BRANDING STORIES

What is your company’s image? What does it tell? What visions and thoughts did the one who once founded the company have? Where did your journey start? How did one want to be perceived? What did the story look like? And where do you stand today?
Each brand shall serve as a story. Everything you do in the company sends signals about who you are and what you sell. What differentiates you from your competitors? Why should I choose you? Who are you?
Everything begins with the image of your company.
I call myself a storytelling photographer. After nearly 40 years in the profession, I am still as curious as that blonde 14-year-old girl once was. The girl who wanted to capture the world in her camera lens. I want to tell stories with my pictures. A feeling, a scent, a moment we might otherwise simply rush past. It requires patience and commitment.

I put a whole lot of heart and gut feeling in my work. The technique comes naturally after all these years. Simple decorating photos are not for me. There are such a big amount of people out there taking those. I want to reach a profound level and find something more genuine and real. The things that says something deeper about you.
I started my professional career as a photographer at the Institute of Forensic Investigations (CSI in Sweden). There, I began to grow an eye for details. For accuracy. I want to understand your vision. What are your thoughts? What ambitions do you have? Which colors do you use? What I am seeking is the company’s soul. It is the real and genuine that works. That’s where communication lies.
Should we go on a journey together? Build the story of your company using my photographs? A small mosaic of my pictures can be found on my website.
