Construction and Engineering Awards 2026 Anders Bobert was raised in a home shaped by his father’s passion for architecture, learning at a young age about Gaudi’s Barcelona, Haussmann’s Paris, and the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930. After acquiring his grandfather’s old camera in the mid-1980s, he immediately developed a love for the craft. Once Anders started to embark on his own adventures around the world, discovering exceptional architecture through his own eyes and lens, it felt like he had returned home. Following in his father’s footsteps, Anders attended the KTH School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Here, he developed a keen interest in presentation technology and images, spending much of his time within the school’s computer room with his fellow students. As the first students to learn AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Lightwave, and Lightscape, Anders and his friends began to teach the software to the other students. Eventually, Anders and his friends went on to form their own companies, Impasto and Jagular, helping architects and developers illustrate planned buildings and building environments. Following this, he was employed by Sweco in 2000, with the task of establishing their visualisation department in Stockholm. Anders moved to White Arkitekter in 2008, working with their visualisation group for almost 12 years. During this time, architectural photography became an increasing presence in Anders’s life. Almost 15 years ago, Anders made a professional pivot. He shifted from making images of future architectural projects with 3D software and computers to capturing photographs of already built projects with his camera. Of this choice, he shared, “I love architectural photography because, just like architecture, it blends technical knowledge and precision with the artistic expression.” Now, Anders has worked within the field of architectural imagery for more than 25 years, leveraging his lifelong passion to build longstanding relationships with architects, developers, construction companies, material suppliers, and various other clients across the industry. These clients appreciate Anders’s background as a trained architect, leaning upon his unique understanding and ability to speak their “language.” For Anders, every project is a meticulous pursuit of excellence. “I try to get to know my projects by finding compositions around the building,” he explained. “I work from the outside inward, with wide angle shots from interesting angles, and move inward towards beautiful details and more tight compositions. Lighting matters very much and I always scout the location on my computer to see how the sun moves around the building. So, capturing a building can take more than one day in some cases. After a while, I really get to know the building.” These carefully honed capabilities have propelled the photographer to the forefront of The most iconic buildings around the world are instantly recognisable, even to those who have never actually visited them in person. This is largely due to the underappreciated art of architectural photography, which allows people from all corners of the world to experience locations and landmarks they would not typically get to see. This is a craft championed by Anders Bobert, a freelance photographer with a passion for architectural photography across Sweden and Europe.

Anders was given the opportunity to work with “Forskaren”, a beautiful building designed by 3XN architects and developed by Vectura. He visited the project multiple times throughout the photography process, capturing the building in different lightings and even at different times of the year. The project was named the Stockholm Building of the Year 2025, voted by the public and awarded by the City of Stockholm. Looking ahead, Anders is anticipating a busy period ahead “I have more projects planned than usual,” he announced, “which I am very glad for. Since photographing architecture consists of short projects, typically two to four days per project, I need to take many projects each year. I think this year will be a good one, despite any market uncertainty.” Over the course of his professional career, Anders has successfully demonstrated the importance of capturing high-quality images of the architectural projects being created around the world. He has preserved and immortalised the legacy of countless buildings across Scandinavia in his mission to find the perfect light, making significant contributions to the field through his art. For his unrivalled combination of visionary photography and industry-level expertise, Anders Bobert has been rightfully named Sweden’s Best Architectural Photographer 2026.
