Martin Edström is an award-winning Swedish photographer, journalist, and explorer. He is well-known for his trailblazing work with immersive virtual reality, including 360-degree photography, which allows him to share important global narratives in moving and inspiring ways. Much of his focus has evolved into revealing and solving some of the worldly challenges of our times and bringing his audience an intimate understanding of the forgotten corners of the planet. We get into how the pandemic has impacted life in Sweden, a major problem we have mounting in the Himalayas, how he has learned to detach from the stress and anxiety that comes with a high-profile expedition, and how one risk he took with fellow explorers ended with a life long memory (and photograph).
