Boring Random Shots Are Out
Storytelling Event Photographer in Stockholm
Cohesive Story over Random Shots
to connect your audience to the energy of what you're creating you need a photographer who understands your event
Why are you organising an event? Probably to bring people together for a common purpose, whatever that might be. I call that purpose an emotional hook of your event. And it's that hook that makes people want to come.
But how do you properly show your potential participants what they never want to miss out on? By hiring a photographer who understands that there's more to the event images than pointing a camera over room full of people.
People connect to a story. The story of what connections they'll create when they come to your event and what transformative moments they'll experience.
Everyone is familiar with boring, not so much telling, if slightly unflattering, event shots of people grimacing or mid-sentence. Forget about that.
Instead, get excited about THE STORY and the potential it has on all your future event-organising endeavours. Receive a gallery focused on small and big details, micro moments and people's faces showing true emotions, with all the event's energy mirroring in them. Share images like that and watch how no one will want to miss out on any of your future events!
What's more - get ready for how your past participants will keep sharing and talking up your event when they'll be reminded of what they experienced by captivating photos where they'll like themselves!
Type of Events I Document
Over the past few years I had documented a variety of diverse events ranging from large conferences & summits with over 100 participants to small intimate networking events and workshops. I'm familiar with shooting at different venues in Stockholm and other parts of Sweden and have developed sense for working with any kind of lightning conditions.
I am always open to new types of events and ideas so don't hesitate to reach out with any concept you have in mind.

what my previous clients said about my work
Women's Leadership Summit 2022 & 2023
Winery Hotel, Solna
“What can I say? Susanna was awesome from start to finish. She went above and beyond during then entire 10+hr event. She showed up early and stayed late. The pictures she took elevated the event and showcased the spirit of each and every person that was present. Susanna was constantly in motion, looking to capture the emotion of the event and I couldn't be happier with the result. I will definitely work with her again! Thanks Susanna for such an amazing experience working together."

“I wanted to tell you what a great job you did last night! I wanted to buy you at least a drink as a thank you for all your hard work but you were like a ninja all night! The second I turned you were already gone and capturing a different angle!”

How I Work
"You were like a ninja all night!" "You move like a cat." Over the years I have developed my own specific way of how I document events and this is how some of my previous clients commented on it. I take a pride in how I move around the room and pay great attention to be quiet and unnoticed in order to not disturb the scene or make people aware of the camera. A skill that helps me capture truly genuine moments.
No more unflattering poses. Nothing puts someone off more from sharing images with their audience like a shot where they appear in an unflattering pose, with a grimace on their face, mid-sentence. I take great care for participants in my images, carefully crafting them, always paying attention to show everyone only in flattering moments.
I won't force a flash on you. I had received so many requirements from past events to not use flash when shooting due to variety of reasons and so I was able to perfect my skill to work in truly challenging light conditions, ranging from usual conference rooms with no windows to more extreme ones like cinema halls during film festival screenings. I stay away from using external flash for most of the events but especially during those where heavy emotions are shared and use of flash would disturb the vulnerable moments.
What I Capture & What You Receive in Your Final Gallery
What Was Unfolding
The energy of your participants is your biggest leverage. How they experience the day and how they make connections is probably the most important thing you should be showing. People connect to people. I therefore focus a lot on energy in the room, emotions of individuals and interactions of smaller groups. Get ready for a lot of shots full of action, laughs & hugs!
The Story of You
9 out of 10 cases people want to come to your event because of YOU. In smaller events, the story of you is an undeniable crucial part of the event shots I take. Being able to show your energy & how you interact is a great way how to market your future events.
Details & Close-ups
Details & Close-up shots are a crucial part of my event photoshoots as they help emphasise an emotion or a moment even more. These shots are also a great future marketing material as they help drive the point of what you're doing!
Venue & Food
Sometimes the venue is one of the main hooks of an event. Looking at food and beautiful locations brings a lot of emotions, helping the audience be better transported right into the experience. I therefore pay close attention to these details of your event.
Entertainment
All parts of your event play an important role in painting the picture. Things like musical performance can have a huge impact on your audience. I strive for taking creative shots full of emotions that will make your event stand out.
Sponsor Materials
Satisfying your sponsors you worked so hard on getting for your event is a crucial part of event shots in my gallery. I capture creative branding images that your sponsors will be so excited about that they will want to share it on their channels, helping you further promote your event!
