Our memories are often based on visual impressions over a longer time period. A single photograph cannot convey how the sun paints a scene over time, without blurring moving elements in the scene. To overcome this limitation and to be able to portray the symphony of lights I witnessed over time, I decided to capture hundreds of image files. I then spent several weeks in post carefully painting in the desired elements from each frame, to recreate the visual magic I had experienced.

• Biography
  My vision is to travel the globe on an eternal quest to capture unique moments in time, by creating imagery of our magnificent and fragile planet. Capturing the raw beauty and living energy of Mother Nature with all her natural wonders and beautiful creatures is my inspiration and what I live and crave for. Through the imagery I create I try to reach out to touch the heart and soul of my audience and to open their mind and awareness for the enchanting beauty of the natural wonders in the world that we live in. I welcome you to take part of my journey through the images I create.
