Bio & Statement
Lena Bühler (b. 2000, Zürich, CH)
Based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Lena is a freelance photographer and takes on commercial assignments. Specialized in portrait, landscape and nature imagery, but also producing editorial, reportage and advertising.
She creates visual stories that document memories and travels, offering narratives that are contemplative rather than declarative. By freezing moments and emotions, she crafts calm, melancholic images that resonate with viewers on a personal level. In her work, she is exploring through a poetic angle the complexity of feelings to transcribe it into a fragment of life, still and quiet.
This slow process encourages her to reflect on daily life and focus her work around themes of intimacy and freedom. Engaging with subjects like the land and mental health, her photographs reveal a deep fascination with human nature and its connection to the environment. Her visuals are both gentle and impactful, using the language of image-making to express what is invisible, internal, or distant.
