SWEDEN’S FIRST PRINTED BOOK ON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
A Wedding Photographer’s Secrets
I wrote the book I wish I’d had when I started photographing weddings in 2012.
Drawing on ten years of experience, it brings together practical advice, personal stories and inspiring photographs for aspiring wedding photographers and couples planning their day.
Featured on TV4 and in Kamera & Bild. Acquired by libraries across Sweden.
Available in Swedish only.
BEYOND THE CAMERA

I began painting during the pandemic, when photography suddenly came to a standstill. Since then, acrylic painting has become a natural part of my creative work — blending bold colour and abstraction with subjects drawn from real life.
