I’ve always been curious about nature. Like many children, I started by exploring the tiny world around me—bugs, leaves, puddles. But as I grew older, that curiosity faded. Perhaps it’s just how our society works—keeping us busy with sports, video games, and other distractions that, historically, are far removed from our natural roots.
Everything changed with a trip to Africa. It wasn’t photography that sparked my transformation, but rather a deep desire to reconnect with the natural world. I began learning about birds—initially as a gesture of gratitude to my wife’s stepfather, a passionate birder who had invited us on the journey. I wanted to be able to share his enthusiasm, so I studied the birds of East Africa. That experience opened my eyes to a world I had overlooked for too long.
After returning home, my wife and I started hiking regularly. Being outdoors awakened something in me. I picked up a camera simply to document our time in nature—but that small step led me down an unexpected path.
A few years later, I bought my first zoom lens, and that’s when things truly shifted. Slowly but steadily, photography became more than a hobby—it became my passion.
Today, my work is not just about capturing beautiful images of birds. It’s about telling stories—observing individual behaviours, relationships, light, and landscape, and weaving them together into a narrative. I want my images to show that nature is more than just "green." It’s complex, fragile, and endlessly inspiring.
By spending more time in nature and learning about it, I believe we deepen our appreciation for it. This catalogue is a reflection of how I see the natural world. It’s my way of sharing that vision—and a reminder that nature is worth protecting, for ourselves and for generations to come.
As the ice breaks
När isen släpper
Little stint in the vast landscape
Småsnäppa i det vidöppna landskapet
As the ice breaks
