Born in Sweden in 1972, he is a photographer currently based in Tokyo. Prior to moving to Japan in 2011, he spent 15 years living and working in New York, an experience that has informed his distinctive perspective on contemporary urban life and its shifting landscapes.
In 2013, he was selected as the International Winner of the New Exposure Award, presented by American Vogue and Bottega Veneta. The following year, he published his first photobook, Instant Moments, alongside I Was Looking for Park Hyatt Tokyo, an extensive photographic project developed over seven years. His work has since been exhibited in Tokyo, New York, and Los Angeles.
From December 2015 to January 2016, his largest solo exhibition to date, OIDE, was presented at the Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo. The series was subsequently selected for the 4th International Emerging Artist Award of Dubai (IEAA) and featured in Best of 2016, published by IEAA and Pixalib.
Working across fine art, editorial, and commercial photography, he continues to develop and present his practice through exhibitions, commissioned projects, and collaborations with clients and publications around the world. His work explores the fleeting encounter between people, places, and moments, finding within the everyday an understated sense of atmosphere, presence, and possibility.-
