MIKAEL STENBORG
I was born in Sweden but now I live on an island between Sweden and the Finnish mainland. The island is called Åland and belongs to Finland but is entirely Swedish-speaking. Åland is geographically and culturally close to both Finland and Sweden. You can say that Åland has taken the best from Sweden and Finland and thus formed its little island nation.
Åland is known for its beautiful archipelago. It offers incredibly good opportunities for sailing, and boating in general. Instead of swimming in a pool, you take your small boat and go out to one of the 6,700 islands that belong to Åland and dive in from the rocks. The archipelago both inspires and offers great subjects for those who like photography, like me for example. Professionally, I have filmed more than photographed, but I thought it was just as fun with still images. The important thing is to be able to frame what I see and find interesting.
