Times are changing fast and even a stubborn person like me seems to change. I have always been curious and
challenged by new ideas and the experience gained through my work around the world for different clients is hopefully making my work better.
Years ago, I decided that an office was not my favorite place and I will always feel more comfortable outside. All my work for clients in the world of sports,
adventures and travelling to strange places have given me an advantage over many traditional photographers who may feel less secure in a not so controllable
conditions. To be comfortable and experienced when the going gets weird is definitely an advantage out in the field. Hanging outside a helicopter to capture a
cruising ship, an oil-rig in the North Sea or a dam project in Venezuela is more my style.
Or sports clothing with real people doing sports. Real fashion with models, no thanks
Outside is my studio and the studio in Stockholm is more like an office and a place for my stockpictures. Adventures will always be high on my
list and even working for a chainsaw company in Oregon, with children's clothing in Morocco or sports equipment in Equator can be a small adventure.
Just don't try to make me photograph in a studio again. Please…
I came a long way to find my type of work. Working in mountains with skiing and climbing taught me a lot and I learned to work fast and not waste
too much film. Experience that I can apply to other kinds of photography. I do more commercial work than editorial these days which is not always more
interesting but definitely pays better and also gives me a possibility to realize my own projects. But I still try hard to work only with clients that
I like and products that I approve of. Makes everything much more fun and most probably a lot better. Enthusiasm is the key word and hopefully my present
and future clients will benefit from this philosophy too.
Give me a call if you think we'll like each other…
