DX//PLORER
A Visual Laboratory
for Photography, Travel & Design
A place where images, ideas and visual experiments take shape.
What is DX//PLORER
DX//PLORER is my visual laboratory — where photography, design, and books intersect. It's an ongoing creative experiment driven by curiosity rather than deadlines.
Some ideas become magazines. Others remain visual studies. What matters is the process of exploration itself.
Photography
as a constant
Photography has been with me since childhood — a constant companion and a way of seeing. Through it I learned to look closely and to appreciate good design.
I shoot what surrounds me: birds in my neighborhood, moments of daily life, and scenes that might ordinarily go unnoticed. At the same time, my fascination lies with landscapes — coastlines, mountains and wide horizons — and with cityscapes formed from glass, concrete and geometry.
Whether natural or urban, these places invite me to linger, observe and explore. My Nikon cameras are familiar tools in this process — chosen not out of habit, but because they help me see the world in my rhythm. Many of these journeys take place in the quiet hours between destinations, often from the seat of an old Volvo.
From images to objects
For years, I experimented with layouts and design ideas — rarely finishing anything.
That changed with my first book project.
Photography, design, and storytelling finally came together. Creating a book from my own images meant shaping something I would want to own myself.
These early books were personal gifts, but I treated them like products: carefully designed, deliberately sequenced, complete objects rather than image collections.
This marked a shift. Photography became a foundation for objects shaped by design and intention. Experimentation expanded beyond images alone.

Magazin
Why magazines
The idea of creating books returned again and again. Eventually, that thinking evolved into magazines — independent, rooted in travel and observation.
Today, printing on demand is technically simple. What matters is intention, rhythm, and visual care. The DX//PLORER magazine is a journey shaped by photography, layout, and narrative flow.
It's an evolving project. Feedback shapes its direction.
DX//PLORER exists because I wanted a place that explores.
DX//PLORER didn't appear overnight. For years, I experimented with covers, layouts, and websites. Some gained traction, others quietly disappeared.
Eventually, I wanted a place that remains — a home for ideas and visual projects that don't compete for attention. A quiet space for creative research and ongoing experiments.
Today, a domain is part of having a home.
A space to explore
DX//PLORER brings together everything I enjoy creating: photography, books, magazines, visual experiments.
It's a space for rainy Sundays, long drives, and slow observation — working not toward goals, but toward clarity.
What comes next remains open. Exploration has no fixed destination.
Curiosity does not stop at photography alone.
Beyond personal projects, I explore how images translate into commercial contexts. Using my own photographs, I create speculative campaigns for real brands — experiments in visual language and brand aesthetics.
These aren't commissions. They're creative research without constraints.
I approach this work with nerdy attention to detail, a longtime love for Nikon cameras, and curiosity about how images function beyond the frame.
