I have been working with pinhole cameras for about 15 years, experimenting with different cameras until I find the right one for the expression I’m after for a particular subject or project.
The design of the camera is an important part of a project for me; tweaking and re-designing until I am happy with the result.
My pinhole work has been shown in a number of exhibitions and in print in Sweden and internationally, including OFFO 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015 and 2017.
I work as a workshop leader from time to time, teaching pinhole photography and darkroom technique. When I do not, I work with B2B communication within the field of technology and engineering.
The images in this series are made with a camera equipped with a slit aperture instead of a pinhole. This adds an element of abstraction to the photos, and poses a challenge to the eye as it tries to make sense of what is in the images – they seem to present something familiar, you may squint and take another look, but you may still not see exactly what they are.
