Artist Statement:
Allthough I shoot both in
color and black and white,
taking black and white
photographs is for me the most
natural way to express myself
artistically. I try to
envision the subjects I am
shooting without color, wich I
often find a distracting
element. This way I can
consentrate on lines, shapes,
forms and shadows - the little
details that people for the
most part overlook. Recently I
have taken many photographs in
color, thus trying to develop
my skills in this genre
further. When it comes to the
subjects I choose to
photograph, I have found that
certain places have a special
kind of attraction on me.
These places I visit over and
over again under different
lightning conditions, trying
to capture them the way I
want. Some of my best black
and white photographs are
taken only a few hundred
meters from where I live. This
proves the point that you do
not have to travel to exotic
places to find good motives. I
often feel that the motives
come to me, rather than the
opposite. I am constantly
trying to improve my
photographic skills in terms
of expression and motives.
My style is characterized by
elegance and simplicity. ...
