Mikael Jakobsson - Visual Artist

Biography

Born i Malmö, Sweden. Started to take photographs back in 1972. Apprentice & assistent for 3 years before I started my first studio. Did commercial & fashion photography for the next 20 years. This was in the film era. Then came digital cameras and the end of me taking commissions.

Now I am just a photographer/ visual artist using this beloved media to express myself.

My Work/ Gear/ Sales

Trying to get my compositions right. My approach is mindful & I strive to create work that is clear and uncompromising.

My style is not to have a style. (A legacy from many years of advertising and fashion photography)

However, I always try to have a tone & rythm in my photographs. Good photography is like music. Tells a story and offers comfort or well-being.

Maybe this is my style?

A lot of my current work is made with my much loved Ricoh GR series cameras. I am also a lifetime user of Nikon cameras. My recent love affair for Nikons are my fantastic Nikon Df.

All pictures are for sale. Just contact me below with your inquires. I use the world known Whitewall Lab in Germany for all my printing & presentation of my work.

Mentoring/ Lectures/ Private Sittings

I have an extensive knowledge in photography. Both technical, lighting, but also composition & content awareness. Over the years I've also learned a thing or two about the psychology of taking pictures of people. Both models and people in general.

My mentorship is aimed for the photographer who has some basic technical knowledge in photography.

Contact me below for mentoring. I'm sure we can figure something out!

I also have my lecture called "My photographic life - So far" which is a presentation in speech and picture showing. Duration 1 hour.

I am open for private portrait sessions. You won't get the typical boring portrait from me. I don't use fixed methods. You be suprised..

Just get in touch!
