My name is Lasse Persson and I am a photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden. I started with street photography already in the mid-1960s although then it wasn’t clear to me what street photography meant. Over the years I have kept the passion alive for street photography or “candid photography” which I also sometimes prefer to call it. Photography is for me an art of observation. I love to walk the streets to capture the rapidly passing moments that never will return.

My Personal Best: Swedish Street Photographer Lasse Persson

I try to tell a story in one image looking for moments that can be extraordinary, humorous or absurd in everyday life. Photography has also been a way of life for me. I have been working as a press photographer for Swedish newspapers and magazines for over 40 years. Which also has inclouded travels and assignments in Europe, Asia, and the USA. I lived in Los Angeles for a period of time working as a freelance photographer for Swedish clients. Today when I am retired, I and my wife travel around in Europe in a motorhome during 6 months every year. This gives me a great opportunity in my street photography.
