Lars Tunbjörk is probably Sweden's most famous Photographer. I stumbled across his book 'Home' (published by Steidl in 2003) in the library months and months ago and have had it ever since. Tunbjörk is essentially a documentary photographer but his work, especially 'Home', is very personal and intimate.
"I wanted to be strictly documentary, but it's all about me" is a quote that sums him up nicely.
'Home' is more of an exploration of his childhood surroundings than a comment or document of middle class Swedish suburbia and is much more refreshing because of it. Now all I have to do is find a copy for less than £400 and i can finally return it to the library!
