När jag började fotografera var vi en grupp kompisar som tillbringade mycket tid tillsammans för att fotografera vad som hände på gatorna i Stockholm. Jag blev gatufotograf redan då utan att veta att det var just det vi sysslade med. Jag ville bli fotograf men istället började jag studera på Chalmers. Under mina år i yrkeslivet fanns inte mycket tid att ägna åt fotografering. Visst var kameran med för det mesta men det var svårt att få tiden att räcka till. På senare år har jag känt att jag ville utvecklas mer som fotograf och jag har därför letat efter andra som är intresserad av fotografering. På fotomässan i Stockholm 2009 kom jag i kontakt med Stockholms fotoklubb och där jag har fått ny inspiration och träffat nya fotovänner.

2012 startade Hans Wahlgren gatufotogruppen som är en grupp inom Stockholms fotoklubb. Intresset för en nystart med gatufoto vaknade på nytt och jag blev en av medlemmarna i gatufotogruppen.

Strolling on discovery in the town of Stockholm with my camera to try to find exciting photo opportunities is a great interest to me.

I started photographing in the late 60’s. I received the first inspiration from my brother-in- law Göte, who was a diligent photographer. He even had a dark room where I assisted him.

My first SLR camera was a Pentax S1a with a 55mm lens. Since then I have had a number of different cameras. Today I have a Nikon D7500 which I am very pleased with.

When I first started photographing we were a group of friends who spent a lot of time together photographing situations in the streets of Stockholm. I became a street photographer, without knowing that this was exactly what we were doing. I wanted to become a photographer, but I started studying at Chalmers University of Technology. During my working years I did not have much time for photographing. In recent years I have wanted to develop as a photographer so I have been looking around for others to join who, like me, are interested in photography. At the Photo Fair in Stockholm 2009, I came in contact with Stockholm's Photo Club and where I have received new inspiration and met new photo friends.

In 2012 Hans Wahlgren started The Street Photography Group. My interest in street photography got a fresh start and I became one of the members of The Street Photography Group.
