Martin Edström

I believe that journalism should be engaging, and by making people interact with stories I believe we can create a greater understanding for the world and the people in it.

The world is too complex, and the internet too flexible, to justify telling stories with just columns of text and still images. I work with making engaging reportages, that go beyond linear storytelling and actually make people interact with the story.

My main subjects include human rights and environmental protection, sustainability in developing countries, natural and cultural heritage.

I strive to show forgotten places and subjects in my images, and tell the stories of individuals that are not regularly picked-up in the main-stream media.

As Vice Chairman of Reporters without borders in Sweden I continually work with both national and international press freedom issues.

I am an experienced keynote speaker on refugee issues, photography, immersive journalism and internet freedom.
