I PREFER TO BE BEHIND THE CAMERA
It all started back in 2014 with Instagram and I used my iPhone for shooting, I discovered that other people also appreciated simple, clean and minimalistic motifs. It really took off when Instagram selected me as an suggested user and my feed gained many thousands new followers in just a couple of weeks. Today my Instagram is my main platform where I try to inspire my many thousand followers when it comes to minimalism photography.
My pictures have been displayed all over the world, they have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Berlin, Hyderabad, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen and in Örebro in Sweden. I am also represented at the Swedish Museum of Photography called Fotografiska.
I sell high quality prints and some other stuff based on my works trough carefully selected retailers around the globe, here you can find your own favorite and update your walls for an affordable price.
In March was my photobook released, 190 pages packed with my pictures and the witty quotes that has become so popular on Instagram, you can order the book here.
ABOUT ME
To think of taking a minimal shot
Normally taking a shot, the photographer tries to get as much as possible into the frame. For me, its the other way around – I try to get as much as possible out of the frame, getting as few items and simple composition as possible. But a really good minimalistic shot needs a little twist, an deviation from a pattern or something to stand out.

NEWS FROM THE BLOG
Drone time !
I bought myself a drone. I´ve been thinking of it for quite a while and now it really happened. I haven’t been able to fly it that much yet but it´s so fun! Read more about my aerial experience by clicking HERE.
Editing Software
Even if minimal photographs often contain fewer elements there is almost always a need for editing. I edit almos every pic in some way, from just taking some unwanted elements away or make a sky ”pop” some more or even more advanced editing when rebuilding a picture in total.
The software I use most frequently are Pixelmator, Affinity Photo and Adobe Lightroom. (click for links)
Pixelmator are available for Mac and for iPhone/iPad, Affinity are available for Mac but a version for Windows is under development and there is a free beta version to test. Adobe Lightroom are available for both Mac/Windows/iOS and Android.
Both Pixelmator and Affinity have a user-friendly interface and are really challenging other more complex and more expensive softwares as Adobe Photoshop.
Pixelmator is simple to use with a self- intuitive design.
Affinity have a lot of online video tutorials that is a great help.
Lightrooms interface take some more time to learn.
I use Pixemator and Affinity for the major part of the editing process, I use Adobe Lightroom mainly for its unique opportunity to adjust lights and tones to pictures, where you very easy can not only to gradients but also work and increase lights and colours of parts of the picture using the brush tool.
The price for the Pixelmator and Affinity for MAC are based on a one time charge and is aprx 4o USD for Pixelmator and apex 65 USD for Affinity. Pixelmator for iPhone and iPad is aprx 5 USD, and you find it here : iOS version.
Adobe Lightroom is included in Adobe price plan for a monthly fee, aprx 15 USD per month.
