The Danish Press Photographers Union (Pressefotografforbundet) is having it’s 100 years anniversary this year. Unlike in many other countries almost every documentary photographers, photojournalists, news photographers etc. – staff and freelance alike – are members of the union which has played a significant role in developing the Danish photo-community and pushing for better rights and higher wages in our industry. Now the old lady is turning 100 and a great book has been made together with an big outdoor exhibition in Nytorv, central Copenhagen (and touring the rest of the country afterwards). A good handful of my work has been selected – from a sleepy Danish prime minster, to the mass arrest – both during the COP15 climate summit. But also work from Amazonas, Afghanistan and giant portrait of Norwegian prime minster Jens Stoltenberg (this iPhone picture) can be seen.
