How would you describe your work? Photography that is simple in form, but rich in ideas and emotions. Melancholic, surreal, graphic and minimal are other key words I would use you describe my own work. We definitely think that your work has a certain aura about it! What does the word Aura mean to you? How does it inspire you? An atmosphere that makes the individual feel a certain way. To me, I try to create an aura in most of the work I produce. For instance, a melancholic and surreal atmosphere that engages the viewer to feel a certain mood that is personal to myself. What is your biggest inspiration as a creative? I find a lot of inspiration from my day to day life ; the serene Scandinavian landscapes of my youth, dreams I have, as well as the psychological world, cinema and paintings. Who is your favourite photographer? I’ve never had one particular favourite photographer, but try to be influenced by new artists continuously in order to push my work to a new level. However, Magritte has been a big influence in all of my work, and right now I am very drawn to the photographer Julia Hetta. How do you continue to improve your work as a photographer? What do you do to educate yourself? I’m currently completing my BFA in Photography in San Francisco and will graduate this December 2016. School has definitely helped me to evolve as a photographer and pushed me to create a signature style as well as exploring fashion and motion photography. Besides this I do a yearly overview of my work, so that I know which direction I should go next. What do you shoot with? I use a Canon 5DIII, a 50mm 1.4 lens, a tripod and a self-timer.
