We arrived home yesterday. I slept a lot today, and now I am currently looking through, sorting and editing some pictures from our holiday.
Nikon D7000, Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8
Andreas’ mum driving away in the snow. For some reason this was really fun to edit. Me, finding it fun to edit a picture of a car?! Oh my…
Photos that date back all the way to the 14th of May, I haven’t had the time to sit down and edit them until now (thanks for getting a cold? haha).
Anyway, back then me and my dear friend and muse Emmie went in to the studio together with my other friend Martina, who’s also the Make Up Artist for these shots -> Her Facebook page.
It was the first time for Emmie in the studio and it required some warming up but then it went just fine!

Some portraits of Emelie that I shot a few weeks ago.
I love that forest, and the light was beyond amazing <3 I am ever grateful to mother earth for all her wonders and beauty, and for the fact that I am alive to see it and create art withing it all. Thank you.
When I got an email from Rebecka asking me if I wanted to shoot their wedding, I got excited and happy; of course I wanted to! When I then met them for the first time, I knew I’d made the right
decision, we seemed to be on the same page. They had a folder with inspirational pictures, and they had even scouted a place for the shoot – I was in heaven! I got even more excited when they asked if I wanted to be with Rebecka and her bridesmaids at the hotel in the morning, while they got ready.
Something else that fascinated me and made me smile, was that Rebecka and Rickard spent the last night apart, and did not see each other again until Rebecka walked through the doors of the church. The tension, oh my – she was so happy, yet looked very calm! I glansed at Rickard who stood in front of the church, waiting – but he too looked pretty calm and just.. peaceful and happy. I knew then, that these two are really meant to be. Something came over me where I pictures myself walking up the aisle having my loved one waiting for me, and I got goosebumps! I got myself together though, and shot the lovely ceremony.
The shoot afterwards was joyful, easy and full of laughter and waay to many kisses (almost) ;)
This weekend me and Andreas went to some walks and just photographed nature, it felt great to take a break from portraiture photography! We went to a third walk tonight and my younger second cousin Selma joined us.
I spent the evening editing some pictures on my iPad, using Snapseed. Here’s the result;
“The owl of Minerva spreads it’s wings only with the falling of dusk”

Martina (my friend and make-up artist) made a mehndi owl on me last sunday. She’s been living in india and learned this lovely art. I am planning on making this owl into a real tattoo, but since it’s rather big, henna is a great way to test if it feels good first :) She did a great job!
We’ve had a fashion workshop with photographer Per Zennström as our teacher/creative director and our customer was a model agency here in Gothenburg, they are soon re-launching themselves as JO! Models. We were in groups and each group got their own model from them, and we were to make some pictures for the model, a picture for the campaign to re-launch the agency, plus a stop motion/gif and a movie.
Here’s our behind the scenes video from my group’s shoot, shot by me with my Nikon D7000, and edited in Adobe Premiere.
Such a crappy picture but amazing light and surroundings, I will definitely return there.. soon!

So today in class, we showed 6-10 inspiring pictures we like. Then we got an assignment to take something from 3 of those pictures to create a new one. These are the three ones I chose:
From the left one, I decided to pick the whole “shoot-through-glass” thingy, from the one in the middle I chose the color tones and model (sort of) and from the third one (to the right) I decided to choose the fact that it’s natural/ambient light as well as the crop, so I decided to crop my model a bit below the shoulders.
Here is my final picture which I took today, with my dear Emmie as a model (thank you for participating on such a short notice!):
Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, ambient light only.
Now, mine is a bit darker in the tones than the pic in the middle, cause well.. it was dark when I took it and I wanted to keep my style to it, and I liked this better than that light blue color. This picture is a bit different from what I usually do, probably cause we had so little time to plan it – and thus little time to hesitate and question my idea which led to me taking a series of pictures (more to come from this shoot later on) that I would never have taken otherwise. I really like this one, and the other pictures I took, as well – so in the end I’m glad we got the assignment (first I was just pissed and stressed).
Ps: looking at it now, at my blog, it feels a little bit too blue, maybe. I’m not sure. I’ll keep it like this for now. Ds.
