About

I was born in 1994 in Örebro, a small Swedish town, and moved to Stockholm in 2015. Since late 2024, I've been living nomadically, working on long-term photographic projects.

My work is driven by a fascination with history and curiosity about the present—an attempt to understand the world and its inhabitants through sustained immersion and lived experience that bird's-eye reporting won't reveal. I'm particularly drawn to the moments that reveal something essential about how people live in relation to their environments.

With a background in filmmaking, my mind is structured around storytelling, which I explore through the combination of text and visuals. My written stories can be found on Substack.

I'm available for commissions and collaborations.
