Kenneth Kajoranta is a Swedish artist and independent photographer whose creative background draws on documentary photography of Nordens Fotoskola and features subjective and intimate approach to search for experiences and moments of everyday life.
Working with film and digital formats Kenneth specialises in documentary photography, portraiture, and landscapes, as well as exploring boundaries and symbolisms of urban spaces.
Kenneth's photography examines unique experiences and atmospheres of absence and presence produced by everyday objects, artefacts, and elements of architecture. He uses photography to capture hidden, unseen, and fleeting encounters and transient moments of everyday life.
