Selected Work / Visual Journalism

TV2 Nord

Camera. Curiosity.
A story to tell.

Context / Current Practice

Inside the story.
Inside the craft.

I’m working and training in visual journalism at TV2 Nord, alongside editorial and technical teams.

As part of my film and TV production training, I’m involved in the process from ideas and research to filming, editing and broadcast. It is a practical education in how a story takes shape — and how the production has to work around it.

Camera and AV work meet journalistic communication in a professional newsroom, with real broadcasts to prepare for.

Practice / In Development

Close to people.
Present in
the story.

The work brings editorial decisions and technical craft into the same process.

Ideas, research & interviews

Finding the story, preparing questions and working with people before the camera begins to roll.

Camera & field production

Practical camera and AV work on location, in collaboration with editorial and technical colleagues.

Lighting & live production

Part of the production craft I continue to develop: shaping light and working within the demands of a broadcast environment.

Editing & visual storytelling

Bringing pictures, sound and structure together so that the story is clear, engaging and ready for its audience.

Major news events / Public-interest coverage

Election coverage.

Alongside everyday field journalism and longer-form productions, I have covered parliamentary elections from Christiansborg and municipal elections — major public-interest news events in fast-paced production environments.

Context / Scale

TV2 Nord’s biggest production of 2026.

During production, TV2 Nord’s director described it as the biggest project in the station’s nearly 40-year history.

A six-part historical and satirical advent series, forming part of a wider public-service universe around history, entertainment and younger audiences.

My contribution / Production & post-production

My main contribution was preparing a very large volume of raw picture and sound for the edit — turning it into an editorially structured, searchable foundation for post-production.

0-klip, logging & editorial preparation

I organised the production’s footage into episodes and takes and structured the corresponding sound material. This gave the editing workflow a clear, usable starting point: editors could find and review the material within that structure.
