Lets talk about Lars Tunbjörk. I’d say he is the house god for us Swedish photographers and wannabe photographers (me).There are a gazillion images and photographers from the US, from the early 1900s and onwards. Just by capturing 1980s and 1990s Sweden his work stands out, add to that his sharp witty eye, flash and surrealism.

>>4499846I belive he would be much more famous if he was American, or at least if his photos were taken in the US.

>>4499839I have seen a reel in Instagram about him the other day. Very creepy photographer for sure but this flash in the day light is a hard pill to swallow. It's just way too ugly.
>>4499851
>>4499852Well, its a special type of look. Sort of like Stephen Shore and William Egglestone. However I find his images to be more intelligent than the work of both of those.

>>4499857I am getting Luigi Ghirri x Martin Parr vibes from his work. There is also a Chinese photographer similar to this aesthetic but I am forgetting his name. But yes he has a unique vibe to his work. This >>4499851 photo is so damn funny and intelligent but still my problem is that I don't like this flash thing.
>>4499859Yes, Martin Parr is a better comparison.
>>4499858they likely are clean and shoptuning tier carburetor at background
>>4499843We had a cycling helmet exactly like this at home. I suppose Finland and Sweden weren't that different back in the 80s, these pictures feel like Martin Parr but cozy, needs more sommarstugor tho
>>4499854This is the ideal women body type. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance look like.
>>4499934I want to run away and live the rest of my life with her in that trailer
>>4499850>>4499843crazy lighting work, very cool photos ty for posting OP
>>4499839Is breddy gud opI like it. Is real nice.As they say, if it quacks like a duck…
just received the new print of landet utom sig.its very good, had a few good laughs, cried, the usual...the MF ektachrome(?) colors slap hard. wonder what sort of flash unit he used, must have been quite powerful.
