Winter Sports Photographer

Mikael Helsing

After a few seasons working in the Alps, a young Swedish photographer decided to change scenery and travel with a group of friends to Spain to try to enjoy skiing and make a living from photography in the Pyrenees. It was the late 80’s, and what he didn’t know then was that he would stay and live in Spain, and that several decades later he would continue to enjoy skiing in its mountains, as well as making us enjoy his inspiring images of sport and nature. Enter, Mikael Helsing.
