From early age I have been interested in photography. But not serously getting involved until twenty years ago or so.
People are my favorite genre. Portraits especially. I also like shooting candid on the street.
I´m not so much into flowers. Nor sunsets.
Thank you for taking time to look at my images.

I'm definetely a fan of Gunnar's photography. There is a power and a fragility in his photos that keeps my attention. Thanks for sharing!
Gunnar will deliver. He doesn't fool around. His images are always visually entertaining and I do envy him. Makes me want to pull the eyes and brains out of him (and use them for myself, of course). Brilliant photographer and I am happy to have known him online for quite some time now. All the best.
Gunnar makes pure art out of simplicity, bringing out the beauty with awereness of good to the world. Thank you for being you and sharing this joy of life!

Read lessHis pictures speak loudly about the real beauty, the beauty behind the eyes of these people, the stories their expressions/faces tell are touching. Gunnar´s gallery is a treasure.
It is like for a moment, I have a private window into another world, another life but not only can I see that world/life, I'm able to feel it too. Amazing portraits, amazing stream! Thanks for sharing!
Words can't express how amazing these photos are. I can't stop looking!
When i stumbled on gunnisal photos i got inspired to try to get the same moments as he gets out of his photos. Incredible insight and emotions that gunnisal gives his photos with the right shots.
An inspiration is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Gunnar and his work behind the camera. He knows how to bring out what to me seems to be the very truest essence in a person whether he is in Nicaragua or Africa. It is my goal to be able to take portraits nearly as well as Gunnar. Until then I will … Read more
An inspiration is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Gunnar and his work behind the camera. He knows how to bring out what to me seems to be the very truest essence in a person whether he is in Nicaragua or Africa. It is my goal to be able to take portraits nearly as well as Gunnar. Until then I will continue to learn from him daily.

I just went trough Gunnar’s entire photostream and what a pleasure it was! I stumbled on his photos by a change and they made me so happy. Gunnar has a uniqe talent for portrait photography. His photos reveal a huge respect and love, he has for his subjects. He also has a beautiful artistic eye for color and composition. So he makes beautiful non’people photos too. He embraces the moment with love of people, love of live and his sencitiv eye. I will be the first persone to buy his first photographic book!

Gunnar definitely has the best collection of African portraits on Flickr. If you love Africa, his photo stream is a MUST! With his camera he managed to capture the essence of this wild and beautiful continent so well: love & anger, joy & sadness, curiosity & shyness, solicitude & abandon, hard work & pleasure, defiance & meekness, worry & patience, you name it! Oh, if these photos could just speak… A sincere BRAVO, Gunnar! (c: Kate (Hungary)
