Apart from assignments, I work with within a variety of photographic genres.

After a few years working with digital capture, I have again dedicated myself to film capture. To me digital capture technology lacks some of the things I like with film.

I use both modern & vintage cameras. In 35 i use Contax SLR/Contax G, Nikon F5 and the older (but still excellent) tools Yashica Electro GS and Kiev 4A. In medium format, Mamiya RZ67 Pro II has been a long time favourite, but I also use Yashica Mat 124G, Flexaret VI, Mamiya 6 (modern) and sometimes a Rollecord.

My newest addiction is photographing with large format field camerea. I have just bought a Shen Hao 4x5" wood field camera with a Fujinon (slightly) wide angle lens. After having borrowed a couple of large format cameras from friends, there was no way back. I have also aquired a Sinar P which I use way to little.

My Flickr-photos are captured with a variety of materials. My all time favourite is the (now discontinued) Agfapan APX 25. In colour negative, Fujicolor Reala 100 is a film I like to use. In colour slide, Fujichrome Astia 100F is the film I use the most. My Flickr photos are usually scanned directly from negative/slide with a Nikon Coolscan LS-9000 and edited in Photoshop on a Mac. Colour photos are converted to mono with a variety of techniques.

Except for this, I also have a darkroom for making prints from small/medium/large format negatives. Too sad, and due to lack of time, I do not use it too often. However, my Jobo ATL-1500 automatic developing machine is used regularly.

I live in Tromsø (northern Norway, about 70º north).
