About

Christer Strmholm is recognised as one of the major figures of 20th century European photography. Strmholm captured his surroundings in black-and-white images that display his integrity, understated humour and a highly personal aesthetic. With an unmistakable sensitivity to human suffering, based on his personal experience, he took photography in a new direction. Sean O’Hagan, writing in The Guardian, has described him“as the father of Swedish photography both for his abiding influence and for his role as a teacher.”
