Three photographers with different conditions for monitoring conflict areas share insights from their own work. How are opportunities created in order to work in the way they want, and how do limitations shape the images we see from places like Ukraine and Gaza? Some of Sweden’s most renowned photojournalists make comparisons from the field and share their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johan Malmberg \u00e4r kulturredakt\u00f6r p\u00e5 Helsingborgs Dagblad – kulturjournalist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Johan Malmberg. <\/strong>Culture editor at Helsingborgs Dagblad and a longtime critic and writer, especially focusing on film and photography. I have a particular interest in photojournalism and how its perception in Swedish daily press has shifted over time. In 2017, I established the Helsingborgs Dagblad Photography Prize, which may be a modest gesture in the periphery, but still a defense of photojournalism and the visibility of images in newspapers. The very first prize was awarded to Nora Lorek, followed by Alexander Mahmoud, Johannes Samuelsson, Kicki Lundgren, Troy Enekvist, Ikram Abdulkadir, and Nils Petter L\u00f6fstedt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the photography prize winners were exhibited here at the Landskrona Photo Festival, but now this takes place annually at Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg. During the exhibition period, I also organize various discussions about photography and photojournalism, as will be the case when this year\u2019s exhibition opens in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past decade, I have also devoted a great deal of time to produce exhibitions (art and photography) in the name of the newspaper. It started here at the festival in 2015 as the organizer of a photo salon, and continued the following year with the exhibition “It’s so hard to live without you” (featuring Priscilla Briggs, Victoria Crayon, and Karolina Jonderko).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not entirely easy to find time for all of this within my role as culture editor at Helsingborgs Dagblad, but photography is clearly very close to my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kent Klich<\/strong> is a visual artist and educator working within the fields of photography and film, slow journalism, and collaborative methodologies of image-making and representation. He focuses on the interconnection between disciplines; an image never stands alone but links with language, objects, sounds, and documents. His work narrates the social and political realities that we inhabit in their complexities by questioning and creating a multiplicity of entry points into unresolved issues, giving room to critical reflection as much as a space for emotional engagement. Areas of work; Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Romania, Palestine\/Israel and Russia. He has made five books on Gaza, the latest one GZA On Land and Air, Dogwalk books, 2024, a cooperation between Muhammad Shehada, Hind Khoudary and Tina Enghoff. <\/p>\n\n\n

Nora Lorek<\/strong> (b.1992 in Germany) is a documentary photographer based in Gothenburg. In her storytelling, she focuses on forced migration, culture and human rights. In her long-term work, she chooses shape and expression based on the projects and in collaboration with the people affected by them. She often shares everyday life with the people whose lives she documents, and works with advocacy work that gives the audience the opportunity to contribute to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photographer is represented by Panos Pictures and works for several international clients such as National Geographic, Der Spiegel, New York Times among others. She runs the Milaya Project, a non-profit organization in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement that works with fifty women who now make a living from their embroidery craft and export their art all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
