Om mig |
|
Jag har arbetat proffessionellt som fotograf sedan början av 20'talet.
Min bakgrund ligger främst i konststudier och designutbildningar med bland annat en Master of Fine Arts in Industrial Design vid Danmarks Designeskole i Köpenhamn 2005. Mina kunder är allt från privatpersoner till företag, små som stora internationella aktörer. Jag fotograferar främst hundar och motorcyklar. För endel en konstig kombo, men för mig helt naturlig. Oavsett om du fotar en motorcykel eller en hund så gäller det att hitta rätt vinklar, rätt ton och främst att få fram "den där" känslan i bilden som kunden vill ha. Sedan 2017 håller jag även fotokurser online via Zoom för dem som vill bli bättre hundfotografer. 2021 utökade jag min kursverksamhet och håller idag även fotokurser "live". Som hundfotograf arbetar jag bland annat åt Svenska Kennelklubben, Hundsport, Svedea Hundförsäkring, samt senast åt Postnord med att fotografera FRIMÄRKSHUNDARNA. Jag anlitas inte bara av företag utan även av uppfödare och vanliga hundägare som vill föreviga sin hund. Om du vill veta mera eller är intresserad av att anlita mig, tveka inte att höra av dig! |
How long have I been a photographer?

My dad had his own darkroom at home in the basement where he developed photos from film and I thought it was incredibly exciting to see how the pictures appeared on paper. I got my first camera when I was 9 years old. It was a pocket camera with regular film. When I was in my early teens I got my father's old system camera, a Pentax with several lenses. When I grew up, I spent a lot of time in church since they had many youth activities and one of them was a photo group with camera laboratory and everything.
I have studied at several art schools with a focus on fine art painting, sculpture and design. I was accepted to the Danish School of Design in Copenhagen where I studied product design for 5 years as well as visual arts, composition and also photography. Since then, I’ve worked professionally with image and form. So now I have the fancy title – “Master of fine art in Industrial design”.
I graduated in 2005 and have since worked professionally with design and photography as a freelancer.
As a photographer, I work mainly with dogs and motorcycles. Strange combo you might think, but they have a lot in common. A portrait of a motorcycle or a dog, it's about finding the right angles, the right composition, the right light. Both of their bodies contain a lot of energy and speed. And both of them can be iconic.
My cutomers represent large international companies such as BMW Motorrad and Indian Motorcyles for which I have photographed press photos for new model releases, as well as smaller companies, associations and of course everyday dog owners and breeders.
As a dog photographer, I work for the Swedish Kennel Club where I do editorial assignments for articles in their members’ magazine. I take photos for their photo archive and I regularly attend dog shows as a ring photographer to eternalise the group and BIS winners.
The biggest job to date that I’ve done as a dog photographer was the job I did for PostNord (Swedish Post Authority) in 2020.
The Swedish Kennel Club and PostNord had a competition where the winner had his dog portrayed on a stamp. And I was given the amazing assignment of taking these photographs, which later became stamps.
Those were a few really memorable weeks, just when Covid hit Sweden and there were big discussions about lock down. Amidst it all I had to travel all over Sweden to meet these dogs who of course lived in different parts of Sweden, which is a geographically long country as you know. It was a surreal experience travelling 3500 km through Sweden and it was more or less empty everywhere. But it’s a job that I’m glad I did.
One positive side effect of Covid, was that it opened some new doors. With limited contact and canceled jobs, Covid also opened the door to new digital meeting places. So, a year and a half ago, I started holding photography courses via Zoom. It's among the most fun things I've ever done! It’s so incredibly rewarding to teach other people to take pictures and especially when it comes to dogs. To be able to follow their progress and see what they manage to achieve after just a few weeks of coursework, it’s an incredibly satisfying job!
