I walk out the door of wherever I am, my gear in my backpack. Sometimes I know the general direction of where I am headed and what I want to create. Sometimes I have planned the image or footage in detail. More often I just wander off to where my heart leads me that day. I wait to take out my camera until I get the urge to shoot. Until I feel the drive and inspiration and feel pumped to create. It is a special state of mind, and I love being in it.

When shooting a landscape I try to make it reflect my emotional landscape as I shoot. I don’t bother too much about things being technically perfect. I find more interest in caring about the mood and the feeling that I want to communicate. This means that my landscapes are not always balanced, not always sharp and not always perfectly exposed. But it also means that the flaws that I choose to show are intentional parts of what I create.

My style is raw, natural, honest and unposed. I like it when what I create look  candid, and try to get to the point where I’m truly just an observer that people I am shooting don’t take notice of anymore. To get to that point I make sure I get to know people I work with before I take out my camera. I tell you about how I like to work, and we talk about what the idea of the shoot is. What is our goal? That way we work together instead of me just telling people what to do.

Working with adventure and outdoorsy lifestyle is where I feel most comfortable. I love to tell stories of adventure and exploration in nature. Making sure we don’t cause any harm to the natural playground, leaving as little trace as possible. Hence I’m a true believer that there’s always more to explore locally.
