multiple exposure
I have finally released my first photo book! This book includes multiple exposures from various projects since 2010 and a 22-page long handbook in multiple exposure photography. This book is currently only printed in Swedish, but will also be available in English in the near future.

I am happy to announce that I will be exhibiting my follow-up on my We Are Nature series at the Nordic Institute on Åland. The exhibition will be open for the public between 15 of April until 29 of May.
Sadly the pandemic led to postponed and cancelations of a good portion of my commissioned projects. I went from being booked for a whole year to suddenly having all the time in the world—I was suddenly able to focus on my personal work. This project is the outcome.
“The finnish-swedish Photographer Christoffer Relander’s ”We Are Nature”-series blurs the line between the natural world and the human form to such a degree that it is impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. In doing so, he has not only produced a set of stunning visual images, but also a reminder of the very real universal truth that indeed everything is connected at the deepest of levels”. - NIPÅ
My “Inner Creatures“ artwork that was commissioned and created for Peter Vogelaar’s latest album Inner Creatures is now available in acrylic mounted limited editions.
The artwork is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive mounted between 5mm Dibond and 2mm acrylic glass. These are signed and numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity. Artworks are ready to hang as received, but a selection of frames is possible to choose from too.

I did not plan to finish this series yet. But as the global crisis caused by the Coronavirus, most of my commissioned works are either canceled or postponed. Especially the projects that require travel. I feel sorry for everyone affected.
In 2010 I began my journey experimenting with multiple exposure photography. During the years I have (well, others too) been asking myself sometimes, am I limiting my imagination when strictly sticking to this technique? Today, I am releasing my first personal project that was not created/blended in-camera. I decided to still bring inspiration from both the multiple exposure film algorithms (negative film) and some basic darkroom techniques, I suppose it is only natural to me to keep some limitations. The process has been different; not for the worse—Just different. I hope you enjoy!
I'm excited to share with you my latest personal project, Neonland. New series of images along with a behind the scenes video.
In this project, I wanted to leave my comfort zone and intentionally multiple expose the contrasting environments of Scandinavian nature and Hong Kong city. To explore two different environments on different sides of the globe, and blend them into a fictional and surreal world; a man-made “Neonscape”. Only by documenting my journey and presenting it in another time frame would make sense to convey my surrealistic vision.

Full project available here.
After finishing my first installment of Jarred & Displaced, I decided to start experimenting in color. The whole follow-up project is shot using Nikon D800E's multiple exposure feature, that is replicating the old multiple exposure algorithm.

I'm excited to announce that my latest double exposure project Jarred & Displaced has received good exposure internationally. I'm sorry to plague you with this cliché, but words cannot express how grateful I am. Really! Thank you all for your support; whether it's a kind email or a major publication.
This weekend I was featured in the Guardian, both online and in print in the Observer.
Jarred & Displaced was also recently featured in several major blogs and magazines, including The Creators Project - VICE, Colossal, Booooooom, PetaPixel, Behancé and Photoblog.hk.
I'm excited to announce a new personal project I've been working on for over a year. It's an ongoing project I'm planning to continue to experiment with. The process is both playful and challenging, I see it as part of the artworks therefor I wanted to document it to share with you guys. Below is the video I made in collaboration with Anders Lönnfeldt.
