In 2009 only at age 24 he released he´s first book, Adrenalin, a collection of he´s best actionsport pictures during the last years, with profiles like Jon Olsson and Lisa Miskovsky telling their stories.
Adrenalin is also represented at Fotografiska, Europe's largest gathering point for photography, together with profiles like Annie Leibovitz, Albert Watson and Lennart Nilsson.

During my career I have been working mainly with actionsports, both summer and winter. Skiing and downhill biking is what have been my main targets in front of my camera. During later years I have more and more discovered portraits and lifestyle pictures, which is now where I put my focus.

I’m very proud to have been able to have fun and doing what I love, and at the same time building a career out of it. To be able to travel around the world with my friends and my camera, from France to Japan, Indonesia to Ireland, Sweden to Amsterdam and many more.
