I am a Stockholm based photographer who discovered the true joy and fascination of street photography relatively late in life, after working as a film director, doing commercials, tv series and shortfilms.
I am interested in ordinary people in everyday situations who inadvertently become an integral part of their surroundings. My twenty years experience as a film director has taught me to see the street as a stage where I can direct juxtapositions and relationships between, colors, patterns, buildings and people. In this way, I am also a director as a street photographer. But without all the technical fuss and a big team behind my back. Only by observing and pay attention to moments that feels absurd, extraordinary and real. When I take pictures I feel close and honest to myself, with a open heart and mind. That’s why I try to bring my camera wherever I go.
My first book, Stockholm Street Colors, will be published in the fall of 2020.

About The Collection
For five years I have taken pictures on the streets of Stockholm with my eyes fixed on color, shadows and associations between people and architecture. I call the project Stockholm Street Color. Stockholm is known to be a cold and dark city most of the year. With my pictures I want to show the opposite. Stockholm can also be full of color and energy. People and colors that give life and movement to Stockholm. I try to capture moments that not only have interesting color combinations but also juxtapositions that are perceived as absurd or unusual. Moments that make the city and everyday life unlikely and interesting.
