Old, rusty and worn

There’s just something about us photographers, we find old, broken and worn things so beautiful and inspiring. We’re also hoarders – collecting all kinds of weird objects we can find/buy for the use of photo props, backdrops etc. Me and Andreas saw an old, rusty bike yesterday – and both of us just had to photograph it. Besides being worn by time and weather, it’s colors and the fact that it stood alone in the rain made it even more beautiful and photogenic.

Remember that I shot the wonderful Isabella a while back? We did shoot a second outfit at that time, and I finally had the time and inspiration to finish a few images.

Garden of Moyen

Miscellaneous, Photography 2 Comments

Moyen, or Lillemor as is her real name, but everyone calls her Moyen (I can’t remember why) – is my moms cousin. She’s an amazingly creative person, she sews, paints, creates things with mosaic, is great in the kitchen but most of all in her garden. It’s really big (growing bigger) and whenever we arrive, there’s a lot of new stuff and changes going on. As always – I stroll through it with my camera, always finding lovely and inspiring things to photograph! This time, she also gave a tomato -and chili plant for me and Andreas to cultivate on our balcony!

Marine Still Life

Interior & Stillife 5 Comments

I joined Anna for a shoot out in the archipelago, outside of Stockholm, last thursday. We were on a small island named Möja – and there were a lot of little boat houses, delivery trikes and other picturesque things. It was a stressful day, we had few hours to create a lot of images – but I managed to snap a few still lifes with my phone. I really liked the shapes and colors of what I saw. I just had to take the time to photograph it.

Had I know when editing, that I’d run these two images together, I might have edited the net to be more blue like the door on the picture on the right – but oh well :)

iPhoneography

Diary, Photography 2 Comments

I’ve had the opportunity to see a lot of new, inspiring places and environments during my internship. Unfortunately, there’s been no time to use (or even bring) my camera along. This has resulted in me feeding my creative hunger by photographing, and also editing, pictures on my iPhone – and I’ve realized I really like it. It’s a very sufficient supplement to my dear Nikon, and I’ve captured a lot of things I’ve seen with it – that would otherwise have been left and lost forever, since I’m most likely not returning to a lot of these places.

Sure, the quality of the images is not good enough to print big or to use in serious/work-related purposes – but they serve their purpose more than well to feed my creativity and lust to photograph and also to show my sense of composition, light and colors. Thus, I’ve given iPhone photos their own album on my FB page - and I might even upload some to my website.

I thought I’d share some of them on the blog too – they’ll get post of their own though, cause I want them to be blogged in to their rightful category – stay tuned!

A Weekend In May

Diary 2 Comments

weekend_panorama As I said in my previous post, Andreas came up around 13.00 on Friday. We started the day by walking through old town, to Söder where we had something to eat (pizza!). Then we strolled around in the sun, and ended up at café String – a really really nice place where we sat for quite some time. Then we strolled back through söder and took the subway home.

Once home, we joined Birgitta out on the balcony and had some refreshments while we just relaxed – it was rather hot and Andreas was tired after getting up early and sitting on a train for a few hours, even though he had a great experience traveling with Blå Tåget.

I found Isabella on instagram, a photographer I follow posted a picture of her and I immediately fell in love with her looks and contacted her. After that, I started to ponder on how I wanted to photograph her, and I did a moodboard on Pinterest. All the models I’ve photographer have always been styled in a pretty female fashion, so I wanted a more androgynous styling this time.

Easter Holidays

Diary 0 Comment

Happy Easter everyone! I hope your holidays has been great – mine has! Me and Andreas spent a lot of time outdoors, wandering, enjoying the sun and sighting a few signs of spring. Besides that we’ve been doing nearly nothing besides relaxing, eating a lot of candy and good food. We spent some time with my parents during the weekend at it was a lot of fun. What have you been up to?
