"It was my interest in music who led me to photography but of course also film, literature and other art and stuff around you influence you. When I started shooting in 1980 it was of local punk bands and it has been a lot of them since then. I almost donʼt shoot bands anymore but I worked close with the Norwegian deathpunk band Turbonegro from 1990- 1998, a great band and great to shoot. My next book is entirely dedicated to them, 315 pictures, 512 pages."
