Tommy Hansen , A Swedish social documentary photographer primarily focusing on two main areas within the frame of documentary depicting - the conditions and cultural traditions in different ethnic groups and the humanitarian perspective of conflicts, oppression and abuse.
Despite the fact that he first and foremost sees himself as a documentary photographer and his strongest driving force as a photographer is taking part of other people's lives, their stories and testimonies, he is also greatly fascinated by the grandeur of nature's many different creations and faces. Much of his time is spent in nature, and as always the cameras are his faithful companions.
He took his first pictures in the early teens. At that time a lot of time was spent in the Swedish and Norwegian nature and the camera was a natural part of the equipment. For the last fifteen years he has been dedicated to documentary photography. His focus and passion is for long-term documentary projects. Tommy's work have been shown at numerous exhibitions and certain projects have been published in dedicated books. His photography and storytelling has received both great attention and rewards.
