Well, get your cameras ready because award-winning wildlife photographer Johan Siggesson is bringing the African wilderness to the heart of Malta with his captivating photo exhibition, “Africa- Land of Icons,” hosted at the Christine X Art Gallery.

Who is Johan Siggesson?

You might be wondering who the mastermind behind this awe-inspiring showcase of African wildlife is. Well, let us introduce you to Johan Siggesson, a wildlife photographer hailing all the way from Sweden but now calling Malta his home.

Johan’s journey into the world of wildlife photography began at an early age, fuelled by his passion for animals and the natural world. However, it was a transformative safari experience that ignited his desire to capture the beauty of wildlife through his lens professionally.

Awards and Accolades

Johan’s talent behind the camera hasn’t gone unnoticed. With an impressive array of international awards under his belt, including being named the category winner in the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018 and Travel Photographer of the Year 2017, it’s safe to say that Johan is a force to be reckoned with in the world of wildlife photography.

Behind the Lens

What sets Johan’s work apart is his ability to evoke emotions through his imagery. He believes in the power of storytelling through photography, aiming to connect viewers with the animals depicted in his photos on a deeper level.

“I strive for simple and clear images where the viewer can connect with the animals depicted,” says Johan. “What emotion is really secondary as long as the image doesn’t have a specific purpose. I believe that if any kind of emotion is triggered, I have succeeded in telling a short story with my work.”
