BIO
Growing up in the small harbor town of Västervik in Southern Sweden, Bjorn took an interest in photography from a very early age, but actually started his studies in engineering realizing quite quickly that photography was his true passion. In order to pursue photography, he moved to Oslo, Norway to assist photographers like Knut Bry, among others. After three years in Oslo, he made the decision to try his hand in New York. He began assisting Brigitte Lacombe, a relationship that would last for many years. He also worked with Albert Watson and Frederick Lieberath.
While assisting, Björn was always working on his own projects, eventually developing his talent and style in the two areas he enjoys the most, portraits and interiors.
Over the last ten years, Björn has contributed to publications including Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Harper's Bazaar, WSJ Magazine, Vogue Brazil, Casa Vogue, Man Of The World, Departures, Veranda, Martha Stewart, Oprah, House Beautiful, New York Magazine, Flaunt, Dwell, and Real Simple. He has also shot for Ralph Lauren, American Express, Tribeca Film Festival, Thompson Hotels, Shelborne Hotel, Wedgwood, Infiniti and Pottery Barn.
Björn resides in NYC. When he's not shooting, he's either biking or sailing somewhere beautiful, camera in hand.
