I am a Swedish photographer based in Paris, working internationally across dance, performance, interiors and editorial projects.

Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, I have lived in Paris since 2013 — a city that continues to shape my visual language. Architecture, light, atmosphere and movement are constant elements in my work.

My approach combines technical precision with emotional sensitivity. Whether photographing a dancer, a theatre rehearsal, a hotel space or an interior, I focus on how presence translates through composition, timing and light

I am not interested in creating generic images. I aim to reveal character — in a person, a place or a performance. The strongest photographs are rarely loud; they are precise, intentional and grounded in observation.

Over the years, I have collaborated with performers, choreographers, property managers, agencies and international clients. My background is largely self-taught, refined through experience, long hours on location, and continuous development in post-production and visual narrative.

Paris is often my backdrop. But what interests me most is not the monument — it is the human presence within the frame.

Private Clients & Ballet Sessions
In addition to commercial commissions, I regularly work with private clients — especially dancers visiting Paris.

These sessions are designed to be calm, inspiring experiences. Whether for a ballet portfolio, a personal milestone, or a meaningful travel memory, each shoot is guided with sensitivity and artistic intention.

I am not a dance instructor, but through years of photographing both young dancers and professionals, I have developed a strong understanding of how movement, lines and expression translate beautifully in images. My role is to highlight strengths and create space for confidence — never to impose.

For many, the session becomes one of the most memorable parts of their Paris journey, resulting in images that remain long after the trip has ended.
