Hans Strand

Hans Strand, born in 1955 in Marmaverken, Sweden. In 1990, after a nine-year career
in mechanical engineering he decided to devote his life to landscape photography. It is a change he never regretted. Hans has always felt himself drawn to the untamed and un manipulated emotions and expressions that he finds in nature. He often says: ”The wilderness is the mother of all living things. It is always true and never trivial”. Hans work takes him to diverse places worldwide; from polar regions to steaming rainforests and expansive deserts. The internationally awarded landscape photography is seldom a portrait of a place, but an expression of forces that create and mold a landscape. His pictures, frozen in a static frame, still tell a story of movement, time and evolution.
He has won 13 international awards including Hasselblad Master Award in 2008. He has also made 12 books on landscape photography. The latest "Beyond Landscape" and " AQUA" with Kozu Books.
