JAN T

His photography is based on the landscape in the broadest sense where people, environment and society are commented on or included. Jan usually works thematically with various projects, which revolve around issues of our contemporary existence and how, and in what way, we interact with our surroundings, each other and how it is expressed... Jan started taking photographs in his early teens and, after completing his compulsory schooling, was apprenticed to a portrait photographer. In 1982, he enrolled at the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts to train as a film cameraman, but he dropped out in favor of teacher training, graduating in 1986 from the school of education at Jönköping University. Since the 1990s he has been active a full-time freelance photographer alongside his own projects.
