Martin Bogren

"[3] Bogren has had solo exhibitions of Lowlands[4] and Italia[5] at Fotografiska in Stockholm, Sweden, and of Ocean at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon.

[1][12] He has since established his signature style,[12] making—in the words of Sean O'Hagan in The Guardian—"understated books full of quietly observed moments shot in grainy black and white.

"[3] In Ocean (2008) "his subjects were a group of men from Rajasthan, who had travelled the 1,000-odd miles from their inland home by minibus to bathe in the sea for the first time.

"[12] For Lowlands (2011), Bogren revisited his childhood home of Skurup over 4 years, "to portray the inhabitants, environments and atmosphere of the village",[11] "a rural Swedish idyll peopled with strange and beautiful characters.

[3] August Song (2020) was made during summers between 2013 and 2018, at music venues hidden in woods on the outskirts of villages in rural parts of Sweden.
