Invitation
The landscape speaks in hushed tones. I have spent years learning to listen, translating its ancient silence into imagery. The offerings below are an invitation to bring these quiet, powerful moments into your own space. They are fragments of the northern wilds, captured to remind us of the wisdom hidden in the dark.
Tangible Artifacts | Silent Windows
These are more than ink on paper; they are windows to the mountains. Each piece is produced to museum-grade standards, carefully selected to capture the deep shadows and ethereal light that define the Själskog style.
Like a rare mineral pulled from the earth, these prints are solid, lasting fragments of a fleeting moment. They are designed to command attention in a room, offering a space for contemplation on your wall.
Creative Collaboration | Lend My Vision
You don't just need a photographer; you need someone who can see beneath the surface. My work is driven by a need to find meaning and narrative where others might only see empty space.
Whether for a brand that aligns with nature and sustainability, or a personal project requiring a darker, more emotive touch, I offer my disciplined eye to tell your story. We will work together to find the hidden wisdom in your concept.
The Golden Threshold
Location: Björkliden, Sweden (looking towards Lapporten)
Standing near the rushing waters of Silverfallet in Björkliden, the world seems to hold its breath. Before us lies Lapporten—the iconic 'Lapponian Gate'—a silhouette that has guided travellers and dreamers for millennia.
In this moment, the gate is framed by the fleeting fire of mountain birches in their autumn crest. The stream, cold and ancient, rushes to meet the stillness of the lake below, a perfect balance of eternal flow and sudden, vibrant change.
This image is a threshold. It is a reminder that even as seasons blaze and fade, the great gates of the landscape remain. Hang this in your space as an anchor—a permanent open door to the wisdom of the north

The Philosophy
To tell a story truly, one must first learn to listen to the silence around it.
My work is rooted in deep observation—finding the narrative thread that others might miss in the chaos of everyday life. I don't just document what is in front of me; I look for the underlying mood, the hidden connection, the 'why' behind the subject.
When we collaborate, I lend you this disciplined perspective. We work together to translate your ethos, project, or essence into imagery that feels as timeless and grounded as the northern landscape.
Aligned Narratives
For brands that tread lightly on the earth. We will move beyond simple product shots to create a visual identity that speaks of roots, ethics, and the wild. I will take your creation into the elements where it belongs, capturing not just how it looks, but how it feels to use it in the quiet places of the world.
The Human Landscape
We are as complex and varied as the terrain we walk upon. These are not standard portraits; they are atmospheric studies of character. We will find a location that resonates with your internal world, using natural light and shadow to capture an honest, unmasked version of who you are right now.
Sacred Spaces
Is there a specific mountain, a hidden stretch of forest, or a coastline that holds deep personal meaning for you? I accept a limited number of commissions to travel to these sacred spaces and capture them through the Själskog lens, creating a bespoke artefact that honours your connection to that place.
The Process
-
Phase I: The Dialogue. We begin not with a contract, but with a conversation. We explore your intent, your values, and the emotions we need to evoke.
-
Phase II: The Immersion. I enter the environment—be it the studio or the mountains—allowing time for the right light and the genuine moments to surface.
-
Phase III: The Reveal. You receive a curated gallery of fully graded, cinematic images, ready to tell your story to the world.
Extending the Narrative
Some stories demand a wider audience. Selected works from the archive are available for commercial, editorial, or digital licensing. If an existing image resonates with your project's ethos and you wish to weave it into your own tapestry, please inquire below for usage rights.
Initiate a Dialogue
A Note on Patience: To create, I often need to disconnect. I am frequently in the field, away from screens and digital noise, seeking the silence required for this work.
Please send your message below. I will reply when I have returned to a state of stillness.
