The Chosen Ones

The search for interaction between humans and animals has always been something that
interests me. My thought came to Holy animals a couple of years ago and how they are
accepted to live among us and found that intriguing. Holy animals are selected by us,
selected and considered to be special. But not without being exploited in some way. The
meeting with them, their surroundings and how their lives are in our presence is what I seek.

I was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1978. I graduated from GFU
(folkuniveritetet), Stockholm 2004, before furthering my studies at Fotoskolan STHLM where I graduated in 2006.

I am a melancholy Artist, interested in nature in all its form, both from the countryside and city. My photographic style consist of roughness, contrasts, beauty and environmental content.

I grew up close to a 4H farm, where my mom worked, at the outskirts of Stockholm/Sweden and not too far from where I now have my home. Here I find the contrasts of the city and the country life that I need to create.
