Anders Petersen
In these intimate pictures he tenderly portrays the sailors, prostitutes and ragged nocturnal guests who frequented the bar. Since then, Petersen has continued to produce series of photographs of close encounters with social outcasts as a recurrent theme. Today, Petersen is an internationally recognised photographer with a strong influence on younger generations of Nordic photographers.
