I’m a left-eyed photographer born 1975 in Byske, a small town right by the sea, and practically raised on a sailing boat in the Bay of Bothnia. I studied at Gamley School of Photography in 1995-1996. Photography takes me around the world, but home will always be Skellefteå in Västerbotten. I have a fiance and a five year old daughter. We have a big house by the sea and a summer house on a small island. This is where I find inspiration and harmony. I have a background in arts and design, but photography was too powerful to resist. While still working at a swedish record label I started freelancing as a photographer which grew to a full time business in 1999. My clients are usually ad agencies and magazines. I also do exhibitions and books. I use photography to visualize both my own and others stories. My main focus is people and I love shooting in daylight and real situations wether I’m doing commercial, advertising or editorial photography. I always come back to thoughts like “What will I do when I grow up?” But I think I have to realize that photography will always be part of my life, my work and my passion.
