From Equestrian Hobbyist to PRISMA: The idea of starting a photojournalistic magazine naturally emerged from my big passion for photography, which I first discovered as a young equestrian. At the age of 12, I began to capture local competitions, both in dressage and showjumping, and after a few years I started working part-time for Stockholm Equestrian Federation as a publicist and photographer. This gave me a first taste of sport and event photography, and culminated in the opportunity to cover Stockholm International Horse Show in 2018 as my first major sporting event. Simultaneously, I also developed a growing passion for nature and macro photography, and loved bringing my camera whenever I travelled to new places.

Still, it was not until my first year at university that I explored journalism, and began to see photography as a potential professional career after my degree, rather than just a hobby. By joining Lightbox and student newspapers, I was introduced to event photography on a new level. One of the most unforgettable events that I have been fortunate enough to cover at university was the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2022, which was a major influence on the emergence of PRISMA. Being offered such an incredible opportunity through photojournalism inspired me to work with photography even more, and gave me the idea of developing a magazine dedicated to just that. Nevertheless, I undoubtedly still see the most important moment for me as a photographer to be when I first discovered the niche of theatre photography during a St Andrews production of Eurydice in March 2022.
