About Me

I am deeply interested in people.

People are everything to me, they are my source for happiness, sadness and of course inspiration.

My aim is to create "real" images, I attempt to expose what is going on deep within the psyche of my subjects. My photographs are of authentic people with their emotional and physical baggage exposed.

When I create I tend and prefer to portrait people I have come to know intimately and have connected with.

I come from Stockholm, Sweden but I have lived in Edinburgh since 1998. Perhaps my attitudes are linked to my nationality; I have been intrigued and puzzled by the differences in culture. Here, the page 3 girls smile invitingly at us on a daily basis, but to introduce humanity "as it is" tends to offend people.

My photographs are a reaction to the fake visual culture of advertising and fashion. I do not set out to offend, but I feel an image should provoke a feeling; it should inspire or trigger something very deep within the observer.

People are amazing and portraying them as they are is what I do.
