My name is Caroline Ygge. I am a photographer based in Goteborg, Sweden, who transitioned from a career in law to pursue my passion for photography. Through my lens, I explore emotions, stories, and the beauty found in transient moments.

My aim is to evoke emotions, spark interpretations, and inspire viewers to dream.

studiocy.se is my online photo gallery and in December 2023 I opened a Showroom & Gallery at Karl Gustavsgatan 19 in Goteborg, Sweden.

I like the multi-dimensional, I always have. I feel frustrated when I have to put all my focus in one direction for too long. There is always so much more to explore. So, some years ago I decided to quit my position as partner in a law firm and explore the world outside business law. Since then I have climbed some mountains, studied anti-corruption at the university and last but not least developed my interest in photography that I have had since young age, almost always carrying a camera with me. I have been lucky to participate in classes with extraordinary photographers as instructors and learned immensely from instructors and fellow participants. Below you find a selection of classes and workshops I have participated in during recent years:
