“I'm not really good at approaching people on the street, sometimes somebody is so funny looking or cool that I build up the courage, but it's more often details, landscapes, buildings and weird things.”

When not in Copenhagen, Møller could be anywhere from Afghanistan to Peru - wherever his work takes him. Currently, he is obsessed with Mexico, and has several projects on the go there.“I'm fascinated by the family culture there,” he says. “Mexico has a tough history, but family love, their way of approaching life, I'm really attracted to.” One of his other ongoing projects is a documentary about a Danish veteran who moved to the Amazon jungle to treat his PTSD with natural medicine. “A project like that is pure nature,” he says. “In these sorts of situations I tend to feel happier [than in cities], though not necessarily in a positive way. More alive.”
