About Klas

”My highest wish is to grow gills - then I dont have to carry all that dive equipment."

Klas is a marinebiologist who rather stay in the marine element learning how to get close to the animals. The more time he spend in the water the more lucky he seems to get and succeed in getting the pictures he want. Klas have two favorite groups of marine animals. It is the sharks that always has been fascinating to interact with and the brightly colored nudibranches that Klas find to be the most beautiful creatures in the sea.

In his daily work Klas use his own pictures in lectures and presentations to give the audience proof of what you can find in the ocean and to be able to show real life situations. It is easier to get interest from people that way. Klas published a book about Swedish marine life and one about nudibranchs.
