People across the world live vastly different lives. Yet we are universally connected by concepts like ‘family’. That is infinitely captivating.
Johnny Haglund was 14 when he fell in love with photography. He spent a lot of time in the woods and wanted to capture with images what he saw in nature. The mentality of a documentary photographer was present from the beginning.
Thinking it wasn’t possible to make a living as a photographer, Johnny became an engineer. An engineer, who kept taking photos. Only when his images started winning prizes did he realize that perhaps it could also be a profession.
He knew it would require a lot of hard work to become a professional photographer, but realising a dream was worth the effort. He started looking up places, people and adventures that other photographers might found too difficult, too uncomfortable or just too time-consuming to reach.
