After that prices in Picture of the Year distributed in Photographic in Stockholm on Saturday, could be three GP photographers leave the gala with heavy awards: Lisa Thanner, freelancer Jonas Tobin, and Olof Ohlsson who practiced at the newspaper last year.
– It’s a little hard to digest still. I’m not done with my education, and that students get to share the stage with some of the best photographers … what can I say? Amazingly awesome and fun, says Olof Ohlsson.
The story of Nepalese migrant workers conditions in Qatar, which he both photographed and wrote the lyrics to where his thesis to photo school at Bishop Arno. It was published in GP last summer.
During Saturday’s gala was rewarded it with two awards, including the heaviest according Olof Ohlsson itself is the third prize in the category of foreign news. In addition, he was awarded the price Rookie of the Year.
– I see it as proof that I am on the right track, and that what I do is appreciated and well, says the 25-year-old Gothenburg Son, which takes graduated from the program in June.
Why do you think that your story was so successful?
– primarily because I had enough of that good accessibility and helpful when I was in Nepal, and was piloted by a person who understood what I wanted and what I needed to see. Also, I had plenty of time to me, the whole seven weeks, so I could go through my material in peace.
– That I did everything myself worked well in this particular case, but otherwise I think that it can become a bit lame if you as a photographer also expected to write. Photographer and journalist are two professional roles work best if they are separate.
It was in the fall as Olof Ohlsson did his internship at Göteborgs-Posten. Currently, he is at Norrköping Newspapers, where he has his final internship.
GP’s Lisa Thanner won second prize in the portrait for his photo of Freddie Wadling. Freelance photographer Jonas Tobin also reached him a silver place in this year’s Swedish reportage category. His reportage about Kim Bostrom who has Down syndrome were published during the summer in GP.
