” Fotografering är mitt sätt att utforska verkligheten; att betrakta, tolka och synliggöra. Genom att ta bilder upptäcker jag världen på nytt. Främst handlar det om lust och glädje. Och om en stor passion för fotografi.”
Jan Töve, born 1958, is a freelance photographer and writer. He lives in Hökerum, in West of Sweden. He is represented internationally by the agencies Getty Images and Pixel Factory. Jan Töve is best known for his nature and landscape photographs. In 1995 he won Foto magazine’s ’Scandinavian Nature Photographer of the Year’ title, and in 2004 the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency namned him as ’Nature Photographer of the Year’. Besides his series of acclaimed books, Jan Töve has also produced films for Swedish Television and other clients. Today, in creating his images, he increasingly seeks the interfaces of nature, humankind and society. ” Previously in my life, I’ve mostly travelled from one natural area to another. But now the social landscape come to the fore. It’s become clearer to me how human beings set their stamp on the landscape and vice versa. People’s surroundings colour theirs attitudes and personalities. ” Read more about Jan Töve and his photography on www.tidningenfoto.se & www.kamerabild.sehttp://www.gettyimages.comhttp://www.pixelfactory.com/http://www.tidningenfoto.sehttp://www.kamerabild.seshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3
