About
He was one of the largest landowners in Aarhus, Denmark and also spent time in the U.S. He was also a photographer.
He came from Låsby, Denmark and was the son of Boelsmand Søren Peder Hermansen and Bodil Marie Thomasen. After a trip to America he returned to Denmark in 1895 and worked as a photographer in Aarhus.
In 1902 returned to America and travelled to California where he met his wife Marie and worked in photography before becoming involved with early Holywood filmmaking.
After a brief period as a partially successful gold digger, he turned to enlarging and selling photographs making a good living. In 1904 he started making live pictures, and in 1906 obtained his own cinema.
