For me, nature and especially mountain landscapes have always been a special world. I have experienced some of my finest moments in the mountains. Both alone, but most often and most preferably in the company of my closest friends. People are drawn to the mountains, and this has been the case throughout time. In my photographs I want to explore this noble longing, by showing the silent and timeless beauty of the mountains.

The mountains can be merciless, we have all known that, those of us who travel among them. People have always had great respect for this steep, cold, inhospitable environment that can often be threatening and sometimes dangerous. Feelings such as fear, anxiety, loss and longing are a natural part of the conversation about the mountains. That is why I also want to convey the dark side of the mountains, because in the field of tension between beauty and darkness, the mountains meet us humans and reflect the complexity of our own lives.

My images are both documentary and impressionistic. On location I work documentary, but in post-production I use memories and experiences gathered through thousands of days in the mountains, as a filter through which the photography is created.
