Ola Jovall started as a hobby photographer in the Autumn of 2018 then participating in a photography inspirational week. It took place in Härjedalen, Sweden, and was organized by the local photographer Mats Ricklund. Mats excellency in photographing smaller landscape scenes has been a great inspiration since then. Another source of inspiration is the Norwegian photographer Magnus Reneflot - ”I am a treasure hunter but I don’t know where the treasure is or what it looks like.  I will find it and capture it for eternity.”

​

The process of creating images is very important for Ola. It's a journey that starts with the inspiring and joyful time spent in a landscape, figuring out what to photograph. And it ends with the creative time in the studio, finalizing those images.​​ For Ola, photography is artistic image-making carried out in collaboration with the landscape and what he encounter there. Craft and method are important parts of his process, complemented by chance influencing what he  encounter and how the landscape presents itself to him.​
