From my part of Sweden, Skåne. By far my favorite of the following five, totaling at six. The gradients, shadings, and how they interplay to create the three dimensional aspects of this otherwise flat image…

When I was in design school, we had an assignment with the task to replicate a vintage travel poster. Amidst the school stress, I accidentally misunderstood the assignment and made six posters instead of one. I'm happy I misunderstood, for more reasons than one.
I am happy because all are great.
I got to know that I can produce high quality design work in a short amount of time.
I aced the class.
Alaska. Love the towering ice bergs. The colors creating the depth and scale dwarfing the ship… Highly doubt we would see such ice in today’s climate.

La Paz. I love the calm and serenity in this one. And her olive colored skin, light shadowing, and the adobe/pueblo style house vibe the window and tones bring. Added texture to the background here and that of natural paper.

Japan. A dream destination and I was so lucky that the blend modes played along with the colors chosen, making this one completely identical color wise. Added texture to the background here as well. Also natural paper texture.

Roma. Here is another natural texture added to the gray background. I love the gradient and how it brings form and softness to the ship.

Deutche Bahn. Travel by rail in Germany. Simple and blocky. Plus, I always loved riding trains in Germany, save the type that were spewing diesel…

Winning design for a new contemporary LP player. The design of the logotype interplays with the minimalist and contemporary design of the player, and the quality sound of the sound system. Fine lines — Round Sound. Circular, linear, and well designed.
Hypothetic book cover for an Illustrator course.

Typographic booklet and poster project with Herb Lubalin and his wonderful geometric typeface Avant Garde. I utilized my own photography for every page, and for the poster, pictured last.
Page one includes a photoshop-manipulated image of brutalist buildings taken by myself at the University of New Mexico’s campus, and Avant Garde hanging by the rooftop. The black lines lead you through each page. A theme if you will.
A little side note —Here I decided to place the R of Garde inside the bowel of the D — A play with Herb’s ligatures.
Tremendous thanks to Chris Ashworth for loaning me his Herb Lubalin book for this project.
Page two in the booklet series. The image for this page was taken down close to the Railyard area in Albuquerque. The red grid over the window, the blue/gray walls, the wild, overgrown desert vegetation, and finally the parking stops created a scene perfectly suited for the extended lines on Herb Lubalin name, and manipulated Avant Garde typeface.
Page three contains more body text and anecdotes on Herb. I placed an image of mine from an earlier photo shoot, to aid in the continuation of lines that are feeding in and out of every page in the booklet.
Page four in the booklet series. I fell in love with this concrete silo scene down at the University of New Mexico’s campus. The blend of flat and textured grays, the pale yellow silo, and the adobe mud colored wall in the foreground combined with delicate lines paved way for this image to be involved in the project.
Page five, or rather, the final poster. I used the same image as I did for the cover/page one. A photoshop-manipulated shot I snapped of a brutalist building scene down at the University of New Mexico’s campus. This time I added a justified and delicate quote about Herb from a book I used during my design project: “Herb Lubalin: Art Director, Graphic Designer, and Typographer” from January 1985, authored by Gertrude Snyder and Alan Peckolick — Highly recommended reading.

”The Orb Series” is an ongoing environmental project of mine and includes the following 7 orb images tied to the text below…
… And it’s the evaporating water off the streets that turns to smoke towards the draining monsoon skies. My legs are heavy bearing the extra weight of thousands upon thousands of thoughts in my head, weight like lead. To be semi-weightless surrounded by currents and rapids while clinging to a river rock, tired legs swivel in the stream… Inhales and exhales not totally autonomous as I need to send memos every now and then as to remind. The parading lines of dust devils, 2, 4, 6 in a row as if designed or coordinated by someone or something… A relief to see Mother Nature acting out, dancing as if nobody is watching… To return to self through sweat, and observe the soft, warm, darkness, balmy in its density, thick and isolating in both sound and sensation… Like closing a door to a loud party — Muffled… As the echoing of steps click-clock, fade in the distance...

Back in January 2023, I was hired by the art director of Franciscan Media to give a different view to the traditional shots otherwise taken in this setting. They wanted a more contemporary view of Franciscan statues and motifs in and outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico for the 2023 April print and online issues of their magazine the St. Anthony Messenger.

My minimal landscape photography is inspired by the scenery that gives me the breathtaking, deep inhale, releasing moments. The sighs of awe, the sighs of relief, the sighs of space, the natural beauty around that becomes minimalist in the greatness and grandness of our planet. The unexplainable, magical feelings of connection, a sense of belonging. That instant relief of being on the road and experiencing, being on a hike and experiencing, traveling by any means through the vastness of our country, or elsewhere, and experiencing... You see openness, grandness, bold, or matted tones, or both together in stark contrasts to each other. Single isolate, or masses surrounded by void. Just passing by, or hours spent. All are equally, yet differently appreciated.
The outer worldly, young, volcanic terrain is so breathtaking, that you forget yourself. First the seemingly barren lands seem unforgiving. But as you are drawn in, you pass through different portals. You enter other times, other worlds, other dimensions, and you get the feeling, that we, as humans, are not only small, but completely unknowing of the treasure, and magic, our planet holds. The colors and patterns hypnotize you. You leave a different person.
Tsi’ya (Zia) Land, New Mexico, 2020
A certain sense of belonging. As if my cells recognize the minerals in the soil, and say, hey, we’re from the same place! There is so much to see here, and if you're like me you look at ever single rock, every plant, every union between earth, and sky.

I don’t take much minimal nature shots these days, but when I do, I get reminded of how hard, and fun it is. I got on these lands at the end of April 2020, so the shots from here are pretty new. The area is a very young, volcanic, area, where different minerals have given color to the hills. This one being the first I tracked down. The picture doesn’t give justice to the scale. The difference between the highest point on the shot, to the bottom, where you see the trail transverse through the middle flatlands below, is about 738 ft... New Mexico is exciting, and very grand!

A young volcanic area, with painted hills, and a feeling of going back in time. Back to a time before us humans spawned, swarmed, and destroyed the globe…

In the Pueblo Revolts of 1680, the Zia Pueblo suffered disastrous losses to the Spanish colonials, where 600 of the pueblo’s people were killed, and additional conflicts lasting for years, reduced the population further. Today another conflict continues. Where the United States government has achieved rights-of-way, and allowed a private company to mine the mesa for Gypsum, a white mineral that is used for cement, plaster, and fertilizer, and as a little pacifier bribe, they provide recreation to the public.

Sigh… The painted hills… The area is a very young, volcanic, area, where different minerals have given color to the hills. The picture doesn’t give justice to the scale. The difference between the highest point on the shot, to the bottom, is about 720 ft... New Mexico is so stunning in its versatility! Volcanic, to desert, to prairie, to alpine. So incredible.

Slowly I descend into the Vally below. 2011 there was a human caused fire there, so that has probably not aided the recovery of this part of the forest. In spite of this, there is something there... It feels sacred, almost elven like, but also sad. Like the dying of a habitat where something/someone once existed, and now, they are singing their goodbyes. The trees whisper, and bark scratches, branches squeak, and stems grind. I stop and smell the air. It’s dry. Some hint of sawdust, pine, and earth. I continue down +40% degree incline… Thighs burn, and I descend. A rumble of thunder gives hope.
