seeking light
in wild places

I’m a photographer and filmmaker drawn to the northern landscape — to its mountains, old forests, and the quiet places between. For more than two decades, these landscapes have shaped both my life and my work.

Moments in the Wilderness is my first long-term project — a year-long exploration of the northern landscape through the seasons and changing light. The project grew from a deep connection to the mountains and forests, becoming a film and a handcrafted print portfolio. 

My current project, The Old Forest, is the next chapter — an exploration of the old-growth forests of northern Sweden. After more than a year of fieldwork, I’m now bringing everything together into a documentary film and a handcrafted print portfolio of ten photographs, scheduled for release in February 2027.

Explore the project through the Field Journal.

When I’m not seeking light in wild places, I live in the countryside outside Östersund, in Jämtland, with my partner Petra. In 2022, I was honored as Nature Photographer of the Year by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

My journey as a photographer began in a remote valley in the Swedish mountains, where I fell in love with both the landscape and photography at the same time. I knew, right then, that I was hooked for life.

Since then, I have returned to the mountains and forests year after year. What began as a fascination with the landscape and photography gradually became a deeper relationship with the places themselves — a relationship that grows stronger with every journey.

Through my work, I hope to bring you there: to these wild places, the changing seasons, and the fleeting moments of light.
