Describe your photography style in 3 words.

Minimal, White, Graphic

Picture this: You are driving down the side of the road and pull over to take a photo. What makes you stop?

Step aside sunset, I am looking for a lonely tree or a flock of birds.

What was the best piece of photo advice you were given when you were first starting out?

Bring your camera with you, no matter where you go.

One look at your feed and we become mesmerized by the color palette. Is this intentional or unintentional?

These are the colors of my every day — clothing, interior & architecture I gravitate towards. So for my photos, it is the same. I always look for white or grey backdrops with a colorful object or details.

What is in your photo toolkit?

Because I take a lot of self-portraits, I typically bring a tripod and a remote trigger with me. Other than that, I like to keep it light weight. For editing on the road, I use mainly Snapseed.

It looks like your lens takes you all over the globe. What´s your favorite place to date?

Finnish Lapland in winter. It was such a surreal experience and so different from anywhere I've traveled before.
