Bio:
Michael Drost-Hansen is an award-winning freelance photojournalist based in Vejle, Denmark. He works primarily on editorial assignments across Denmark for newspapers, trade publications, magazines, and NGOs. Over the years, his work has appeared in various international outlets, including The New York Times.
Having spent years documenting displacement and human rights in refugee camps both in Denmark and internationally, his practice has progressively shifted toward a more observational and anthropological approach. Rather than focusing on breaking news, he engages in long-term, reflective visual storytelling that examines social structures and daily life.
This approach is reflected in personal, long-term projects such as Echoes, an anthropological photographic essay.
