I am Eva Boije af Gennäs, born in 1957 in Gothenburg.
Photographer, mother, grandmother, hairdresser, human, choir singer, scout.

People are my driving force, meetings, conversations, getting to know each other, and since 5 years ago also capturing them in pictures.

Discovering everything that was happening around me with my mobile, I explored the city and the people. Through contact with groups on Instagram and FaceBook, it then became a camera, photo walks and trips around Scandinavia and Europe.

Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon, Belfast, Budapest, Porto were environments that exploded with life for someone with a camera. Today I have my Fujifilm XT5 and 16-80mm as my best friend. Together we “see” everything that happens, the life that goes on around the clock in the city and that gives me energy.

You will find joy, humor and the slightly clever in my pictures. Preferably color but black and white is also exciting.

I call my talk StreetLife inspired by the song with Randy Crawford because for me music and images are in symbiosis. When I see the picture I hear the music so there will be some music too!

“Sideshow” is an ongoing street photography project initiated by Chris Harrison in October 2016. It revolves around exploring his hometown of Brighton without preconceived expectations, evolving into an exercise in pushing the boundaries of curiosity and receptivity. Often traversing the same routes repeatedly, it delves into the depths of repetition.

Born out of a desire for personal creative expression and autonomy, Chris, a seasoned graphic design and brand consultant of 30 years, sought a break from the commercial demands of his profession. Embracing the street as a dynamic canvas of ever-changing elements, he finds allure in the challenge of crafting something intriguing from the random flux of surroundings.

Initially, Brighton wasn’t the project’s focal point; rather, Chris aimed to capture captivating shots within its confines. However, as the project progressed, Brighton’s essence began to emerge, albeit in unexpected ways.

A friend, witnessing the project’s evolution, remarked that viewing its images alters one’s perception of Brighton forever – a sentiment Chris embraces, aspiring to redefine his own view of the city with each outing.

“Sideshow” also highlights Brighton’s “low season,” characterised by a melancholic ambiance during the colder months. Chris finds this period particularly inspiring, relishing the unique encounters with light, space, and subdued colours, which infuse the winter shots with a distinct tone of pathos.

Born and raised in Kharkiv in Ukraine, former USSR. Since 1990 living in Sweden.

Kharkov is known for its photo school. A group of photographers originating from there became representatives for the new Soviet photo art in the end of the eighties.

Works in mixed techniques from hand colored black and white photos to conceptual investigations.
Misha has been working as a head teacher at the photo school Kulturama in Stockholm for the past 15 years. He is also founder and coordinator of the Ukrainian Photography Alternative (UPHA).
And has been the curator of numerous international photographic projects.

Mishas presentation is about two of his projects: M is for Metro and The Return of Eternal Presence.

Misha Pedan’s book ”M” is poetic chronicle of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
All these pictures I made in the Kharkov metro in 1985–86. Every day I travelled
45 minutes to the city and 45 minutes back. In two years I spent 1000 hours in
the subway. These are the poeple I met.

It’s not your camera nor technical skills that make good photos. It’s your mindset.

Anna Lisa Lohmann is a German TV journalist who discovered her deep passion for street photography whilst living in London. „It’s all the London rain’s fault. It forced me to seek shelter in a book shop where I randomly grabbed two compilations from the shelves: „Street Photography Now“ by Howarth/McLaren and „100 Great Street Photographs“ by David Gibson. Flickering through the books it hit me like a bus: That’s exactly what I want to do!“ She bought a camera and has never left house without it ever since. Images of hers have been awarded and exhibited around the globe.

Anna is internationally known for her vivid shots full of colour and stories, often with a humorous element. „I love life. And I think of street photography not so much as a genre but rather an attitude towards life.“

Anna will talk about the power of a positive mindset and how it can help you create unique street shots. “The right attitude can prevent awkward confrontations and sometimes even turn sh*t into gold”, she says. Hear about High Alert Meditation, Anna’s Wing(wo)man Theory and the role of luck. You want to stop worrying and start shooting? This lecture is for you.

“I will show how important composition in street photography is for me.”

Francesca started shooting and developing photos while studying architecture in Naples, Italy. After graduating, she took a 3-month photography course, and soon after she moved to NYC, with the desire of becoming a professional photographer. Once there, she ended up working as an architect, taking pictures in her free time. Back in Naples, in 2017 she got passionate about Street Photography, and since 2019 her work has been exhibited worldwide.

She is a member of the international street photography collective Through the Lands and one of the 100 “Women Street Photographers” showcased in the book edited by Prestel Publishing. In 2023 she is invited by Eyeshot Magazine to run a series of photowalks and photo-experiences in Naples and in the same year she starts collaborating with Fujifilm Italia. In March 2024 her name appears among 5 Masters of Street Photography on the online magazine Fotocult.it.

The title of the lecture is “Fill the frame”. “Going through my latest work, I will show how important composition in street photography is for me. Thanks to my architectural background, and my love for cinema and art, I have always been very attentive on the use of colors, light and geometry. Combining these three elements together alongside the right use of layers, I always look for the perfect frame”.

I was born in Germany in the 60s. In 1999 I immigrated with my family to Spain, where I have been living and working until now.

My young heart has been beating for art and music and already at the age of 12, I had the dream of becoming a professional musician. But this was a bit naïve and I started an apprenticeship as a cook. After a short time I made a fast career (1 Michelin star). I still had not given up on my dream and went back to school to get my A-levels (1991)…Then I studied art and music! In art, my focus was on photography and land art (1992-1998). In all this time I gave many live concerts and released 4 cd albums, did a lot of art and conceptual photography.



When we went to Spain (with two kids), I started cooking professionally again (the bills had to be paid). Since 2009 self-employed as a private chef! During this time I started to photograph my views out of the kitchen windows of my clients with a little Sony cyber shot camera (I loved it), so it was a conceptual work… and it turned into snapshots, moods and detail photographs. It turned into stories on social media and on my website. The final result was the publication of a combined cookbook and lifestyle book, together with my wife! Thinking about taking other food photos and also making the layout extraordinary, I borrowed a Nikon D5600 with a 35mm fixed focal length and started to take really focused photos again…I was already doing street photography without knowing it!


Due to professional ban in 2020 with Covid-19, I sold my business and have been a professional street photographer since 2021. I give workshops in street photography and I am a storytelling photographer in companies called Corporate Street!

You can see The title of my talk/conversation and discussion as a working title. But I find the topic “comfort zone” very interesting and the parallelism of street photography and other areas of life. It’s about Exploring street photography and the real life – The adventure of leaving the comfort zone.
