His father, first a news photographer and then an artist, Bjorn felt himself more capable as a photographer and took up the camera at 15. He planned on being a travel photographer but put it aside for years. It wasn't until he posed for Fred Bissones that he took it up again felling most comfortable photographing people with Fred's encouragement.

He had moved to Brazil and was photographing men there and sending his work into Mandate. There the editor complained about too many Latin models but the readers ended overriding him.

Bjorn said that in Brazil 99% of his performers identified as straight but in Brazil being homosexual means getting fucked. Topping is not considered gay. While it was hard to get models to bottom it was easy to promise them that the videos would never be distributed in Brazil.

It was Fred Bissones, again, who got Bjorn into video by inviting him to contribute to Advocate Men Live. Then distributors asked him for his own content so he did the solo video Tropical Heatwave. Bjorn worked on set by himself with the models and each scene was shot over about three days. He used his own performance experiences when working out how to produce his own videos.
