Ludvig HEDENBORG
Born in Örebro, Sweden in 1986.
BA in Television and Movie Production from Högskolan Dalarna.
He began working with still photography in 2019.
For nearly a decade before turning to photography, Ludvig worked as a freelance cameraman in commercial television. From 2010 onward he collaborated with production teams across Europe, filming for clients such as Netflix and Banijay. His assignments took him around the world—from the Americas to Southeast Asia—working under varied and demanding conditions.
These years shaped his technical understanding of the image, but more quietly, they also began shaping his idea of what an image could be. The transition into still photography emerged from a need to step away from the rigid frameworks of commercial television and pursue a more personal and reflective way of storytelling. In obscurity, he found space to explore a different kind of truth.
Many of Ludvig’s photographs are grounded in the landscapes and memory of his childhood home, the small village of Mariedamm. There, the presence of a past age lingers in the rhythm of agricultural life, in the soil, and in the remnants of medieval iron ore processing scattered throughout the forests. The layered history of the place informs not only his images but his sense of time and permanence.
Born with a visual deficiency in one eye, Ludvig has never experienced depth perception in the way most people do.
His mind learned to see with a single point of view—through one lens, much like a camera. This way of seeing forms his photographs: attentive to surfaces, drawn to light and shadow, attuned to silence. His images often flatten perspective in order to uncover subtle emotions and hidden structures, as if translating the world into another register.
At the heart of his practice lies a fascination with transience: how human lives, brief and fragile, pass through landscapes that seem eternal. His photographs often dwell on the spaces where time feels unsettled—where memory, history, and nature converge. Whether in the details of a stone, the movement of water, or the mist over a mountain, Ludvig seeks the quiet presence of something larger than us: an enduring rhythm that outlives human grasp, yet shapes our longing for something deeper.
