Dennis Lehmann

Have camera, will travel.

I am a commercial and editorial photographer from Copenhagen, Denmark, with a BA in Photojournalism from the Danish School of Media and Journalism. I have worked with a broad selection of Danish and international media including an 18 months internship at the Danish daily Berlingske. I also do a bit of writing, video, teaching and graphic design.
