Archive : Skillebyholm.

For ten years ago, as I was a student at the College of Biodynamic Gardening at Skillebyholm (Järna), I photographed the daily activity at the school during four month, between January 9th to April 30th, 2012.

I took a picture by day, with a Polaroid 190 land camera, loaded with black and white film. The daily life at the school has been depicted in snow, cold and wind (in the longing for summer, light and heat).

I made a book in November 2012 which include 31 photographs (46 pages, format 20 x 25 cm).

The book is dedicated to Peter Ivar Nilsson, and is still available here.

Höganäs Summer Book Festival 2021.

I participated during two days (17-18 September) at the Book Festival which took place in Höganäs (south of Sweden) in the new restored event and exhibition hall Blå Hallen.

I could present the six photo books I published and also exhibit a few portraits of writers. Thanks to the Höganäs Book Festival team for giving me the opportunity to take part of the festival !

To photograph writers.
