Kim was born in September 1980 in Grindsted, a small Danish town situated on the windy moors of Jutland. As a restless teenager he moved to the U.K, where he graduated from the Editorial Photography course at Brighton University in 2006. Since then Kim has undertaken extensive projects in countries as diverse as China, Greenland and Sierra Leone. He is now based in London.
Kim’s work has been described as “ visual streams of unsung tragedies, vulnerable integrity and chance encounters”, and as “strongly authored black and white experiences, which cleverly invites you to lean into sharp places”.
His debut book “DEAD TRAFFIC” will be released by Dienacht Publishing in Spring 2012.
