“Photographing for me is a huge scene of storytelling about our whole existence and at the same time a unique love for what exactly I am shooting. All that together captured and frozen in the eye-drop crisp of a moment. In every photo I want to find the beauty in the banal and to add the mightiness to the small. Work with contradictions and the light, to give a fulfilled experience within and outside of the shooting frames.” Johan Töpel ​ New Topographics is a movement in photographic art in which the landscape is depicted without sentimental representation of the world we inhabit as being a place we do not exist in. When looking at Johan Töpels work you will find elements of commonplace situations and banal scenery. Sometimes combined with romantic seductive reflections - all set up with brilliant lighting and stunning presence in the shooting assignment. ​ Johan has worked with Johan Fowelin, Andreas Johansson, Jenny Lexander, Anti Wendel, Oscar Falk to give some examples and his main influences are Stephen Shore, Andreas Gursky and Johan Fowelin. ​ Now based in Stockholm he has worked with clients in Fashion, Art, Ads, Portraits, Architecture and Stillife and is a regular contributor to several magazines. Along with the photography, Johan also contributes in film. Not only as a cinematographer, but also as a director. ​
