Stockholm Through a Different Lens — A 2.5-Hour Photography Walk
You could walk around Gamla Stan for an hour and get some nice photos. Thousands of tourists do it every day. But there's a difference between finding the obvious spots and knowing where the light falls at 3pm in February, which underpass fills with commuters at exactly the right moment, or where the neon signs create something worth shooting after dark.
That kind of knowledge takes years. I've spent fifteen of them photographing this city.
**What we do:**
This is a 2.5-hour guided photography walk through Stockholm's most photogenic neighbourhoods. We typically move from Riddarholmen, up to Maria Torget, across Slussen and along Södermalm's waterfront, through Gamla Stan and finish at Gamla Stan subway station — a route that gives us everything from tight street geometry to open water reflections and urban texture.
But this isn't a fixed march between landmarks. Before we meet, you'll tell me what you normally shoot — street portraits, urban landscapes, candid moments, architecture, night photography. I'll build our focus and pacing around that. The route stays roughly the same; what we stop for, linger on, and look for is shaped entirely by you.
**What you get:**
I'll take you to the places that took me years to find — the corners, the light, the timing, the spots that don't appear on any list. If you want feedback along the way on composition, timing, or how to approach a scene, I'm happy to share what I've learned. This isn't a structured lesson, but I've been doing this a long time.
Sure, if you want beautiful golden-hour shots of Gamla Stan reflected in still water, I can show you exactly where to stand and when. But I'll also show you the Stockholm that most visitors never see.
**How it works:**
1. **Book your slot.** On the booking form, tell me what kind of photography interests you and whether you've been to Stockholm before.
2. **I'll confirm your meeting point.** Based on what you want to shoot and where you're staying, I'll suggest where we meet — either near your hotel or at the start of our route.
3. **We shoot.** For the next 2.5 hours, we walk, we photograph, we talk about what we're seeing. I'll show you my Stockholm and help you find the stories you want to tell.
