Nature and Landscape photography ✢  Film based picture making ✢ Darkroom printing

About the photographer

I am an amateur photographer making pictures entirely for the sake of my own pleasure.

I think there are three aspects of photography caching my interest:

First; to stay in forest, land and by waters searching for motifs that capture the features of our nature. Sometimes I seek for dramatic scenes, but just as often for harmony and more quiet scenes.

Second; to create pictures and make prints hands-on. This is one of my reasons for using traditional processes and analog film. I develop all negatives myself and spend great effort trying to learn the art of printing in the darkroom – to paint with light.

Third; to devote myself into technical details by reading-up on variuos matters and learning to put them into practice. For example how to handele a view camera, how to selecting appropriate film and develop it correctly, how to find the best printing technique to suit a particular negative, etc.

Price list

First hand I make pictures for my own amusement. All prints are made in the traditional darkroom and mostly on baryta based paper at sizes 40x30cm (16x12") or 30x24cm (12x9.5"). To print in the darkroom is a craft requiring time and patience; the editions are small and due to the somewhat unpredictable nature of the process each print is unique. If there is interest in a particular print, please contact me for an inquiry.
