Though he was born in Denmark, for the past 18 years Jesper Storgaard Jensen has called Rome his home. Secularly, Jesper comes from a linguistic background. His language skills led him to work in an embassy in Rome where he was employed for 10 years. During that time, he began to take on a few freelance writing jobs, but it wasn’t until he was assigned an article where he was to supply the photographs as well that Jesper found his true passion – photography.
