Here is a couple of images from my book "Stable girls". From 6th of May 2006 to 3rd of September my work will be on Arbetets museum in Norrköping, Sweden. 

In my book there will be 38 images.

Stable girls is something pretty uniqe for Sweden. Riding is our second biggest sport and totally dominated by women.

Riding schools all over the country is sort of pseudo-worlds where the girls get respect for being fysically strong, committed and mentally rough. They get responsibility and are taken seriously.

Even if Sweden is a some what equal-minded country, the image of girls taken from a frog-perspective is very unusuall.



Except from this book and big exhibition I also freelance as a photojournalist. My clients are daily- and evening news and magazines.

In my every day work you can see that I emphasis on lights and coulurs.



I am going to continue to show the image of strong and independent women over the world. 

I want the reader to relate to my images, no matter what background the person has .
