Johan Jehlbo hails from Malmö but currently lives in Stehag in the middle of Skåne, Sweden. He is essentially a street photographer with flash as his specialty. Member and co-founder of the international photography collective Full Frontal Flash.

Johan has taught in workshops and lectured around the world, including London, San Francisco, Berlin and Copenhagen. He also has a close collaboration with Fujifilm.

He likes to work with longer projects where the imagery of street photography is the basis, but the limits for the genre are tested.

Johan is a finalist in several international street photography competitions with a win in the Eyeem Awards 2019 as the greatest merit, even though a second place for best series in GSPF 2021 is high on in the ranks.

In his lecture, he talks about how he has used flash as a way to create his own
style in its imagery. He presents his photos and projects and also discusses the use of flash in street photography by other photographers.
