Claes Axstål

I am a photographer, using my own developed Airborne Flash Photography system. My specialty is to illuminate aircraft & boats in full action. I do photograph other topics as well. I grew up playing with cameras and flash bulbs…, at my father’s photo store "Foto Man" in Gothenburg, Sweden. In the early 80s I started my professional photo career photographing skiing and wanted to find my own style using medium format cameras and flash on the mountain sides. Ever since my trademark has been stunning sunsets with perfect illumination of sports, travel, boats, automobiles and aircraft in their real environment. Started my company "Carpe Momentum Photography" in 1982. With the new millennium I wanted to take my flash photography to new heights and first thought to prove it for the aviation industry and then of course with the same realistic photography action as I ones pioneered flash photography of skiers in the high mountains.
