More information
Hans Gedda föddes 1942 i Flen och fick sin första kamera som 12-åring. Sin utbildning fick han genom att assistera andra fotografer, inte minst Rolf Winquist i hans ateljé i Stockholm. Gedda ser själv sitt porträtt av Tove Jansson 1967 som ett genombrott. Bilden publicerades i tidskriften "Böckernas värld" för vilken Gedda även porträtterade Lars Forsell och Per Wästberg.
Han tog bilden redan i april trots att bilden skulle publiceras långt senare.
– Konstigt nog är det ingen som sett att vi var tvungna att använda plastblommor, säger Hans Gedda.
