“Philip brings a rare blend of creativity, clarity, and authenticity to his talks. When we invited him to speak about his photography at the annual trade show for Götaplatsens Foto in Gothenburg, he captivated the audience with both his visual work and his personal approach to storytelling. His perspective is fresh, grounded, and genuinely inspiring—a perfect fit for the Fujifilm community.”

“Inviting Philip Liljenberg as a guest lecturer at KV Konstskola was a true highlight for our students. His ability to seamlessly blend storytelling, photography, branding, and creative entrepreneurship gave our class a unique and inspiring perspective on what it means to work in the creative industries today. Philip’s talk was not only filled with practical insights from his work with La Mer Nordique, Studio Torn, and his freelance practice, but also infused with warmth, honesty, and a deep understanding of artistic integrity. He speaks to students on their level, encourages bold thinking, and leaves a lasting impression. I’d gladly welcome him back anytime.”
