newyear

2018 >> 2019

Another year has passed and I managed to publish a total of 7 new personal projects and two behind the scenes videos in 2018. There were a few projects that I did manage to photograph the material for but didn’t manage to finish before the end of the year. That, in combination with lot of new ideas, will most likely make 2019 my most productive year yet with plans to publish over 10 projects.

Behind the Scenes videos

Last year I also published 2 behind the scenes video but this year I will try to double that. Video editing is still a very playful area of creativity to me but so far I’ve only been filming them mostly using smart phones and GoPros. A few months ago I bought a Panasonoic GH5 which is especially good for filming while still being small and easy to use, I hope this will show more in my upcoming videos where I hope to make my videos better produced. I like behind the sceens videos because I love to share the process of how I create my images, I don’t think the process should necessarily be secret, the imagination is what should be the limit, not the tools. See my behind the scenes videos here.

Upcoming Projects

I’ve been sketching on a bunch of new ideas for the past months and I think my feel for light and colour has developed over the past years, it has become a natural part of my work use of artificial light in the form of compact and powerful flashes and light modifiers on location to create the mood I’m seeking. I do however think that the light has to have a purpose in the image, if there is light, it should come from something that makes sense. I recently got a pair of Profoto B10s which I’m excited to try out for the upcoming projects this year and I have plans to build more props for the image as well.

Exhibitions

At the moment I have two new confirmed exhibitions coming up in 2019, one in Minneapolis, USA and another in Seoul, South Korea. But I’m currently in discussion regarding two more exhibitions and one in St. Petersburg in 2020 if your calendar extends that far. See current and upcoming exhibitions here.

Charity Prints ( Barncancerfonden )

In 2016 I started selling limited edition prints. In addition to the limited- and open edition prints I've also been selling a charity print to bring in money to the The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. I donate 50% of the sale price directly to the fund. In 2018 we sold 20 charity prints bringing in a total of 1 467 USD ( 1 287 Euro or 13 148 SEK ) to the fund. Thank you so much for your support!

Thank you!

Finally I just want to thank you for following me on this journey of creativity! Thank you for your support and I hope you will follow me into 2019 and beyond!

New Year & Upcoming Projects 2018

2017 is over and that went fast! It was a good and exciting year but I din't manage to finish up and publish all of the ideas I wanted to. Some due to not finding the right locations and some due to lack of time (priorities). I had four exhibitions 2017, my biggest so far in Dunkers, Helsingborg, Sweden with 40 large prints. I had a smaller exhibition in Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic, another one in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and one in Stockholm, Sweden at the Swedish Museum of Natural History which is still going until March 2018.

Upcoming Personal Work

In 2017 I created Full Moon Service which is probably one of my most popular motives in the past years, I'll try to beat that this year. I have a bunch of new projects coming up in the first half of 2018 and many more planned. I would love to make another book but it took me 9 years to get enough material to fill my first one so this year I hope to put more effort into finishing more new projects. I don't plan many exhibitions for this year and hope to focus more on the personal work. It will be a busy year!

Charity Prints

In 2016 I also started selling limited edition prints. In addition to the limited- and open edition prints I've also been selling a charity print to bring in money to the The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. I donate 50% of the sale price directly to the fund. In 2017 we sold 31 charity prints bringing in a total of 1 430 USD ( 1 191 = Euro ) to the fund. Thank you so much for your support!

Thank You

As usual it feels like next year (2018) will be my most productive year so far. I do have a few projects that are almost finished and I hope to be able to share them with you soon. Thank you for supporting and following my work, I'm excited about 2018!

2016 is over and it's time to get back to work! 2016 has been a fantastic year with my first big exhibition at Fotografiska Museum of Photography in Stockholm as well as the release of my first book "Imagine". I unexpectedly became the nature photographer of the year in Sweden and also became Hasselblad- and Eizo ambassador.

Upcoming Personal Work

I didn't have time work as much as I wanted on new personal work but I managed to produce at least six new pieces throughout the year. I did however manage to shoot a lot of new material that you will see the result of in the first half of 2017! Senja in Norway and Bohemian Switzerland in Czech Republic where the top locations I traveled to. I have about 4-5 photos that I basically have all the material I need to put together and I hope to find time for that in the next weeks and months. The plan is to try to publish one new piece each month in the first half of 2017. I'm planning to do another behind the scenes video of one of them as well so stay tuned there is a lot coming up.

Prints

In 2016 I also started selling limited edition prints. In addition to the limited- and open edition prints I've also been selling a charity print to bring in money to the The Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. We donate 50% of the sale price directly to the fund. In 2016 we sold 46 charity prints bringing in a total of 2 250 USD ( 2 138 = Euro ) to the fund. It was the most single sold print of 2016 so thank you so much for your support! Link to print here: Endless Stories
