My name is Göran Strand and I work as a professional photographer out of Östersund, Sweden. I've been working as a photographer since 2002 and my passion for photography and astronomy has always been a big part of my life.

My photo and movie material has been used by Coldplay, Discovery Channel, MSNBC, NASA, National Geographic, Spitz Incorporated, SpaceWeather.com, SVT (Swedish national public TV broadcaster) and featured on many online news agency's and magazines.
