"I have been photographing since I was a kid. When I was 14 years old I bought my first camera from the money I earned at my job in a photo lab that summer.
"I get my inspiration every day from music, opera, dance, film, people, light and places with a history. I always try to bring out the beauty in the things I capture, both people and places.
"I work for Swedish and international magazines, shooting both portraiture and fashion. I also shoot advertising for Swedish brands.
"Over the last couple of years I have traveled a lot through Asia and Europe for two Swedish travel agencies."
