My name is Magnus and I live in Massachusetts, USA.

I am a nationally exhibited fine-art photographer. My background in science shows through in my photography: I am attracted to abstract concepts and elegant forms. In my quest to evoke an emotional response, I photograph people (often nude, and sometimes with a touch of wit) and cities (chasing lightbeams and elusive figures amongst tall buildings).
