Bio: Joachim Ladefoged is the newest member of the international photo collective VII. He began shooting at 17. Six years later, in 1995, Ladefoged joined the staff of Politiken, Denmark's national newspaper. He has since worked in more than 25 countries, winning international acclaim for covering war, conflict, and ordinary life around the world. In 2000, Ladefoged published his book Albanians, about the turbulent life of the Albanians during the years 1997-1999. Visa DOr, World Press, Life Magazine, and Denmarks Picture of the Year have all awarded Ladefoged for his work. He was the first Dane to win first place in a photo-story category at World Press and he is credited with being one of the driving forces behind the new wave of Danish photojournalism. Ladefoged lives in Denmark with his wife and two sons.
