89

Very talented and versatile Jaz and I met one summer morning in northern Stockholm to shoot some retro fashion images. Here are some of the frames from that shoot. I introduced some Fuji Provia feel to them to go with the theme. They bring back memories of a certain rather famous singer from a very successful Swedish music export, don’t you think? Feel free to share if you like.

Here's the story behind the shoot.

Bohemian Fashion with Karin

I met Karin one morning at what has become one of my favourite locations for bohemian fashion. We kept it simple with natural light and a softbox. Karin is really inspiring to work with and a natural in front of the camera. I think the shoot worked very well. What do you think?

Here's how the shoot came about.

Up!

Inspired by the beautiful animated story Up, Sarah and I took to the Swedish country side one cold and snowy March morning, with balloons in tow. In these conditions you have to work fast to create high quality fashion photography and it helps if you are as professional as Sarah.. and warm blankets is always a bonus.

Sarah

In between the showers Sarah Amy Eckardt and I found some time for a test shoot. Very simple setup with all natural light. Just a reflector bouncing some of the soft light back into Sarah’s face. A Canon EOS 5D Mark III and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 does the rest.
What do you think?

Solar Eclipse

It’s not every day that you get to experience a solar eclipse, if just a partial. Today was one of those days.

The forecast was for cloudy weather, so I wasn’t really prepared when I woke up to just a few light clouds in the sky this morning. Just after 9am I set off in –15C, with camera in hand, in pursuit for the best spot to see the eclipse. Found a spot a grabbed a few frames. Here’s the first, just before it all started…

New Life

One of my favourite local spots seems to be going through a bit of a change. There were actually people there this weekend seemingly busy to try to clear the area of junk and debris. The place isn’t going to look respectable anytime soon is my prediction, but at least I got the chance to shoot it again in all it’s glory. We were even a bit lucky with the light.

Here are a few of the images. It’s all natural light. Some are HDR. I’ll try to post a few more in a few days. Enjoy!

The Beach

I hooked up with very talented model (and working photographer) Marcela Diaz in August to create some traditional beach images, including bikinis and beachwear. Well, that was the plan…

The summer had been fantastic, with hot and sunny weather in abundance… until we decided to do a beach session. After a number of failed attempts we decided to give it a go.

Finally at the beach we realised just how windy and overcast the conditions actually were. We had initially talked about high contrast beachfront pictures with blue skies and a lots of sun. Instead we had to change our plan drastically.

6 Celsius

Found these images I took last year helping a newly started modelling agency and two hopeful models to start work on their books. We all dared the elements at Skeppsholmen, Stockholm in 6 Celsius and at times heavy rain in late October last year. Given the circumstances not bad at all.

Autumn is around the corner

Even though the thermometer tells me its 20C I can feel the autumn coming. It’s something in the clean air that you can almost touch. It tells me summer is finally over and its time for knitwear. So to prepare I thought I’d share some images from a shoot last autumn with lively Fanny. Enjoy!

Evening dress

Fanny wanted to take some pictures wearing an evening dress in a place where one usually don’t wear this type of attire. Interesting idea I thought and went location scouting, until I found an abandoned factory that was perfect for the job.

Equipped with my lightweight mobile setup we sneaked into the place around noon to make the best use of any natural light available, which wasn’t much at all. I think the pics turned out nicely nevertheless. What do you think?

Wireless Flash on Location

Two small flashguns, a brolly and a small grid can work wonders for almost any photo.
I tried this setup in a park in east London, UK, this weekend and am very pleased with the results from such a small and lightweight setup. Obviously, I brought much more gear than needed. But it could have been very lightweight, easily fitting into a LowePro backpack.
