Trained as an engraver and jeweler. Learnt to daguerreotype from Mads Alstrup in the early fall of 1847 in Hjørring, Danmark. Advertised also in Frederikshavn. Set up his studio in a garden in Hjørring in 1849. Advertised in Aalborg the same year. Continued to advertise his services in a garden in Thisted 1850. Willing to visit homes if 5 or more daguerreotypes were commissioned. Several daguerreotypes in Telemark Museum seem to confirm that he visited ca 1850 the coastal town of Kragerø in Norway (images attributed to him). He may have inspired and perhaps trained an amateur Jens Homann there. His label "Daguerreotyp af Qvist" is found at the verso of a daguerreotype at The National Library of Norway (FAU023).
