Skummeslövstrand 2025. Yours truly, photographed by Alfred Hertze.
I’m Joakim, a portrait and editorial photographer, based in Skåne, Sweden.
I’ve had an on-and-off romantic relationship with photography since my early teens, when I made my first prints in my dad’s makeshift darkroom. My style has been described as sitting at the crossroads of photojournalism, classic editorial portraiture, and cinematic storytelling. Above all, I aim to create photos that feel like memories.
I’m available for commissioned editorial portraiture and together with my wife I also shoot families, maternity and sometimes weddings.
I live in the south of Sweden, with my wife, my kids and a huge Rhodesian Ridgeback.
