North Zealand Through the Lens of Photographer Daniel Overbeck

Photographer Daniel Overbeck leads a busy life in Copenhagen, juggling exciting projects and a fast-paced schedule. But when he drives to North Zealand, he’s struck by a unique feeling he deeply values in his life. Daniel set off to North Zealand four years ago in his old 1995 car. He didn’t have much of a plan, just a sleeping bag, some instant coffee, and his trusty old camera.

“I just knew I had to go, and I knew I needed to come back with a lot of photos,” he recalls. That first trip turned into many more, and those journeys to North Zealand marked the beginning of Daniel’s life as a photographer. #the.newborn
