The Swedish winter months are dark, cold, and can be challenging for photography. This day was no different, with temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius and strong winds. But in these harsh and unforgiving conditions, the European Dipper thrives. Hunting for food in a small patch of open water, in the otherwise frozen river, it shows off its beauty in the backlight of the setting winter sun.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
