Thobias Faldt (umlaut over the second a please)

I first heard of this Swedish photographer back in July when I was on 'iheartphotograph. I checked out his website and found some nicely shot images. His style seems to be very bleek and quite 'cold'. I like it. He's been featured in a tonne of magazines and won a few awards too. He has a quite a nice philosophy that he only takes one photo and leaves it there, he explains it better himself . . .
"i take thousands of pictures but i always stick to shooting only one frame of every photo 'cause i don't know how to choose otherwise. and i can't look at the pictures directly after i have taken them because if i do that i have such a strong feeling of the moment when i took it. it can only be a "picture" for me when the feelings from the moment are gone and all that is left is the picture as you see it. then i can choose. i'm always looking for pictures that have more than one layer of feeling."

I can't help thinking, is his stuff only cool though because it's set in Sweden and that's obviously foreign to us? Anyway, have a butchers . . .
