Work with Martin if you need compelling images! We collaborated on the campaign 72 hour in Nature for Visit Sweden, where Martin and the team from IVAR Studios photographed several unique close to nature stays across Sweden – all with their own characteristics. Martin adapted well to our image tonality and together we could tell a visually compelling story that ticked all the boxes of our initial brief. Highly recommended!

Working with outdoor imaging often involves complicated logistics of bringing lots of technical equipment to the capture location. Martin’s work with expedition photography, immersive video and camera trapping all over Sweden has had him develop the necessary skillset to accommodate projects from clients that want to capture things in the Nordics that’s well off the beaten track.

He has also helped several projects as the head photographer in Sweden doing both location scouting and behind the scenes work.

Workflow and photography process

Every project is different, and while some are contracted, produced and delivered within weeks some are developed and photographed over several years.

Any still photography assignment for hiring Martin Edström as a photographer in Sweden starts with a brief and an ideation session, where we talk through the intended outcome and visual components of the story or campaign to be photographed.

If we feel like there is a fit, we then develop a budget and production plan to make the project happen.
