Photography Guest Of The Week Morten Svenningsen


Morten Svenningsen is quite a creative young man who I wanted to introduce you all to as this blog's first Guest Photographer of the Week. He is based in Nepal where he lives with his family. Morten enjoys coherent groups of people interacting and to that end founded Gaia Photos, comprised of a group of photojournalists that is rapidly becoming a trusted source for editors from around the world. Morten is also a music lover and a terrific author who writes a blog too. This guy does it all while producing great photography.!

Morton was born in Denmark in 1974. After working a few years as an engineer (microwave electronics) he graduated from Copenhagen Media School in 2004 and has been working as a freelance photojournalist since then. He won the title of Danish travel photographer of the year in 2005 and his writing and photography work has appeared in several magazines, books and newspapers around the world. His main interests are in the socio-political fields, and he primarily focuses on inequality and the transcendence of human suffering. Morten is also the director of Gaia Photos.
