An artistic soul born in Lapland but bred by different world cultures.
An artistic soul born in Lapland but bred by different world cultures. My creative career includes directing an award winning documentary movie, but also working as a production coordinator and location manager to start with. I’ve been following my passion from youth as visual story teller, as a photographer at first, but quickly transitioning to directing videos and documentaries.
My speciality is documentary style storytelling, concentrating on the special skills and characteristics of people. With attention to passion and detail, I think that in every person, landscape and situation, there is a captivating story to tell. This applied to the marketing skills acquired from working with other agencies has proven to be a very effective and functional combo. My previous decade long experience in wilderness guiding has taught me useful skills in hearing the needs of people, and making the right actions to achieve them.
I’ve mainly shot in the Arctic region, specialising to the exceptional light conditions around the area and the demanding weather conditions in it.
I do editing and shooting for clients in and from other areas also, so don’t be afraid to put my approach to test in other environments. That’s why I’m here.
