Born in Singapore in the early fifties, art was presented to me natually through my parents collection of Chinese art. A Kodak Brownie camera was my first experience with still photography in the mid-fifties.

The early influence in visual art was an important factor in my choice to become a professional photographer.

During a visit to Sweden in the early seventies, I decided to settle in this beautiful nordic land. I had my former education in both cinematographic and still photography in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

The first years were spent working as an assistant cinematographer with advertising companies before moving on to the Swedish Film Institute as a production technician for the country`s feature film industry.

After fourteen years at this institution, it was time to move on and started in 1992, my own company "Images of light".

Almost a decade as an independent images maker, my assignments have brought me to several countries in the far east and south east asia. for international companies and represented by a picture agency, International Magazine Service ( IMS ) in Sweden. On the home front, amonst others, my clients have been The Swedish National Heritage Board and National Property Board whose responsibilities for all historical buildings and sites in this country where I have contributed photographic documention throughout the country.

These pictures on this site are taken with a Linhof 6 x 17 cm Panorama camera and I feel as comfortable working with other medium formet from 6 x 4,5 cm to the 8" x 10" (approv. 18 x 24 cm).

Beside my work, I find it relaxing to paint in oil, listen to classical music and play Bach`s cello suite with the flute. A second exhibition with both photography and painting will be held shortly.

Thank you for showing your interest and I hope you have enjoyed browsing through. Thank you.
