Room with a View

A series of photographs taken from hotel rooms while on tour. Each image looks out through the window, using the window frame itself as a frame. The views range from city skylines to iconic buildings like the Empire State Building or Studio 54 or on other ocassions its just the wall of the neighbor building.There are hundreds of views from all over and I know I missed to take one, another thing to obsess over. There is also an enormous amount of solitude in these images, standing there alone, far away from home.

When No One Is Watching

When No One Is Watching

What eludes interpretation is what is seen, irritates, alienates. It is attractive or repulsive, sometimes both at the same time. Perturbation is a special form of arousal. The world shows itself, but what it actually looks like is what life tells us. “When no one is watching” is a fragile ballad showing a different reality. What does the world do when nobody is watching? This is an ongoing series collaborating with my partner and fellow photographer Cherie Hansson. The series is entirely photographed using the analog collodion wetplate process, which dates back to the 1850´s and each photograph is shot on a 8x10in aluminum plates

The world through a pinhole

The world through a pinhole

Analog series captured with a pinhole camera, exploring isolated landscapes. The images were shot on medium format sheet film, and due to the small amount of light entering through the pinhole, exposure times often lasted many minutes, resulting in slightly dramatic landscapes. To avoid the film being ruined by airport scanners during constant travel, I often developed the sheets the same night in hotel bathrooms, turning them into temporary darkrooms before moving on to the next city.

Anxiety + Altitude

Anxiety + Altitude

Born from a fear of flying, this series started as a way to feel safer in the air. I always choose the window seat. I watch the horizon, trace the light, and photograph to calm my mind. What began as a simple distraction slowly became something much more meaningful. From above, the world softens and transforms, rivers look like veins, fields become patterns, landscapes turn into quiet abstractions. The distance creates space to see differently, and over time, that view became part of my visual language. Alongside the images made during flights, drone photographs extend this perspective, allowing me to explore remote formations, subtle geometries, and the delicate marks time leaves on the land.
