I Love Creating Storytelling Images With A Surreal And Painterly Look

I started experimenting with creative photography art only a few years back, but it felt like I suddenly had recovered a huge missing part of my life. Not that I really knew anything was missing in the first place, but still – I feel so fortunate to have this passion in my life now.

I forget time and place when I am conceptualizing, photographing and photo editing. It’s like I get lost in my own inner world, only to resurface newly energized with a beautiful feeling of purpose after my photo ideas come to life.

Creating these dark images is, for me, a way to express myself.

These photo manipulations is very much a personal endeavor, but I am also very inspired by the thought that someone else might find meaning, inspiration, or simply be moved in some way by my dark images.

My cool photos are all concept-based and spring from a specific idea or feeling, and I also like to dwell in surrealism. However, I want the viewer to relate in their own reference. I am making it open to be interpreted by whoever is looking. Mirroring everything else in life really; we can all be looking at the same thing, but our experiences are as different as the number of people watching.
