A year prior to graduation from Parsons School of Design / The New School, I had the honor to be awarded "Prix Picto de la Photographe de Mode". That became the starting point of my journey as a professional photographer.
Since the very beginning, my interest in photography was always related to humans and nature. After working several years in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, where I photographed mainly fashion and advertising, but also humanitarian assignments for International Committee of the Red Cross, UN etc, my interest in portraiture photography grew stronger. I also begun teaching which had an impact on how I comprehend my work as a photographer. During my stay in Egypt where I was profoundly affected by the impressive and magic urban setting and human activities of Cairo, I started to shoot architecture and interiors, but still in touch with nature and human presence. 
I am returning to Sweden on regular basis, to reconnect to my roots. I am currently working on the landscape project "Lägsta Punkten" (the lowest geographical point of Sweden), a place near the city of Åhus, where I once grew up.
Along my journey as a photographer I had the honor to receive several awards and prizes for my work incl. Picto Prix Jeune Photographe, Hasselblad Foundation San Michele Award, JL Eklunds Hantverkstiftelse, Längmanska Kulturfonden, Kristianstad Kommuns Kulturpris etc. 
I currently live with my family in Enghien les Bains, just outside Paris.
