My name is Mikkel Beiter and I am 33 years old. I have been living in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the past ten years. I work full time as an IT Coordinator in a smaller IT company. I picked up my first DSLR camera back in the 00'es, I think to be exact it was 2007. My first camera was a Canon EOS 1000d which I used for jobs in the Danish nightlife, taking photos of people partying around in the nightclubs of Copenhagen. I did this a year or two during the weekends while studying to become an IT Technician. After a while, I lost interest in partying and taking pictures, so I put it aside completely for some years.
In 2013, I decided to volunteer on an environmental project out in the bush in Botswana where I stayed for 2 months and I brought my camera for this trip, at this time I had a Canon EOS 7d. I took a lot of wildlife and random landscape photos, nothing good, but my interest in nature photography got a push.
In 2016 I went to Lofoten in Northern Norway with my little brother and my father. For this trip I had researched a lot about landscape photography, how to do long exposures, plan for the light on locations, using filters, and so on. So the goal for this trip was to visit the area and come back with some beautiful landscape photos, but it created a fire inside me and I have been in love with landscape photography ever since!
Today I work with Sony Nordic as a Sony Alpha Pro Artisan and my free time and holidays are often spent to travel to the Nordic regions of Europe, to capture the gorgeous Nordic landscape.
