You have probably never heard the name Hans Gedda if you aren’t Swedish, infact, being Swedish wouldn’t guarantee it either. What you might have seen are some of his iconic portraits taken during the 70s and 80s. Nelson Mandela, Andy Warhol, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Bjorn Borg and the late Swedish prime minister Olof Palme are only a handful of the people that have been caught by his lens. If you know Swedish or just enjoy watching swedes talk, you can watch the full length documentary Geniet från Flen HERE. An inspiring and beautiful portrait of one of Sweden’s greatest and undeservingly unknown photographers.
