Artist and Photographer Anna W Thorbjörnsson has always been fascinated by people, with focus on portraits. In 2016 her first art photo project Waterlife won several international awards. 2019, her Fine Art Nude series The Female Eye was recognized internationally and selected for exhibition in a 17th Century chapel at the Festival Européen de la Nu in Arles, France.
She has also been teaching photography at Fotografiska in Stockholm and is the author and photographer of 19 books. Her books explore a range of themes within art, travel, nature, history and culture. Her writing and photography can also frequently be seen in several daily newspapers in Sweden.
Beyond her fine art prints, books and writing, Anna is also a creative professional. She has been commissioned for work in filmmaking, screenwriting, and photography, bringing her unique blend of storytelling and visual artistry to a range of creative projects, many of them within the performative and music areas.
Anna has a Master of Business Administration from Lund University and started photography after a career change from business life in 2008. She now has her home in Arild, Sweden but has also lived in Hamburg, Berlin, Budapest, Las Palmas and Stockholm.
