We love environmentally-friendly lifestyles! For our Green Living Photo Quest, we asked you to submit photos that celebrated being eco-friendly and encouraged sustainability.
Though there were many incredible submissions that inspired us to be more “green,” the winner was Søren Thuesen with his photo “Rooftop Garden & Restaurant.” Our contest judge thought this well-executed aerial shot showcased the farm really well, and that the photo was shot at the perfect time, with a sunset that “adds a nice and welcoming feeling”:
Thuesen gave us insight into his winning photo and the stunning location where it was shot: “The roof to beat all roofs in Copenhagen! Just a few years back this former outside garage for a car dealership was turned into a rooftop garden. The roof hosts everything from beehives, chickens, and lots of vegetables to a beautiful restaurant within a greenhouse. I’ve been lucky enough to visit this place 4 times and every time has been as epic as the last—watching the sun setting from this place truly makes for a magic night.”
Thuesen also told us a little about himself and his photography: “I’ve been into graphic design since as far back as I can remember. I’ve always been playing with colors, typography, lines, and visuals in general, so photography came as a natural extension of that. I’m a huge fan of landscapes and man-made structures above and below ground, but I’m always carrying my camera in case of epic situations like a sudden rooftop sunset in the middle of dinner. Today I’m working as a photographer and a visual designer—one day I’m shooting hotels and beaches for a travel agency, the other creating books and websites.”
