Niklas Lindskog
I am a man from the north of Sweden, born in 1963. I'm married to Anna-Lena, and we have two grown kids, who have both flown the nest. When I was young, I did athletics, mostly running 200-400 meters. At 19, I started coaching, and at 27, I became a professional coach. This is still my job, even though I'm now counting down the days until I retire on September 1.
I've been into photography for almost 50 years now. In the beginning, I shot everything, with my friends and athletes, as the most common subjects. But when I look at my old negatives, I realize I shot something similar to street photography right from the start.
I've always liked to travel and always took a lot of photos when I did. Since 2010 I've traveled extensively and combined my longing to discover the world with a growing passion for street photography.
