"The artful dodger. Combining a profound artistic flair with a love of analogue darkroom techniques, Swedish legend Mats Andersson has turned his love of wildlife and landscapes into a hugely successful second career." /Practical Photography, 2020
"Mats Andersson creates images like a painting artist. Or as a poet. I will several times think of Christer Strömholm who has the same personal approach, regardless of motives." /Jönköpings Posten, 2019
"He has an important and beautiful signature in Swedish nature and wildlife photography. It is in black and white that he stages his scenes with the elegance of the greats. He owes his finesse to an ultra-sensitivity that he learned to tame by observing the works of great painters." /French Magazine Chasses Internationales, 2022
"Mats Andersson's bw contribution leaves so much room for emotional interpretation and shows the proximity to modern bw reportage photography (see e.g. Paolo Pellegrin and other Magnum and NOOR photographers). Simply not the smooth-ironed enthusiast photography, but photography with sharp corners and edges that one can discuss and think about."

"Mats Andersson is one of the most creative Swedish nature photographers of recent years. With his own, very personal image style, he approaches his subjects not to document but to find an appealing artistic expression. The images often have a very special, striking touch. Instead of being traditional depictions, animals and environments appear almost dream-like and yet completely obvious. He prefers to create the images alone during summer nights when the animals are most active. There he finds the light and atmosphere he is looking for." /Skånsk Naturfotofestival 2014
