From early age I have been interested in photography. But not serously getting involved until ten years ago or so.
Now I am absolutely hooked.
People are my favorite genre. Portraits especially. I also like shooting candid on the street.
I´m not so much into flowers. Nor sunsets.
Thank you for taking time to look at my work. Flickr is quite amazing society!

"Gunnar will deliver. He doesn't fool around. His images are always visually entertaining and I do envy him. Makes me want to pull the eyes and brains out of him (and use them for myself, of course).
Brilliant photographer and I am happy to have known him online for quite some time now.
All the best."19th April, 2009

"Gunnar's portrait work is so inspiring. Every face seems to tell a story and the use of B&W adds authenticity and character to each image. I am always in awe at how he manages to produce such flawless and impressive work time after time. I have a lot to learn.
Congratulations on a wonderful body of work.

"An inspiration is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Gunnar and his work behind the camera. He knows how to bring out what to me seems to be the very truest essence in a person whether he is in Nicaragua or Africa. It is my goal to be able to take portraits nearly as well as Gunnar. Until then I will continue to learn from him daily."

"I just went trough Gunnar’s entire photostream and what a pleasure it was! I stumbled on his photos by a change and they made me so happy. Gunnar has a uniqe talent for portrait photography. His photos reveal a huge respect and love, he has for his subjects. He also has a beautiful artistic eye for color and composition. So he makes beautiful non’people photos too. He embraces the moment with love of people, love of live and his sencitiv eye. I will be the first persone to buy his first photographic book!"

"I love Gunnar's work and style.
Love his portraits and the people moments he captures, filled with life, with emotions.
Also his b&w processing is awesome.
If you like people and b&w - like I do - you must follow his work.
Keep going on, we love it all the way.

"Gunnar definitely has the best collection of African portraits on Flickr. If you love Africa, his photo stream is a MUST! With his camera he managed to capture the essence of this wild and beautiful continent so well: love & anger, joy & sadness, curiosity & shyness, solicitude & abandon, hard work & pleasure, defiance & meekness, worry & patience, you name it! Oh, if these photos could just speak… A sincere BRAVO, Gunnar! (c: Kate (Hungary)"
