Hi, I'm Manfred Svärd and I'm from Sweden
I am currently living in Gothenburg, with my roots in Umeå
My professional career is in animal healthcare at the biggest independent animal hospital in Sweden. In my free time you can find me wandering the streets of Gothenburg with a camera in one hand.
My father introduced me to the world of photography when I was a kid. I was 4 years old the first time he let me take a photo it was with his Pentax SV. The photo came out good and we had it enlarged and ever since photography has been a part of my life. It gives me tranquility and excitement, a reason to go out and meet new people and feel the joy of a good photo.
The social part of photography is important to me. It has given me the opportunity to make new friends all over the world.
