The photo sessions - late summer of 1975

These well known photo-sessions were taken in the part of Stockholm called Djurgården in the late summer of 1975. The place is the restaurant "Ulla Winblad". Agnetha & Frida were posing outside the restaurant. Benny & Björn can be seen sitting at one of the tables. Pictures from this session were used on the French compilation LP "Golden Double Album".

 

The "Greatest Hits" photo sessions

These well-known shots were taken outside the restaurant "Ulla Winblad" on Djurgården in Stockholm. The restaurant area has been changed during the years but the building is still the same.

How to get there

 

The "Greatest Hits" photo sessions - the canon

These photo sessions were taken outside "Sjöhistoriska Museet" (The National Maritime Museum) situated not far away from Kaknästornet.

 

The "Greatest Hits" photo sessions - the door

We found the door. Mission impossible!... almost. The door is the main entrance to "Sjöhistoriska Museet" (The National Maritime Museum) in Stockholm.

 

The Bravo photo sessions in Vallentuna

The Bravo photographer Wolfgang Heilemann took an extensive photo sessions with ABBA in Vallentuna outside Stockholm where the four group members lived by that time (until 1975). The photos were taken behind Agnetha's and Björn's house.

 

The early ABBA photo session, Lilla Essingen island in Stockholm

At the beginning of 1970s Agnetha and Björn had a flat on the island Lilla Essingen in Stockholm. Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida posed for a photo session some day in 1970. In the background can be seen Västerbron (West Bridge) and the church of Högalid (with two towers).

Exactly the same position as Björn.

That's what they saw when they posed for the photo...

 

The Bubbi session - Gamla stan

In the summer 1974 German pop photographer Wolfgang Heilemann took several photo sessions with ABBA in Stockholm. One of them was taken on Järntorget in the Old Town.
