Press, Editorial & Commercial Photographer Based in Stockholm
I’m Michael Campanella, a Stockholm-based photographer with more than 15 years of professional experience working across sports, news, entertainment, events and portraiture.
Much of my work is rooted in photojournalism. I’m accustomed to working in fast-moving environments where there are no second chances — from major sporting events and concerts to news assignments, press events and productions. Alongside my editorial work, I photograph corporate and commercial assignments, live events and portraits for agencies, organizations and international brands.
Over the years, my photography has been commissioned and published by clients and publications around the world. I’ve photographed international sporting events, musicians and performers, politicians and members of the Swedish Royal Family, as well as authors, artists and other notable personalities.

A Background in Film Production
Before becoming a still photographer, I studied photography for film and cinema and began my career working as a gaffer and grip in Scandinavian film and television.
That experience gave me a strong understanding of lighting, production workflows and working efficiently as part of a larger crew — experience that continues to influence the way I approach photography today.
I transitioned to still photography full-time in 2010 and have worked professionally ever since. Whether I’m working independently on an editorial assignment or alongside a larger production team, my approach is the same: understand what the client needs, work efficiently, and deliver strong images that tell the story.
