“I was born in
Malmoe, Sweden 1945. Already at the age of 10 I started to be interested in
photography. After two years of education at a photography school I got a job
as a press photographer on a picture agency. During the four years I was
employed there I worked primarily for various newspapers and magazines, which
became a useful experience.
Between the years
1968 to 1974 I worked as a freelance photographer in Malmoe. These years I was
also traveling in Europe and USA in a period of time of three to four months
every year.
Then I moved to
Stockholm and continued to work as a freelancer with assignments for magazines,
customer magazines and businesses. Some of these assignments meant to travel in
Europe, USA and Asia. I also lived two years in Los Angeles where I worked for
different Swedish customers.
Photography has
enriched my life, both professionally and personal. The reward has been the
people I met and the places I have seen. In my own work it’s people I like to
photograph. To capture the rapidly passing moment, which for most of us go
unnoticed.”
