Johan Siggesson – Wildlife Fine Art Photographer

Johan Siggesson is a wildlife photographer from Sweden residing on the small Mediterranean island of Malta. From an early age he was passionate about animals and the natural world. Before Animal Planet, Nat Geo Wild and the likes, he was always glued in front of the weekly nature program on Swedish state television. No matter if it was lions in Africa, wolves in Yellowstone or Polar bears in Svalbard; Johan practically grew up with Sir David Attenborough’s voice at the back of his head.

From the moment Johan bought his first digital camera he was hooked. The creativity that is unleashed with instant feedback on the screen, variable ISO and more or less unlimited image capacity is something that really appeals to him. This, combined with a passion for animals, is a recipe for a wildlife photographer.

When Johan is not out photographing or stuck in front of his Mac processing images, he enjoys a good meal or watching a game of soccer with friends… and a cold beer.  He hopes that you like viewing his images just as much as he enjoyed taking them!

In early, 2019 Johan Siggesson was one of the fortunate to be accepted into Sweden’s most prestigous nature photography association called Naturfotograferna/N.  A great honour!

Artist’s Statement

Seeing is only the first step in the creative process. Experiencing what I see and conveying it to You is where the creation becomes engaging. With nature as an eternal source of inspiration, I create works where my impressions of my surroundings are expressed on paper. Creating harmony of the uninterrupted complexity that exists in nature is stimulating and inspiring. Although my images have different motives and have been created using different techniques in the camera, all images are permeated with respect and reverence for the, sometimes very fragile, nature that surrounds us.
