Your composition in your images are so
intense and beautiful, do you use a lot of time
planning the composition or do they emerge
intuitively while shooting?
Thank you. Anyone who knows me knows that
I’m not big on planning, I can’t even make
a dinner reservation! I do love to develop a
concept/idea though, I’m definitely not planning
my composition beforehand. Almost all my
favourite images happened spontaneously.
All the models/people in your photographs
have A very strong and sexy persona/
expression/body composition how do you get
that out of Them ? Or are you just very good
at picking out models with that natural spirit
in Them?
Everyone has it. Everyone! Its just a matter of
direction and bringing it out. And to see what fits
this particular person. I get very focused on the
person I’m shooting, its a temporary love affair.
ever going to give that away — I love that part just
as much as photography. Life is what nspires me
every day, a well cut neck passing by, the smell of
spring, an old lady with too much make up on, the
punks jackets on the street, an amazing song and
the smile on someones face when i show them a
portrait i took of them.
What are your goals within your work with
photography. Stories to tell, places to travel?,
people to capture?
I’m not very goal driven, although I know how
to make things happen and push thru an idea,
or go ahead with a dream, but for me its never
been very set up how I want my career to play
out. Honestly I wasn’t expecting a lot of things
that has happened the last few years, everything
evolved rather quick and I’m super grateful for
been given the opportunities to travel, the trust
from clients and to do what I love. But I need to
have exhibitions! Thats my goal now haha.

Tell us about your love for photography , do
you prefer natural light or are u more Into
big light settings ?! Are you involved in the
retouching process yourself ? And who/what
inspires you to push yourself to grow Every
time you take pictures ?
Natural light, that gives me space to let the model
be free and move around and focus on more
interesting things such as the dept of the lipstick
or how the hair falls haha! I do all my retouching
myself, its a part of the process, I don’t think I’m
