Erik Johansson is a Swedish photographer and retoucher currently based in Berlin, Germany. He doesn’t capture moments, he captures ideas. To Erik photography is just a way to collect material to realize the ideas in his mind with a problem solving approach. Although one photo can consist of hundreds of different images he always wants it to look like it could have been captured. Every new project is a new challenge and the goal is to realize it as realistically as possible. There is no CGI or stock photos in Erik’s work, just complex combinations of his own photographs.
