I work together with this online magazine called fin-mag and the focus is on creative people. It is a very nice magazine!

I dont really ever shoot commercial in that sense anymore, but I do love working in teams, having a stylist that you are on wavelength with is always fun, making sure of the clothing details, and hair/makeup. I like to have assistants to remind me of things, when I get too excited in the shoot. When I do nudes its usually just me and the model(s), because that usually makes a better vibe in the shoot. My approach is often very spontaneous, I don't plan things too hard, and leave things up to chance. It is a risky path, but I find it is the most exciting and rewarding.

I have been experimenting quite a lot, but what I do now is just a slightly more advanced level from when I was running around as kid taking blurry photos of the neighbor´s new born kittens. I am still all about having fun, not worrying about what others think!

There has been so many different heroes to me through the years and they're hard to point out. But mentors, I have a few, a friend I studied photography with, while living together. I have a few selected people whose feedback I take much more seriously than others. I think it's quite important to have someone like that in your life!

Lately I find inspiration from up and coming photographers, people that do work for themselves and have no filters. Thats great inspiration! I also get a lot of inspiration from films, and a lot of the times, music. Also as I am getting older, books are becoming a greater part of my life. There are a lot of fun images being generated in my brain as I read. Thats a good feeling!
