Hans
Arvid Hammarskiöld (May 17, 1925 – November 12, 2012) was a Swedish
professional photographer. He was
active in most genres—for many years he worked as an industrial photographer,
but was especially noted for his portraits.
Hammarskiöld
was born in 1925 in Stockholm.
His breakthrough as a professional photographer came in the 1950s when he
worked all over the world. For some years he was employed by the British Vogue. Hammarskiöld was the
last surviving member of the group Tio
fotografer (Ten
Photographers), which was influential in Swedish photography for decades as the
illustrations agency Tiofoto.
In 2009, a selection of seventy of Hammarskiöld's portraits was on display at
the National Museum in Stockholm.
His portraits were later donated to the National Swedish Portrait Gallery.
Hammarskiöld died in 2012 in Lidingö,
east of Stockholm, after a short illness.
