Photography has been part of my life since my teenage years. My uncle had a Pentax Spotmatic and took amazing black-and-white photos. As a marine biologist, he spent a lot of time in the great outdoors and plenty of his photos were landscape photos. I had found the beginning of a hobby and a lifelong passion. My parents bought me a second-hand Nikomat FT2 for my 16th birthday as a first step on the journey. The rest is, as they say, history. I still have that camera and it still works.

My first encounter with professional photography was as an assistant to Tomas Ringqvist & Vänner, one of the most respected commercial advertising studios in Stockholm at the time. Apart from the privilege of working with a seasoned, professional photographer, I had the opportunity to operate the latest Nikon, Mamiya, Hasselblad and Sinar cameras. I learned about lighting, models, processing, studio sets (how to build them and tear them down), film loading, and last but not least how to carry a lot of stuff.

While the studio experience laid the knowledge foundation, I soon realised that my passion was landscape photography. I have always been an outdoors person so the leap to landscape photography wasn’t a big one.

While my background is Swedish, all my digital photography is from Australia and New Zealand. If I ever get my old slides converted to digital, they might be displayed here too one day.

My work is a mixture of carefully planned and spontaneous photography. Considering the amount of camping and exploring I do with my 4WD, there is no shortage of opportunities to come across fantastic views that lend themselves to great photographs. There is always a camera nearby which means that anything I see can be turned into a piece of art.

I hope you love my photographs as much as I do.
