Born 1976 in Örebro, Sweden, Stefan Bladh now lives in Stockholm. He frequently alternates between documentary and conceptual projects. The photo book ‘Hidden Kingdom’ comprises images taken on his travels, predominantly in Eastern Europe. As early as five years ago, LFI published a first insight into the series under the title of ‘Stasis’ (LFI 6/2012). Around three quarters of the series were shot with the Leica M6 and a 28mm lens, though Bladh has recently also started working with a Leica M10.
