Gravity with Julie Gautier
There is a moment underwater where gravity feels optional.
Not gone, but rewritten.
Working with Julie is precise and effortless.
Every movement is intentional. Nothing wasted.
In that space, movement becomes both resistance and surrender.
Everything slows down. Every detail is exposed.
Between falling and floating,
a different kind of gravity.

I’ve been wanting to share these for a while.
But since they were entered into a competition, I had to wait.
Now I know they didn’t make the cut, so here they are.
Shallow water. Bait ball tightening. Chaos building.
Then suddenly…
A humpback surged through the herring shoal, so close I felt the pressure before I fully saw it. One second fish, the next, an entire ocean moving.
No time to think. Just react, hold your breath, and stay present while something far bigger takes over the scene.
This is why we go out there.

We went underwater to film a few scenes…
and created something we’ll never forget.
Some years ago, during the music video for her beautiful song Sister, we shot in open water on the west coast of Sweden. Cold, dark, and unforgiving.
Karin wasn’t comfortable going underwater. And the cold didn’t make it easier.
Still, she stayed, calm and present.
These images were planned—
but moments like this still can’t be forced.
Movement. Light. Silence.
Grateful we took the time to capture them 📸

I was asked if I could help Karin film a video for the song, and of course I said yes. Here is a shorten version of the song - SISTER-
The text was written during a time when a close family member was severely affected by illness, reflecting the difficulty of knowing what to say and instead expressing a quiet hope that she could hold on and keep moving forward.
Sister, I know that you’re dying
You don’t what to say, there’s just everything on your mind but silence
Breath, stay with me
Why do you pine away?
Sister, I know that I’m crying
I don’t know what to say
There’s just nothing on my mind, but silence
Breath, stay with me
Please don’t pine away
Sister, breath and stay right here with me
Why do you pine away from me?
Sister, breath and stay right here with me
Why do you pine away from me
On International Women’s Day, it feels like a fitting moment to celebrate strength, creativity, and the women who continue to inspire the world around us.
Some years ago I had the opportunity to create these images in the water while collaborating with the visionary designer Iris van Herpen.
This project was also a collaboration with the amazing choreographer and dancer Julie Gautier, Behind the Mask Production and Y-40 in Italy.
Her Carte Blanche collection explores the resilience and power of women, presenting the female body as a force reclaiming beauty, identity, and freedom.
Van Herpen is known for merging haute couture with science, technology, and nature, often creating garments that resemble organic structures flowing like waves, marine life, or fluid energy.
For this project we explored how the body, the fabric, and the ocean could move together as one, suspended between surface and depth.
Some of these images were later featured in Vogue and also displayed at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag in the Netherlands.
Happy Women’s Day 🧜🏼♀️

Borrowed light.
Winter doesn’t shout here.
It arrives softly and long.
In pale skies, distant mountains,
a moon that reflects more than it gives.
Moments like these feel temporary,
as if the light is only passing through,
reminding us how vast everything really is.

Prints available 📸
There’s something special about seeing an image leave the screen and become part of a space.
This piece now lives quietly on a wall — changing with the light, the room, and the moments around it.
A selection of my work is available as fine art prints, produced with the same care as when the image was created — meant to last, not just to scroll past.
You can see more work, available prints, and ongoing projects at

If one of the images speaks to you, it’s probably meant to live with you.

Each winter, the fjords of northern Norway come alive with life.
Millions of herring gather in tight schools — and the orcas follow.
They move through the cold, clear water as the Arctic light filters down —
soft, golden, and fleeting, turning every moment into something almost timeless.
These are the brief hours when the north truly glows beneath the surface.

Face-to-Face with Blue Sharks 🦈
Diving with blue sharks at the Condor Bank in the Azores is pure magic. Deep blue water, graceful predators gliding past, and that rush of being eye-to-eye with the wild. There’s nothing like it for photographers or ocean lovers. Ready to dive in?
