Hi there! Thank you for visiting my profile and gallery. I hope you enjoy some of my work. Most my photographs share a certain style. For instance: There's always a fair amount of drama in each image. Either in the pose or look of a subject, or in the way an object is placed in its context. Because of this, the mood of most photographs tends towards the the unnatural. The slightly surreal.

As for themes, reocurring concepts are distopian or apocalytic settings and emotions like loneliness, melancholy and romance. At a first glance things may look pretty gloomy, but there's always an undercurrent of humour to go along with it.

Most photographs have been taken with my battered old Hasselblad 500CM or slightly-less abused 503CX. For some reason I like their design and handling better than modern-day, digital equivalents. Though heavy to lug around and time-consuming to use, the Hasselblads gives me more pleasure than any other camera I've owned before. Along with the camera I use a small variety of lenses. My most favored one is a 50mm Distagon, wich has a subtle wide angle effect I've grown to love.
