I have had a passion for photography for as long as I can remember. I started my business doing childrens' portraits in my living room, after a while moving on to teaching beginners classes and alternative photography at a college in Gothenburg, Sweden. Then I found my lovely studio, where I now offer workshops in photography and various historical printing techniques.
My work is exclusively with vintage cameras and film and I print all photographs by hand.
I love alternative processes,even if they demand a lot of time and effort it's always worth it. My favourites are pinhole photography and liquid emulsion, because of the often pleasant surprise of an unexpected flaw in the picture. I am easily charmed with a new process though and constantly find new things to try out or combine! To see what I'm up to at the moment check out my blog...
