CV.
Born in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Proud father of 3 daughters.
My father is a professional artist/painter so thanks to him i got interested in art,
design and photography early.
Got my first camera at the age of 7 and an own darkroom at 13.
Professional photographer since 1980.
Worked during the 80:es and 90:es with theater and music groups both as a lighting and stage designer. Nowadays i am working as a architecture/documentary/art photographer with both still and moving pictures and as a Visual Director with events of different kinds.
The visual direction work contains lighting design, graphic design and still/video photography and gives me the possibility to give each event its own visual identity.

My recent photographic projects includes the Swedish embassy in Washington DC, Nordic Light Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, City of light in Gothenburg, Sweden, the awardwinning K:fem mall in Stockholm, the lightfestival Fête des Lumieres in Lyon, France, and a photographic documentation of the play Orestien at Folkteatern, Gothenburg, Sweden,

Periodically my own work takes a good deal of my time. Often with conceptual ideas as a source of inspiration. Most of my recent work are part of the all-embracing concept Slow Art.

Slow Art
Contemplation on canvas. Pictures that have a calming influence, counteracts stress and helps to slow life down.
