An Eerie Selection of Photographs by Bruce Davidson

Some Portraits by Anders Petersen

Swedish photographer Anders Peteresen was born in Stockholm in 1944. In the 1960s he became a student and friend of Christer Stromholm. He is known mostly for his series Cafe Lehmitz, where for three years he photographed the visitors to the bar by that name in Hamburg, Germany. With his gritty and dark 'diary-like' style he has continued to capture raw and unlikely scenes from everyday life as well as documented members on the outskirts of society such as those in prison, mental hospitals, homes for the elderly, as well as workers at an amusement park in Stockholm.

Here are some portraits that I have found and felt that I needed to share. They are less gritty and perhaps more formally composed than many of his photographs, but they still seem to leave you with a mysteriously eerie feeling.
