Photography

I started to taking photos with a compact digital camera as 13 years old, later I borrowed my mother's anologue SLR and experimented with taking more artistic photos.
When I was 17 I went to Uruguay as an exchange student, during 11 months with my hostfamily I took over thousands of photos to document the experience and when I came home I changed orientation from socialsience-culture to mediaproduction. Since autumn -08 I´ve been studying mainly photography but also journalism and film at Mediagymnasiet in Nacka Strand, Stockholm.
Last year I bought a Canon EOS 1000D and started to take more professional photos in my spare time. In October 2009 I went back to Uruguay for 3 months to do my traineeship with a photographer in Montevideo. Before the trip I bought a new lense - Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - which secured my success with the pictures I took with the Association S.E.R. during my practice at a hospital in Montevideo (The Association S.E.R. is a group of volunteers/amateur clowns who work by the philosophy of Patch Adams - to heel with laughter).

I´ll graduate the 2nd of June 2010 and a few days after that I'll go inter railing, equipped with a simple anologue SLR camera - I'll be on the railroad for at least a month, maybe longer if I'll find work on the way, and will be documenting my trip in the old-fashion way. After that I'll see where the lens leads me...
