Höganäs Summer Book Festival 2021.

I participated during two days (17-18 September) at the Book Festival which took place in Höganäs (south of Sweden) in the new restored event and exhibition hall Blå Hallen.

I could present the six photo books I published and also exhibit a few portraits of writers. Thanks to the Höganäs Book Festival team for giving me the opportunity to take part of the festival !
