Anna Hurtig, Stockholm, Sweden

Anna Hurtig is a self taught photographer.  She grew up in stockholm/sweden where she currently lives.  Anna has always had an interest in photography and art.  Since being a mother of three children, they have naturally become her main source of inspiration.  Two of her images from ”imaginaryplay” series are currently exhibited in The Minds Eye exhibition at The center for Fine Art Photography and her work has been published in both F-Stop Magazine and FILE Magazine.

”Photography for me is a way to tell a story and evoke a feeling.  I utilize my camera as a tool to create imagery that is both real and surreal, laced in fantasy.  In my attempt to tell a story I combine my memories and observances of my everyday surroundings.  The story continues to grow as I rely on my conscious and subconscious to invent and transfer those thoughts to an image.  My goal is to relive a memory by arranging a scene that I ultimately have direct control over the outcome. It’s from that process I find myself being most present in myself.”
