Camilla Akrans


I wanted to do a post on Camilla Akrans, but it was quite hard to get a hold of her biography anywhere. I did find that she is a Swedish photographer who started in 1999. She first wanted to become an artist but quickly abandoned her artistic beginnings to approach photophraphy from a painter's view as well as drawing influences from movies.

Akrans’ work is a real breath of fresh air, her romantic shots in pastel colours hold a certain simplicity that make her shots amazing. Unlike many photographers who prefer the security and control of a photographic studio, Camilla prefers to shoot outdoors. Her use of lighting is also quite original, I think and adds to her style. An other thing I think she is really good at is directing the poses for her models.



The Swedish photographer is regularly approached by magazines like Vogue, Numero, Harper’s Bazaar and The New York Style Magazine for their fashion spreads. She has immortalized models such as Leah de Wavrin, Coco Rocha and Caroline Trentini.

After shooting campaigns for Hermès, Neiman Marcus, Tommy Hilfiger, Missoni and Erès, she has recently signed on for projects with Sisley, Bebe and fellow Swedish H&M.
