The everyday hero, the shadow figure and his rottweiler, plucking the bad guys of the streets to keep the rest of us a little safer. Or so the story goes.....

Photographer and artist. Born and raised in Stockholm.

Main track is black and white noirish conceptual fine art portrait photography. The drive is to build scenes and stories from the borderland between reality and fiction, flashes placed in a time between now and back when. Within that space I feel I can connect the dots and discuss our common future, where we´re truly heading.
I also admit having an affinity for the cinematic and chiaroscuro.

To pay my bills I´m on a regular basis hired for commercial portrait work.
