Jag använder abstraktion för att uttrycka känslor och för att engagera mig i visuella och konceptuella komplexiteter. För mig ligger mycket av glädjen med fotografi i att avslöja dessa abstraktioner och möta utmaningen att porträttera dem genom kameran. Jag arbetar främst i färg. Detta urval av fotografier är tagna på olika platser runt om i Europa.

This selection of photographs where taken at various locations across Europe. —— / MALMÖ I FOKUS Foton finns överallt idag. Men får oftast mindre än en sekunds uppmärksamhet. Vi vill tillsammans med Folkets Park visa upp ett litet, litet, urval av alla bilder tagna av oss Malmöbor. Gammal som ung. Yrkesverksam fotograf så väl som grannen med sin mobil. Vi hoppas det inspirerar och får just dig att bli än mer nyfiken på fotografi! Mejl till arrangör: [email protected]

Hey! There’s one or two seats let for Saturday… YES, long overdue it’s finally time for a new Photo book session! 🤗 We’re welcoming you to Photo book session #11 with Jonas Dahlström! This one is extra special as it’s the book release of Jonas Dahlström’s new book “I’ll remember you”. Released on @kerberverlag Jonas and I (Christian) will talk about the book and the process behind making it. (Full disclosure- I had the pleasure to help Jonas make the book) About the book: I’ll Remember You by the Swedish photographer Jonas Dahlström is a poignant portrait of his father, who suffers from Alzheimerʼs. During his visits, Dahlström uses his fatherʼs camera to capture and preserve their moments together. Their shared passion for photography serves as a way of evoking the memories that remain—a link between the past and the present, between father and son. As his father sinks deeper into dementia, photography increasingly becomes a tool to help the author cope with the painful experience of witnessing his fatherʼs gradual decline. Through the camera lens, he confronts his fear of growing old and the eventual loss of his own memories. Limited number of seats - DM if you want to come! First come, first served. You need to wait for a confirmation that you got a seat. Date: Saturday 11 October, 2025 Time: 15:00 - ca 16:00, doors open at 14:45 Place: kran galleri & butik, Kockumsgatan 2, here in Malmö, Sweden.
