Björn Persson
Björn Persson is an internationally renowned wildlife photographer
based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has spent many years traveling
around the world in search of adventure and spectacular images. His
passion for this planet’s beautiful wildlife and humans is reflected in his
images.
Björn looks upon his work as an art form rather than pure wildlife and
documentary photography. Driven by a passion for inspiring people to
engage, his photographs resonate a highly emotional level. The
ambition with his imagery is to to portray the wild animals as they truly
are: beautiful, sentient and highly conscious beings with different
needs and personalities.
Apart from fine art photography, Björn is committed to documenting
and raising awareness to the threatened species situation. His passion
for wildlife was born when he trained in field care and worked with
anti-poaching in South Africa. That’s when he discovered what a
critical state the wildlife is in. Since then, Björn has used his camera as
a weapon and against wildlife poaching, and donated substantial
amounts towards wildlife conservation. Björn is also the president of
Smart Savannahs, an organisation aiming to protect endangered
species with world leading technology.
2018 he released his successful debut photography book The Real
Owners of the Planet.The second book in his trilogy - Beauty Will Save
the World was released in 2020. The third and concluding book Living
Souls came out in 2024.
