Martina Holmberg

Martina Holmberg is a freelance photographer based and born in Stockholm, Sweden. As a child, she often accompanied her father to the darkroom where he copied black and white photographs. She loved to pass through the doors into the dark room and smell the chemicals from the vats where the photographs slowly emerged in the liquids. Perhaps it was there that her interest in photography began without her knowledge at the time.

Holmberg is both a writer and photographer, and women's different living conditions have been a common thread in her work for many years. An incurable curiosity about the human being is the main reason why she become a photographer and writer. She have traveled around the world for various aid organizations and on her own assignments where she have portrayed people's different living conditions. Often with a focus on women's rights. She find just as much inspiration in creating a feeling or an inner state on a more subtle level. She love to challenging herself by trying new expressions to constantly evolve. Over the years she has published eight photo books, and her work has been exhibited, awarded, and published internationally.
