We had the good fortune of connecting with Viveca Ljung and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Viveca, what is the most important factor behind your success?
To stay true to yourself, And to truly understand the connection you have to the specific field in your profession where your passion and heart goes with it side by side.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The first time holding the camera and the feeling of high it gave me, choosing my path was easy as I never ever wanted to do anything else. Has the path been easy, far from it, there has been ups and downs but it’s like falling in love, if your heart is in it nothing can hold you back and your drive is endless. So my lessons to new young artist just continue to do what you love, stay true to yourself and you will never regret.

I only do what I do because it fulfills me on every level.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When it comes to miami I always tell foreign friends not to miss out on sunset time on south point by the beach to see the magical pink light that appears right after the sunset, Later you can’t miss out on a stroll in Wynwood our above spectacular Art area that I’m so proud of as a Miami resident.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My first inspiration was my mom, handing me my first film Nikon F4 at an age of 8 telling me to capture the world with my own eyes on our travels around the world.

Second I wouldn’t be where I’m today if it wasn’t for all my amazing longtime clients that’s been by my side for 10-20 years and always loved and believed in me and what I do, Im above grateful for them all.
