long before I understood it. A darkroom in the basement of my childhood home, a simple camera in my hands, and a strange, unmistakable sensation that something in me woke up every time I witnessed a real moment. Not the polished kind — the human kind. The kind that breathes.

Since then, nearly forty years have passed. Years of working with international brands, design agencies, leaders, founders, and creatives. But the deeper truth is this: My real craft has always been presence. To hold a space that allows people to land in themselves — to soften, to be seen, and to let their essence rise naturally. I rarely stage people. I meet them. And what we create together is not a performance, but a recognition. My work today is centered around this meeting — a quiet, grounded, human encounter that becomes the foundation for portraits, brand identities, and visual storytelling that feel alive. Images with pulse. Images that remember who you are before you try to be anything.

My approach is simple. I pay attention. I look for the truth that’s already there — the way someone’s presence shifts when they finally exhale. Photography, for me, is not about adding anything. It’s about witnessing what is already here and giving it space. Nothing forced. Nothing loud. Just the moment as it is. And if that moment becomes a portrait, I want it to feel honest. Uncomplicated. Human. That’s the work.
