I picked up a VHS camera at the age of 10. The rest is history. In short, I went from shooting silly little films with friends, to studies, work on doc’s and then I moved into lighting department. Early in my career I left Sweden for London and its booming film industry. Today I’m still London based but I frequently work in Sweden as well. My studies were in Photo Journalism, Filmmaking and Media Technology.
If there’s a philosophy behind my work it is that the image should not distract from the story, it should rather elevate story and be emotive. Additionally I value speed on set, collaboration and the creative process. I tend to make decisions on camera movement, lens choice and lighting based on character and story. Occasionally, it’s just about making things look pretty cool. That’s ok too.
