Bio
I’m a 43 year old woman from Sweden. I work as a photographer and I work a lot with my own projects.
Photography has fascinated me since I borrowed my parents’ camera (an Instamatic) at 10 years of age, and since then I have been photographing.
My photography rests entirely in the personal emotions. In my images you’re supposed to look deeper inside, beneath the surface and the shell. I make images that go deeper inside the individual/the person. The personal affects very much the expressions I choose to convey in everything I photograph. I got my first analogue SLR camera in 2001 and since may 2004 I work as a freelance photographer.
Sometimes I’m planning in my creativity but more often impulsive and intuitive – the image is just there. I get my inspiration from my everyday life and I also feel closeness and affection from the past. My motifs are just about everything; urban environment, people, portraits, self portraits, nature and abandoned places.
Working both analogue and digital, but now I’m mostly digital.
