Jonas Bendiksen began his career at the age of 19 when he moved to Russia to become a photographer. Throughout the several years he spent there, Bendiksen photographed themes from the fringes of the former Soviet Union, a project that was published as the book Satellites (2006). In 2005 he started working on The Places We Live, a project on urban slums across the world, which combined photography, projections, and voice recordings to create three-dimensional installations. This resulted in both a worldwide exhibition and a book in 2008. He joined Magnum Photos in 2004.
