Women, light and concrete

Strong, independent and empowered women is at the core of my body of work. Women that are distanced, cool and difficult to please. This constitutes both the aesthetical and ideological foundation in my creative process.

Because I only use the pinnacle of the natural light, does it mean that I let the lighting conditions dictate how I build the photographic scene. I see it as my trademark to without compromises only use the available light to achieve my photographic vision, and as result will give the most pleasing and flattering effect on the subject.

Another vital component in to creative process is to work in the presence of the industrialised society, where concrete, steel, asphalt and other solid and lasting materials are prevailing, in order to conjugate with and underline the strength of the models.

The result of these three major components in the creative process is what I call urban romanticism.

I'm also heavily influenced by the aesthetics found in Vogue magazine and I often borrow symbolism and concepts from the history of art, especially the renaissance.

Notable projects

At the School of Photography I worked with the project The A-series, which combined the aspect of engineering with social commentary, under the pretence of studying the conflict between identity and indivuality.

The project Candle, as in Candlemas explores the social values found in Dutch renaissance paintings expressed with the usage of candle lights, and how those values resonate in modern Scandinavian society.

I currently focus on storyboarded photographic series.
