SHANGHAI – in the Eyes of World Photographers.
Yes, I was one of the selected few. Seven photographers of us to be more exact. We came from San Francisco, Tokyo, Marseille, Hamburg, Sao Paulo, Milano and Gothenburg. And we were all invited by the municipality of Shanghai. Their objective was for us to capture the soul of Shanghai – modern and old. The city gave us eight days and it all resulted in one great book with wonderful pictures.
Here are a few of my pictures published in the book. There will be more to come and the next ones will be from the original photos in full size.

Two month in sunny California and now back to the dark and wintry Sweden. But I´m back in USA in late April when we will go on with the production of the documentary about Henry Diltz, the rock ´n roll photographer from the 60´s.
