PHOTOGRAPHER & WRITER
I am Karsten Bidstrup, a Danish based, award winning photographer and writer.
I am also a National Geographic contributor, a proud published author, an eager world traveller and,
I like to think, a down-to-earth guy.
With an old camera...

OLD SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY
I guess am an old school photographer.
However, there are pictures on this homepage that have been through Lightroom and Photoshop.
In fact, they all have - there really is no way around it in today's photography.
Even if you are old school.
There are no AI generated pictures though. For me AI is an inspirational partner when I seek inspirational feedback or when I haven't got a clue and need some kind of answer.
It's not a creative crutch or a convenient solution to a photographic challenge.
