About Me

My name is Eva Marie Widmark, born in 1945 in Lund, Sweden, where I currently reside. I graduated with a B.Sc. in geology, zoology, and botany. Fluent in five languages, I’ve traveled to 36 countries and hold certifications in Qualified Hunting and Tikka 65, ensuring I can defend myself in the wilderness. I am also a former elite swimmer. Throughout my life, photography has been my constant passion, something I've honed over the years through experience and persistence. I never travel without my camera.

My Background Story

Equipment

The camera is both my companion and challenger. While guiding, it has provided countless opportunities for documenting my experiences. My photos from polar and tropical regions have been showcased in exhibitions, publications, lectures, and slide shows. I have a special fondness for the results captured on my analog camera, with thousands of slides stored away. Though digital cameras offer more immediate and creative possibilities, the key remains being open to imagination and anticipating the perfect moment.
