About

My name is Simon, I’m a Swedish assignment photographer based in Uppsala. I mainly provide imagery and writing for the NGO community with a specialisation in humanitarian photography. My work therefore revolves around documenting fieldwork in developing countries and is used in articles, humanitarian aid campaigns and related marketing endeavours.

I studied photography at the Graphic Education Centre in Uppsala year 2000. I also hold a MSc in Political Science, a BSc in Political science and a BA in Practical philosophy—all degrees from Uppsala university and the latter from the program Cultural and Social Analysis. Relatedly, my thesis in political science won the yearly best bachelor thesis award at the Department of Government. Currently, I work as a statistician at the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

Before transitioning to photography I worked within human resources as president of a local trade union club. Simultaneously, I also held various commissions of trust at both LO (the Swedish trade union confederation) and IF Metall. Beside my profession, I’m a father of three and an award winning guitarist.
