MY STORY

LIVING SLOW & STAYING WILD

I believe in living slow, being present in the now and enjoying all the small things in life. I try to bring this mindset into how I see the world through my viewfinder.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

I felt fed up with the city life

That was seven years ago. Life moved at a fast paced tempo and money and consumerism ran the show. A window in my life opened up where I had the opportunity to uproot. So I left the place where I grew up and headed north, towards my roots. I was born in the most northern part of Sweden, in a small mining town with nature around the corner. But as a kid I did not really appreciate it. Now I decided to once again live in a small town, lead a slower life and to spend time in nature instead of in shopping malls and cafés.

In the forests around Sundsvall I found myself and what I am passionate about: To live a life rich with experiences, not things. Here I became whole and happy, found inspiration and a purpose. You can really feel the colors and textures of nature in my pictures now. They’re moody, warm and down to earth. I wish to use photography and my online presence to tell stories that inspire others to enjoy the Freedom to Roam that we’re lucky enough to have in Sweden. We don’t have to travel far to experience magic.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I work as a freelancing photographer within the outdoor & lifestyle niche. I am definitely addicted to coffee, and I love cats, especially my Luci.

I go crazy over shadow plays and lens flares, and in the evenings I am often found dancing in the kitchen with a cold craft beer while cooking shrimp tacos or a hearty stew.

Mother Nature and all her colors, texture and light is what inspires me wether I am capturing moments with my camera, painting with water colors or making jewellery.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Mostly she sleeps on the job. But she does help me get up and take screen breaks (in order to feed her or let her out and in again).
