Sweden
Educated and experienced photographer located in Stockholm, Sweden. Besides photo studies at Fotoskolan in Stockholm I've got a Master's degree in Film Art and Media and Communications.
My photographic preferences cover a wide range but generally I prefer to avoid the most obvious clichés and at least add a personal, queer, creative or sort of disturbing element to my work. Art to me is about testing borders, provocing, asking questions and making your audience to think and feel at the same time.
Besides my commercial practice I'm continually working on my own art projects generally considering our relation to the image and expression of others and our bodies, the abstract connection between flesh and mind, examining the subjective body rather than the body as a passive object.
