How come you chose to take photographs at this part of the archipelago?

It all began when I was requested to take som pictures for a Hotel located at Landsort named Lotstornet. I had no expectations or ideas about what I wanted to shoot and my first thought was that i wanted to make som kind of collage. 
When I arrived it all changed, I became interested to capture the amazing contrast between the human history and the nature of the island.
Landsort has been an important military base during the cold war 1947 – 1991. With (Batteri Landsort) and most of all it has Sweden's oldest lighthouse from year 1660. The nature is ruff and the wind never stops blowing. 

I have always been against war and being out there got me thinking about the worlds current situation, it brought up sad emotions regarding people's fear of other nationalities and cultures. 
The Island is now very safe and peaceful, but the history behind it is in some way deep down a very sad and frightening story of war. Despite all my emotions regarding the history I was left speechless by Mother Nature's power which is fully shown in all directions of this beautiful Island. My new goal became illustrating the mixture of these feelings with my photography.

South By Southeast is described by the photographer with these words.

”The strong cold wind never stop blowing and the sound from aggressive waves keeps reminding you that we only are on this planet for such a short period of time.
The dramatic nature, the lonesome lighthouse and the retired cannons are telling  stories of fear and defence. 
A threatening and controlled island that has changed in to a Swedish midsummer dream that won't let go of it's dark past.
The sky is asking if there will be a brighter future or if we are still doing the same mistakes as generations before.
The sea is a border that ends in the horizon, a grave for sailors and pilots that Mother Nature has swallowed recklessly.”
– Johan Tunebjer 

The pictures will be shown for a few days at the pop-up exhibition located at Regeringsgatan 61, central Stockholm.
