The work of Melbourne-based Swedish photographer Viktor Nilsson is both ambitious and expansive, covering a variety of genres from fashion to sport, portraiture to corporate photography. Regardless of variations in his subject and audience, Nilsson's photographs can be recognised by their commitment to composition and simplicity. Having studied and exhibited in both Sweden and Melbourne, his work demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of photography's technical side, but with a keen awareness of its commercial and artistic potential.
Nilsson's belief in the importance of enjoying the photographic process - and the necessity to translate this into his images - results in a body of work that is at once sophisticated and alluring.

Most recently, Nilsson's credits include photographing the Australian Open and Nordic Windsurfing championships for commercial publication. Following a group exhibition he will be participating in later this year, Nilsson plans to expand his career in New York and Europe in 2010.
