Education

Practical film I and II.
My base in cinematic storytelling.
2013-2016 Norwegian national film school.
Bachelor in fine arts, as cinematographer.
I am a cinematographer based in Gothenburg, but working in both Sweden and Norway. This summer I wrapped my first feature Explosions in the heart, directed by Yenni Lee for Oslo Pictures. After graduating from the National film school of Norway in 2016, I have also done a number of shorts, art films, dance films, and a lot more. My interest lies mostly in fiction, especially drama and human interaction. And I totally love to transform the script into feeling and mood! I like to step into the unknown, to be part of the project from the very start, or do things I have never done before. Always stretching myself to try to understand how a story should be put into pictures.
