In this video, I share how I shifted my creative focus to explore new possibilities within abstract photography. After years in big productions with increasing dependence on circumstance and personnel, I longed for simplicity in the work process. I found this in my new and intuitive way to be creative with the camera – Jazz with a Camera!
I always felt that there is a kind of elegance that emerges when cars are photographed in isolation, unaccompanied by human presence. It is this elegance, and mystery that I seek to emulate with the light sculptures I have created by placing LED lights along the signature lines of iconic cars.

This Is My Church
I am fascinated with Surf Culture. Although there is a competitive element to surfing, my focus is on the soul in surfing. The meditative aspect: the escape, a surreal feeling of joy, and an opportunity to become “one with nature”.
Poolside
Poolside – A hommage to the West Coast lifestyle in the ’60s…an idyllic world of leisure, bright light, and utopian spaces in which it seems it will be afternoon forever, everybody will be beautiful and nobody will need to work.
Strawberry Fields
In the Nineties, in pre-digital times, I was experimenting with infrared film. One of the few possibilities to create surreal images in-camera, as photoshop was not yet on the horizon.
Magic Carpets
The images in the series Magic Carpets originate from a light sculpture I create by placing LED strips along the signature lines of iconic cars to generate these mysterious, transparent repetitions, which then as a whole create a new, phantom-like car- built of light.
Marshmallow Beach
This image is from the series Big Skies, which is an ongoing series of seascapes focusing on the sea and its horizon as a motif.
Castles In The Sky
Dubai – Before visiting the city Fata Morgana came to mind, a term that denotes the most complex kind of mirages, which appear over the horizon.
SCREAM!!
When it is all getting a bit much – In this series I take a look at people cracking under pressure
Epicenters
Nowhere else does the saga of the American Dream manifest itself to the extent that it does in the casinos of Las Vegas.
The Pursuit Of Happiness
The will to pursuit one’s individual happiness is the driving force behind many of our actions. But when ambition and reality clash the outcome is often not the desired one.
Metamorphosis
A view at Shanghai’s spectacular Pudong skyline as it transforms through twilight.
Madison Square Garden
Nocturnal aerial views of the city that never sleeps – Manhattan landmarks at night.
Trouble In Paradise
The recently completed series of images Trouble in Paradise allures the observer through its idyllic imagery, captures his interest but only to turn him into a witness of human failure.
Teahupoo
Teahupoo on the island of Tahiti is known for its famous glassy reef break wave, which is probably the most renowned wave in the world.
Bismarck Strait
These images are the result of a trip I made to capture a range of seascapes depicting the enigmatic Antarctic Peninsula.
Celebrities
During my career, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of celebrities. Almost without exception, these were very delightful and memorable encounters.
The images in the series Phantom Cars originate from a light sculpture I create by placing LED strips along the signature lines of iconic cars. Cars like the Lamborghini Miura epitomized the glamour and excitement of the Swinging Sixties. They were the cars of choice for the international jet set, movie and rock stars alike, and the stuff of dreams for a generation.
Twilight
A view on New York’s famous Downtown Manhattan Skyline as it transitions from daylight through twilight and into the night.
In the series ‘Me, Myself & I’, I explore the more private and quiet spaces where people enjoy the freedom to slip into other, uncontrolled identities, or hidden facets of their personalities that do not conform to the social norms of society.
New York In Minor
Last summer, I decided to revisit the iconic sites of New York to capture these scenes in a new, unseen way. I set out on an overcast morning and photographed this series throughout the course of the day.
