Kalle is a young photographer, born and raised in Sweden. After two years of studying photography in Paris and a year and a half studying film production in Sydney, Australia, Kalle moved back to Sweden, settling in Stockholm. There he assisted the fashion photographer Bersa for 18 months before establishing himself as a freelance photographer. He has shot more than a dozen advertising campaigns, including Fila and Paul Smith, as well as numerous editorial spreads. His website also includes personal work which is just as compelling as any of his commercial projects. All of his images have a sort of ethereal quality, and his ability to capture a model at the perfect moment can be seen clearly in each image. He obviously uses some Photoshop techniques to desaturate and "stylize" his images. Although all of his work carries a unique and personal look, he definitely tailors the look to work for each project precisely. I am truly in love with his work and am so thankful that I came across it. I am striving to find my own personal style and am excited to play with some new Photoshop techniques. The possibilities are endless in that realm, just as they are with what I choose to put in front of my lens.
