The story of Magnus
In 1990, at the age of 13 years old, Magnus started his great interest for taking pictures and making photographs that encouraged both the viewer and himself. At that time digital cameras were not born, so to be fortunate to have his own darkroom to create black and white images gave huge motivation. From the age of 16 he started as a weekend photographer in the local newspaper where both general journalism and sports were covered. Later, after finishing University and his Master of Science degree, landscape photography has been his spare time enthusiasm and inspiration.
Now, his passion for the slow image making process and high quality imagery have resulted in wonderful editions prints and competition results. His believe that image quality is more important that quantity has given him different project opportunities and clients of his prints. The feeling you get when someone like to decorate with your art prints is rewarding, he explains.
Magnus will keep on working at the same methodology to secure his desire for creating high quality images of the landscapes around us.
