Behind the Lens with Håkan Ludwigson: A Journey in Global Photography

Håkan Ludwigson is one of Sweden’s most acclaimed international photographers. He has worked on worldwide commercial assignments and projects for 50 years and, when Condé Nast Traveler was founded in 1987, the editor contracted Håkan Ludwigson two years later to join a roster of photographers which included legendary names such as David LaChapelle, Brigitte Lacombe and Helmut Newton. The 25-year engagement with Condé Nast made Ludwigson into one of the magazine’s real veterans! His photographs have been exhibited nationally and he has been awarded international prizes including Gold by the Art Directors Club Miami and Gold Pencil for Photography by Britain’s D&AD. He has won The One Show in New York, the Silver Lion in Cannes and the Guldägg in Sweden.

More about Håkan Ludwigson

The photographs in Balls and Bulldust which document the work of livestock farmers on some of Australia’s largest stations in its Northern Territory can be seen as a testimony of a profession that many of us have only seen on film, but even more as a personal portrait of those men and women who live a life of relentless and tiring manual work. They are simultaneously action photographs and close-up, intimate portraits showing a rare connection between the subject and photographer. The people depicted can easily be lifted out of their specific environment, thereby creating a sense of universality that casts a different, individual nuance to the observer.
