About Jacob Bjelfvenstam – Photographer in Stockholm

My work splits fairly evenly between four things. Corporate and business photography — headshots, team portraits and people at work, usually destined for a website, an annual report or a press release. Event photography — conferences, seminars, tastings and launches, where the job is to come away with a set that tells the story of the day. Food and restaurant photography, for menus, cookbooks and social media. And portraits and weddings, which are the most personal work I do.

If what you need is not on that list, ask anyway. Ten years of freelancing means most requests turn out to be a variation on something I have shot before.

Every job starts with a conversation about what the pictures are actually for, because a headshot going onto a LinkedIn profile and one going into a full-page magazine spread are not the same photograph. Once I know that, I come back to you with a quote.

On the day I work quickly and stay out of the way — a conference should carry on as though I were not there. You can see images as we shoot and change direction on the spot. Afterwards I go through the take, edit the selects, and deliver files sized for whatever you need them for, print or screen. If you are in a hurry, unedited files can go over the same day.

I know every inch of Stockholm — the venues, the light, the spots that still work for portraits in the middle of winter — and I travel across the rest of the country regularly. When a shoot needs more than one person, I can put a crew of photographers, assistants and stylists together here at short notice.

Looking for video rather than stills? I also work as a freelance videographer in Stockholm — corporate video, events and interviews, for clients including WebMD, the BBC and the European Commission. See Cameraman Stockholm.
