MAV GUTARRA
Sweden
I’m Mav Gutarra, a Stockholm-based film photographer. I grew up in the 1980s surrounded by 35mm film because my father is a photographer. I got serious about photography in 2016, when I bought a 1971 medium format Hasselblad, and I’ve worked with a single lens for nearly a decade since. My work centers on black and white portraiture and new takes on the still life, shot entirely on analog film with studio lighting. For me, film and light are a way to explore life, death and what lies beyond them. Shooting film makes me think more like a painter than a photographer. A daily meditation practice shapes how I see: my aim is to make every moment infinite, so the images feel cinematic, classic and quiet. Through my studio, Portrait By Maverick, I’ve photographed for TEDxStockholm, Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Nyheter, and my work has been reposted by Kodak. I’m also a member of the artist collective The 3rd Public. My debut solo exhibition, Still Eternal – Memento te Aeternum Esse, opens November 20, 2026.
