I got my first digital camera as early as 2002, shot with that for 6 years before upgrading to a proper dslr in 2008.

During fall 2009 I had my first photoshoots with multiple flashes. 2011 I aimed to do more natural light shoots, it was nice to learn lighting without strobes. Because that way, you have to think a lot more lighting wise when emulating natures lighting schemes.

2012: went to Australia, Fiji & Indonesia for 6 months, after getting used to minimalist gear while traveling, it was time to play with bigger lights again on 2013. So now main stress is on water & action type of shots.

2018 to present:

Found my photography firm in autumn of 2018. Now the emphasis revolves around architecture-, product-, travel- and corporate photography. I find myself shooting stock image collections for different clients. I am also enjoying reportage -style imaging for different publications, it has always been a pleasure. I hope to be able to upload some images here at Flickr in near future.

Thanks for everyone who has been making pictures with me !
