Lina Scheynius is a photographer and writer based in London. Born in 1981 in Vänersborg, Sweden, Lina first starting taking photographs on her father’s camera. At 16, she left home to study and soon began a career as a model, but after becoming disillusioned with the experience, she turned the camera on herself and those closest to her. Since then, her work has gained an international following and her self-produced books are highly sought-after collectibles which quickly sell out. Among the publications and fashion designers who have commissioned or featured her work are: British VogueAnOtherDazedThe Violet BookLove Magazine, the British Journal of PhotographyWallpaper*, Chloë, Orla Kiely and Jil Sander. Lina’s photographs have been shown in exhibitions across Europe and in the USA and Japan. In 2012 she wrote a weekly column for ZEITMagazin. MY PHOTO BOOKS, a boxset of her self-published books (01-11), was published by Jean Boîte Éditions in November 2019. 

DIARY OF AN ENDING, a book of prose and photographs, will be published in the UK by Prototype in 2023.
