With his Hasselblad camera, he captured the world in black and white—from the Amazon to Asia, from Indigenous communities to rare species. His images are timeless, respectful, and full of wonder—a visual archive of a vanishing world.

Every photo in this gallery is a snapshot from a life of exploration. Rolf Blomberg travelled across the globe in the twentieth century – from the jungles of Ecuador to the islands of Indonesia – capturing life as he encountered it: raw, pure, and full of wonder.

His black-and-white photographs are more than images. They are stories. Of people, rituals, landscapes, and encounters that have stood the test of time. With a sharp eye for detail and an open view of the world, Rolf transformed the everyday into the universal.
