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.

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 :)

Photographed and edited with my iPhone 4

Morning Light | In The Kitchen

Interior & Stillife, Photography 0 Comment

Photography is all about catching light, painting shapes, formes and colors on our cameras sensors with it. There is always some sort of light, natural or artificial – and the natural one change a lot during one day. Morning light is one of my favourite ones – it’s very beautiful and after a dark night, it makes me happy and full of new energy.

These images are from yesterday’s early morning. Both are shot and edited on my iPhone.

Hectic Life + A Fish

Food, Photography 0 Comment

I promised to blog a little about the past few weeks – but life’s just to busy. Anna has photo shoots every day, and that results in a lot of material to edit. So me blogging will just have to wait.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of a fish from last summer. I really wish I’d placed it in the center of that middle plank, and I have no idea why I did not do so.

I had to take a break from retouching model photographs and work with a picture I took at the end of February.

Winter, tea and cosy times

Interior & Stillife 7 Comments

A few weeks ago I did a cozy, christmas inspired still life which I photographed. Tea, candles, cinnamon and old books on a lovely blanket. I really enjoy shooting like this, working in my own pace, building/setting up a still life and then photographing it. I was a bit afraid of having the candles on the blanket though, but it all went well.

The books is a calendar and a writing journal from Paperblanks. The teapot is a grey cast iron one from Granit, and very similar to what Inara in the series Firefly use, which you can see here, and the mug is from Indiska. The blanket is handmade, a present from Rakel, a relative to Andreas.
