The photographer was 27 when he met Svanborg (19). Since then, he has taken about 5,000 photos of her, capturing all possible moments. Photos for his own album, not for others to see. But what does Petter do? He keeps photographing her, both outside and at home, in the many tents, in the bath, on the toilet, or in the ditch, in all states and positions, also before, during, and after. The act of making love, then, with her, with girlfriends, with himself. And so, there are 160 'uncensored snapshots' in this book. Not of a slut or a model, but of his wife, in all the intimacy of their life together. But, he says in a short interview, this book is a tribute to her. And she, still willing, thanks him on the last page. An extremely candid photo book, in which the viewer recognizes themselves as the bold voyeur into the (sometimes bold) intimacy of two lovers.
