Biography
In 1883 he sold his interest in the studio in Sweden and made Norwegian landscapes his exclusive area of business, working closely with the publisher Rich. Unlike many of his contemporary photographers who emphasized the dramatic nature of Norwegian landscapes, Lindahl sought in his composition the harmonious aesthetic of his subject matter. He remained active throughout the 19th century and left over 3500 negative plates. These were taken over by Anders Beer Wilse and were passed through several owners until the Norwegian government took them over in 1991 and placed them in the archives of Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo.
The recorded working language is Norwegian. Places of work recorded in the authority are Sweden and Norway. Employment is recorded with Lindahls Fotografiaffär. Work by Axel Lindahl is recorded in the collections of Photography Collection and J. Paul Getty Museum.
