I’ve been traveling since I was an exchange student in Australia as a teenager, which was also about the same time I bought my first proper camera. Not long after I took up flyfishing. These days I strive to combine my three passion; traveling, photography and fly fishing. I’ve been lucky to fish and photograph a range of beautiful destinations varying from Scandinavia to far-flung destinations in the Caribbean and beyond.

I love to capture that perfect moment or detail, be it a certain feel, the way the light hits a landscape, the joy of an angler when he lands the fish of lifetime or simply a colorful fin. Using my camera, I notice things that you might otherwise miss. Photography has become as big a passion for me as flyfishing itself – I like how you never stop learning.





Recently, I’ve started taking advantage of the newest generation DSLR’s ability to shoot very high quality video. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities that I’ve thrown myself into. An exciting film project in a destination far off the beaten track is in the works, so watch this space!
