Jonas Paurell dedicates himself primarily to long-term projects, immersing himself in regions, ecosystems, or climate zones that spark his imagination and where he feels there is a need to document and share the stories. These enduring photography commitments—some of which he has nurtured for over 25 years—allow him to understand his subject matters, cultivate meaningful relationships with local communities, gain a deeper understanding of critical issues, observe changes over time, and layer his work with depth and nuance. This sustained dedication uncovers insights and truths that only time and patience can reveal.

​

In addition to his long-term endeavours, Jonas also pursues shorter conservation and artistic projects that provide opportunities for experimentation and growth. These projects offer fresh perspectives on various topics, enabling him to broaden his artistic horizons while delivering impactful photographs that highlight important or intriguing issues, or, in some cases, just capture beautiful pictures.

Jonas Paurell’s ability to balance the immediacy of short-term projects with the depth and complexity of long-term storytelling demonstrates versatility as an artist and an unwavering commitment to the craft. Each project, whether fleeting or decades-long, contributes to a larger narrative that reflects his voice and his deep dedication to documenting the natural world and humanity’s connection to it.
