MY STORIES
After more than 40 years as a storytelling photographer I have progressively felt the wish to approach fine art photography. I have already had the great pleasure to present several personal exhibitions at Ulvsunda Castle and Högberga Garden. Today, my pictures are hanging on the walls of Häringe Castle, Högberga Garden, KarlabyKro and Grand hotel Saltsjöbaden. I have with my own eyes witnessed a lot of people choosing to spend time and stop at my pictures. I have experienced the joy of shipping off a large wooden box with my framed photos, destination New York, where they are now hanging on some wall in Manhattan.
I’ll admit that it’s a kick seldom seen that my photography is considered art. That is something I want to keep exploring. For me, the boundaries between art and photos are blurred. I want to move forward. Develop. Push the boundaries. Both regarding myself and my camera.

Just to get the opportunity to freeze the moment and hand it to someone else. To someone who sees the same beautiful moment as I did. And want to preserve it. I have often wondered what it is that pushes me. It is perhaps my emotional life, maybe I photograph my inmost, my memories, my experiences, my dreams and my fantasies. I simply can not resist…

When I take a break and read email, it turns out that Carl-Johan Ohlsson, Curator Nationalmuseum Stockholm, asks if they can exhibit two of my photographs from the Biological Museum in connection with 100 Bruno Liljefors being exhibited in Paris, would be grateful, would like to meet. When we meet, I ask how they found me “no one knows what I do, I’m not a name and art photography is a fairly new activity for me that I am having fun with for my own pleasure” he replies “we got a tip from the Biological Museum” and apropos the exhibition “you are the only living artist”.
