About Me
My name is Maria Rosenlöf. I’m a freelance photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden and the Åland Islands, Finland.
I photograph portrait stories and reportage features for press, books, artists, organisations, advertising agencies etc.
I also photograph personal projects. The theme of my latest work, Red is the Colour of Your Life, is radon and the rapakivi bedrock of Åland.
Red is the Colour of Your Life was exhibited in Photographic Gallery Hippolyte Studio in Helsinki, at the Cultural History Museum of Åland 2019, and in Center For Photography, Stockholm 2020.

Jag heter Maria Rosenlöf och arbetar som frilansfotograf parallellt med personliga projekt. Sedan bildjournalistexamen från Nordens Fotoskola Biskops-Arnö 2002 gör jag redaktionella och kommersiella uppdrag för tidningar, organisationer, bokförlag, reklambyråer med flera.
I mina egna projekt fokuserar jag ofta på identitet och begreppet plats. Det senaste, Red is the Colour of Your Life, utgår från berggrunden på Åland, rapakivigranit och radon.
Red is the Colour of Your Life visades på fotogalleri Hippolyte Studio i Helsingfors och på Ålands Kulturhistoriska Museum 2019. 2020 på CFF, Centrum för Fotografi, i Stockholm.
