Shutter-life is Henrik Johansson – photographer, digitization developer and master of adaptivity
This is the place where I write about my photography. I plan to not only publish photos, my aim is to also tell the story behind them. I feel that this aspect is often missing in many photo blogs. When I see an incredible photograph, a number of questions immediately pop up. Where and when was the photo taken? How was it taken? How did the photographer think before the shot? How was the photo post processed? That are questions like these I’ll try to answer. However, when time is scarce, I might just post a couple of photos that I like.
You can find more of my photography over at Flickr. Also, don’t forget to look at the gallery sections here at shutter-life.

I have previously also used both both the Pentax K100D and the Canon 40D with various lenses.
To support my photography, I work as a digitization developer at The National Library of Sweden. At the library, I spend my time working with workflows, image quality, metadata, digital asset management, and much more.
I also got a PhD degree in Scientific Computing. If you ever need to know something about adaptive solvers for partial differential equations, I’ll happily help you out!
