ABOUT

Nicklas Pettersson, based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

A documentary photographer, drawn to the places where ordinary life and extraordinary circumstances collide.

My work is built on proximity and a willingness to be present in moments that most turn away from. Working with both digital and analogue tools, I am drawn to the edges of human experience, where suffering and resilience exist side by side, and where the weight of history is carried in the faces of ordinary people.

It is the complexity of the human condition that pulls me toward conflict and crisis, not the spectacle of it, but the quiet and enduring humanity that persists within it.

My work has been published in international media including CNN.
