1958 formed the now legendary group of ten photographers. They were a bunch of young guys who all had chosen to try to live as reportage photographers.
The ten members were:
Sten Didrik Bellander
Harry Dittmer
Sven Gillsäter
His Hammarskiöld
Tore Johnson
Hans Malmberg
Pål-Nils Nilsson
George Oddner
Lennart Olson
In 1959 a group of ten photographers called Tio Fotografer started a stock photo agency they called Tiofoto. The idol was the French photo agency Magnum formed 1947. The agency provided a common forum where the ten photographers could display and sell their images. Tiofoto was very successful both in Sweden and abroad and came to have a huge impact on Swedish photography. Through the years a lot of talented photographers have been affiliated with the agency. In 2005 the Tiofoto collection was included in NordicPhotos and today there are about 50 photographers connected to the collection. Tiofoto lives on with the ancient and classic side as well as the new, photographers such as Tina Miguel, Torbjorn Larsson, and Mattias Nilsson.
