Anders Alm

Title: Photographer

Anders Alm has been photographing for over thirty years. He became the guy with the camera already as a 12 year old, when he got his first folding camera back home in Kiruna. Since then he performs a wide range of commissions mainly in Norrbotten, Sweden. He’s a freelance photographer with a special liking for realism who has produced a number of books and exhibitions over the years.

Anders says: The magical moments when everything corresponds; lighting, occasion, body language linked to totality in the image. These fractions of a second when time stands still are what a photographer always pursues. These are moments that he wants to relive again and again.
