Maria & Henry in the cold waters of Fryken.
Maria is a photographer, and over the years, we have grown so much together. Endless photoshoots in all types of places, where we acted as each others subjects, allowed us to attempt, fail and sometimes even succeed. Looking back at our adventures as two people who now are able to work as photographers,I am eternally grateful. Photographing her in a lake in Värmland - with her son and as adults - brought back memories of all those teenage shoots we went on together, often also taking place in water. I left many of them up here on this website.
Maria Almgren is a photographer based in Karlstad, Sweden. Her work is gentle, true and detailed, and always centres the needs of the person photographed. When she's not behind the camera or in front of mine - she studies to be a preschool teacher and is a great musical performer, currently acting in "Amelie" at Värmlandsteatern.
