Nordic photographers

To learn more on what is possible with photography I have visited a few different venues to learn the names and works of some established photographers. I have by no means enough experience to really have a strong opinion but below are some of those that I find really interesting for one reason or other. One of these days I need to dive deeper into the whole history of the thing...

Morten Krogvold



Norwegian Black and White photographer, winner of several awards. Saw him first on the annual photography fair, the photo of Nelson Mandela is just stunning, as well as the Italy series. (Note: I got the portfolio pages to work in IE, other browsers may only see the first image)



Sandra Freij



Swedish fashion photographer with very vivid and dreamy photos. A lot going on, and those shots are really beautiful up close



Mikael Jansson



Just bought his "Speed of life" book, covering Formula one racing in a new way. A Swedish fashion photographer with some seriously heavy merits.


Will try to find more as a I go. As I was searching for links to this I also found this site: 500 Photographers by Pieter Wisse containing a wealth of links and images. Will dive in once I have more time :)
