About & Contact

My name is Linda Forsell, I am a freelancing photographer and journalist based in Stockholm.
At the moment I am work mainly on a project called Cause of Death: Woman, about violence
against women all over the world. Together with Karin Alfredsson and Kerstin Weigl I am traveling
to ten different countries, producing a material that will result in an international website, book,
exhibition and several magazine publications.

In the beginning of 2012 my project “Life’s a Blast” from Israel and Palestine, will be exhibited
in Stockholm, Sweden, accompanied by a book launch.
The series was one of the finalists of Magnum Expression Award in 2010.

Among other things I have done are magazine design, books and exhibition production.

I have a bachelor degree in photojournalism from the Mid Sweden Univeristy in Sundsvall.
