I love to tell stories with my photos; to suggest a journey, dark, magical and full of possibilities. I love the contrast between life and death, dark and light and strive to show the beauty and tension between the two. I have always been inspired by dreams; the fantastical feeling of being in another world, how the impossible becomes possible, how forms morph and change and how universal laws such as gravity do not exist. With my photographs I hope to capture the surreal feeling of a dream and transport the viewer to another world full of imagination.
