About Me..
About Me
Photography has been a passion of mine for many years.
I have completed two full-time photography programs. The first was during the analogue era, where I developed skills in darkroom techniques. During that period, I worked extensively with a Hasselblad medium-
format camera. The second program focused on visual expression and
the aesthetics of image creation.
Over the years, I have been actively involved in Vellinge Fotoklubb (VFK), where I have taught courses in advanced camera settings and macro photography. I have also served on the club's board.
In addition, I run the Facebook group Skånska Naturfotograferna, a dedicated and active community for Swedish wildlife photographers
and birdwatchers.
My interest in animals has shaped much of my life—from horses and
show jumping in my youth, to dog breeding and participation in dog
shows across Northern Europe. After many hectic years, I decided to
stop competing and instead spent several years breeding tortoises and parrots. Today, my focus is primarily on birdlife and nature photography.
I currently serve on the boards of Skånes Ornitologiska Förening (SkOF)
and Stiftelsen Falsterbo Fågelstation, contributing to bird research, conservation, and migration monitoring.
I live in Ljunghusen in southern Sweden and work professionally as a Quality Manager at a packaging company.

My design interest..
I have always had a great interest in design and after a trip to Niagara Falls in 2003,
I designed the 'Niagara' chair. In 2005 I participated at the Denmark Furniture Fair in a talent stand. Unfortunately, other things in life came in between to continue my furniture design career.
The chair is handmade of American cherry wood, aluminium pipes and a seat in calf leather.
