Carl von Platen (photographer)

Carl Ludvig Gustaf von Platen (April 14, 1863 – February 27, 1929) was a Swedish aristocrat, photographer, and writer. He is historically recognized for his pioneering, yet controversial, body of homoerotic photography, created primarily in Stockholm in the early 1900s, which led to his legal prosecution.
