During his two decades as a contributing photographer for Vanity Fair, Swedish lensman Jonas Fredwall Karlsson has covered vast ground, from Timbuktu to Ground Zero. Lauded by the magazine as a “visual mastermind,” he has captured iconic images of then-Senator Barack Obama in his Capitol Hill office to the late actor Robert Redford at his Utah estate. He has also scaled mountains and braved big waves to capture the spirit of extreme athletes, including Sir Edmund Hillary.
One of Fredwall Karlsson’s lesser-known works can be found in New York‘s peaceful and affluent seaside enclave of Sag Harbor, a couple of hours outside Manhattan, where he has spent nearly a decade restoring and modernizing a charming 144-year-old home.
