Career as a photographer
Career as a photographer
Eskildsen was born in 1971 in Copenhagen. He was a pupil of Rigmor Mydtskov in Copenhagen and went to Finland in 1994 to study photographic book making with Pentti Sammallahti at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. He lives near Copenhagen and has exhibited some of his works in Europe (including Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, France, England, Italy), China, and South Africa. From 2000 to 2006, together with the writer Cia Rinne, Eskildsen sought out Romani in various (mainly Eastern European) countries and other ethnic groups in India who may be related to the Roma. The fruits of this work have culminated in the book The Roma Journeys, which provides insight into the life of the Roma through its text and more than 200 photographs.
