Since 1992 I have been working as a photographer at the horse racing track Jägersro Trav & Galopp AB in Malmö, Sweden. I take the photographs when the horses come to the end of the race just at the split second when their nose break the final line. The images are used for the race referee to decide which horse has won and the horses thereafter. They are also used in newspapers, TV etc.
During the first 6 years I worked here these races were shoot with a specially constructed analogue Danish camera and used black and white film, enlarger, chemicals, developer, printing machine, minute timer, photographic paper etc. 1998 all that was changed to a digital colour camera and computers with special Omega racing software. The working process became both faster and Eco-friendly. It is a pleasure to sit high up in the referee tower and work. Each race is never the same and guaranteed a lot of action is always included.
