How do you consistently come up with a lot of good ideas for content?

A good idea is, without a doubt, the most important factor when it comes to creating good content. 

I think idea generation is like training a muscle: the more you do it, the better you'll become. 

One of the biggest game-changers for me was carving out time specifically dedicated to brainstorming content ideas.

1-2 times a week, I spend an hour or two writing down new video ideas. 

I can't emphasize enough how much of a difference this makes.

In the next issue of my free weekly newsletter I’m giving you guys my systems on how I never run out of ideas and how I consistently create a lot of content 👇🏻

1-4? 🤔 In April a big snowstorm hit Stockholm. I was working on a deadline so I wasn’t sure if I should go out and photograph.

I ended up just doing it and managed to capture lots of good photos. These are some of my favourites, which one is yours?

I’ve always loved it when the weather is nuts. There’s something so beautiful about the apocalyptic vibes. Plus the photos always turn out magical. 

I filmed everything, click here if you want to see the full video - it’s epic 👀👇🏻

Understanding how to use light and color to your advantage is a much cheaper, easier and better way to level up your video quality, then buying a new expensive camera.

Plus you don’t need any crazy lights that cost a lot.

I still use entry level lighting equipment that I bought when I started out almost 10 years ago. 

The key is how you use them. 

I’ve spent the past few months putting together everything I know about building and lighting a proper studio for us content creators.

Now, I’ve turned this decade of knowledge into an actionable, step-by-step course that you can easily follow to create your own perfect social media space.

Only 10 hours left until the price goes up 👇🏻🚀

My studio setups used to suck so badly, honestly I had no idea what I was doing 😂.

Over the last decade I've built more studios then I can count and come to realize that a good looking setup is a key to success on social media.

A well-set-up studio instantly levels up the professionalism of your videos, leading to more serious engagement from viewers and, ultimately, more views 👀.

It’s also a fantastic opportunity to set yourself apart from the countless other content creators out there.

This is one of my favourite vintage lenses and it’s an 50-year-old vintage lens from the Soviet Union.

IMO it’s almost a must-have lens because of its unique look and the cool swirly blur it makes in photos. 

It uses an M42 screw mount, so you can fit it on different cameras, but remember, you have to adjust the focus and settings by hand - old school.

It's a great deal too, not too expensive and really popular for those who like to get creative with their photography. 

And yes, if you haven’t guessed it by now then I'm of course talking about the classic Helios 44-2 👌🏻.

Winter + Iceland? Yea please! 💙 BTW what drone do you think I used for these shots? 🤔

I often get the question what season I visit Iceland in? Summer or winter?

Honestly it’s such a stark contrast. Summer are green with endless sunlight (24hrs daylight) while the winters are dark and frozen with only approx 4-5 hrs of daylight. 

There’s something magical about both and if you can I’d say try to experience both in your lifetime, that’s my answer.

Ok enjoy your day folks!
