Lowe H Seger is a Swedish photographer, director, and educator based in London. His practice spans portraiture, editorial, and fine art, combining photography and moving image within a concept-led framework. Seger is recognised for a rigorous process defined by technical precision, deliberate intent, and careful composition. His work frequently explores themes such as digital dependency, contemporary culture, and the fragility of human connection.
His projects encompass a range of cultural and conceptual concerns, often reflecting sustained critical enquiry. Notable series and exhibitions include Immutable, Savage Garden, and Anthology, presented internationally across the UK, Sweden, and Japan. In 2022, Seger published Not Seeing Is A Flower, a photographic investigation of the Japanese mindset. Alongside his fine art practice, he is known for intimate portraiture, having worked with figures including Stellan Skarsgård, Alexandre Mattiussi, Caroline De Maigret, Christophe Lemaire, JW Anderson, and Sir Paul Smith. His editorial commissions have appeared in Vogue (Japan, Russia, Turkey), AnOther Magazine, The Times, among others.
Seger developed his expertise early on through extensive professional practice and periods of assisting prominent photographers in Sweden, New York, and London. In 1984 at the age of 10 he got his first camera and since then photographed the world to make sense of it and his place in it. Since 2019, he has taught at London College of Fashion (UAL), contributing across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He balances his educational work with an active professional practice. His work has been supported through exhibitions, publications, and collaborations with community organisations, underscoring a sustained commitment to process, critical dialogue, and refined execution.
