I was 25 years old when I first came to live in London, a bit of a culture shock moving from rural Sweden. Assisting gave me a good grounding, I worked with fashion and unit photographers in Stockholm, Cape Town and London and I hold an MA with Distinction in Documentary photography from London College of Communication.

Over the years I've had the pleasure of working for NGO’s like Royal Society for Blind Children, Diabetes UK & Prison charity UNTOLD as well as global brands like Chivas, Siemens and L'Oréal and many others. I really enjoy commercial work and editorial commisions, especially when it aligns with my personal practice but my heart is in long-form social documentary. My work centers on notions of masculinity, identity and class, like Bruce Davidson, Chris Killip and Anders Petersen and many others I aspire to tell extraordinary stories about ordinary peoples lives.
