I’m an award-winning photographer, working on both Fine Art and commercial projects. I take equal delight in Fine Art, commercial portraiture, creative beauty editorials, and the combination of all three.
I love collaborating with artists across various disciplines: painters, dancers, writers, make-up and hair artists and other creatives.
I frequently take pictures of female models with body types that aren’t normally featured in photography. I often frame these models in a Fine Art context (e.g. portraying them as sculptures in a museum, as paintings, or geographical terrain) in an effort to hinder the viewer from making a kneejerk sexual value judgment. I encourage the viewer to take an aesthetic interest in the geometry and textures that make the models’ bodies unique, moving beyond society-dictated notions of attractiveness.
I challenge the concept of photography as a modernist medium by creating images that are inspired by sculpture and painting, and also approached as though created in a non-photographic medium.
I was born in Stockholm, Sweden, where I spent the first 18 years of my life, before moving to London to pursue my studies in Fine Art. I’ve always been fascinated with the human form in all its iterations, particularly the female body. This interest has grown since moving to the United States, where nudity, the body, and how we view it are highly controversial issues.
