Björn Persson is an internationally renowned artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has spent many years traveling around the world in search of adventure and spectacular images. His passion for this planet’s beautiful wildlife and humans is reflected in his images.
Björn looks upon his work as an art form rather than pure wildlife and documentary photography. Driven by a passion for inspiring people to engage, his photographs resonate a highly emotional level. The ambition with his imagery is to to portray the wild animals as they truly are: beautiful, sentient and highly conscious beings with different needs and personalities. With his camera as his paintbrush, he wants to capture their souls and translate their wisdom. His photos are evocative, dreamy and cinematic, generating manifestations beyond the obvious reality. To create his works of art, he uses a wide range of styles, involving everything from artistic post production to overlays.
Apart from fine art photography, Björn is committed to documenting and raising awareness to the threatened species situation. His passion for wildlife was born when he trained in field care and worked with anti-poaching in South Africa. That’s when he discovered what a critical state the wildlife is in.
Since then, Björn has used his camera as a weapon and against wildlife poaching, and donated substantial amounts towards wildlife conservation. Björn Persson is also the founder of Here Forever Foundation, an organisation aiming to raise awareness and raise funds towards wildlife conservation in Africa. In 2018 he released his successful debut photography book The Real Owners of the Planet.

Björn Persson
Björn Persson has become one of the foremost photographers of the African savanna. Persson gets up close and personal with some of our planet’s largest and most dangerous animals. His black-and-white photographs often reveal a tenderness in his fearsome subjects and show a reverence for the natural world. In addition to capturing the natural grace of these animals, Persson draws attention to the dire need to preserve these often endangered species. A fierce advocate for environmental preservation, he has launched the Here Forever Foundation, which is dedicated to wildlife conservation. His photographs have been exhibited worldwide, including at the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
