My name is Göran Strand and I work as a freelance photographer based out of Östersund, Sweden.
For many years I’ve been a passionate photographer and ever since childhood I’ve been very interested in astronomy.
Many of my photos has been published by NASA’s Astronomy Picture Of the Day, SpaceWeather.com, National Geographic and many more national and international media and news agencies. My movie material has been used by Coldplay, Spitz Incorporated, Discovery Channel, SVT just to name a few.
2016 och 2013 I was awarded astrophotographer of the year in Sweden and in 2021 I won second prize in the world largest astrophotography contest Astronomy Photographer of the Year.
Since 2020 I’m working together with Nikon as one of their Nikon Creator for their new mirror less camera system. I’m also an ambassador at Focus Nordic och Leofoto.
