More information

År 1980 fick Gedda i uppdrag av chefredaktören Bo Strömstedt på tidningen Expressen att fotografera kända svenskar till en specialbilaga. Resultatet blev en serie porträtt i studio mot vit bakgrund av de flesta av våra stora kända svenskar som fortfarande är basen i vårt kulturarv. De flesta är avbildade en och en men bilden på Hasse & Tage fångar deras partnerskap på ett fint och självklart sätt.
