“You have to focus on what you are doing,
not just as a photographer, but as a human being”

-Anders Petersen, photographer

Photographer and filmmaker for a good quarter of a century, I focus on the visual space of everyday life in communities. In a humanist spirit, I reach out to a story in depth and breadth about the loves, frictions and cracks in life.

My photos have been published in various magazines, including ei8ht photojournalism, Third Text and the Dutch daily de Volkskrant. My work is also included in museum collections in the Netherlands and Belgium.

This Bittersweet Life is my photodocumentary-in-progress about Trasnistria, the poorest corner in Europe.

A large part of my work came into being in close collaboration with Elisa Veini, my partner in work and life.
