EXT Photo Magazine #2 Five Star Gurus - Behind The Scenes

Lars Löfman Sweden
My name is Lars-Erik Löfman, I was born
and raised in Northern Sweden, in 1979, my
parents derived from Finland. I work at a
factory that manufactures aluminum.
In my upbringing I have always had access to a
camera so the photo interest has always existed for me. About
4 years ago I started to develop my photography by taking
the help of mentors/youtube and GS who could give me the
basic knowledge in photo. I also have several photographers
as role models.
I think it’s important to check out other photographers
and photos you like. You can learn a lot by trying to think
about how the photographer thought when he took the
picture. But then it is important to find your own nich and be
lucky to catch the moment.
The first competition I participated in was at GS
in the spring of 2017. My favorite motifs to photograph are
landscape and seascape. What motivated me to attend where
to win, I wanted to be among the best. Outside the challenges
I’ve been featured on TV. I’ve only competed on GS.
