Mattias Fredriksson

Mattias Fredriksson is one of the most prolific adventure photographers of our time. For the past quarter-century he has travelled the globe with some of the world’s best skiers, mountain bikers and outdoor athletes on assignments for a vast array of editorial and commercial clients.

With a strong dedication to document real stories, Fredriksson combines his skills as a photographer and journalist like few others.
