    ‘THE REFLECTION OF AUTUMN’

    Here are a few behind-the-scenes images from the making of “The Reflection of Autumn”. October 30th… a cool autumn breeze rattles leaves fallen to the ground. The world is a mixture of red and yellow. A forest pool of water is quietly hiding secrets of the summer past. Sunken down into the cold depths. There…

  • Face fusion

    Face fusion

    On Monday we at Fotoskolan Göteborg got the neat task of taking a portrait of oneself and a classmate and then in Photoshop fuse them together into one new person. I loved the challenge of using a proper blonde to contrast my own brunette type. And I couldn’t resist to create two new persons instead…

    To enjoy travelling alone… with your only friend Camera

    In June 2011 I went to Prague, the goooorgeous capital of the Czech Republic, on business for the DNA analysis company I work for.

    Following inspiration overseas – Rosie Hardy workshop

    When I first bought my DSLR (and we solemnly named it Cameron…) I was intrigued by what I could create with it. And I was amazed of what a difference the change from compact did to my photos. Out of curiousity I visited the Flickr Explore page that I’d heard would be a great source…

    Our Paris in springtime

    April 2011. Our so well planned 2.5 week trip to Japan was of course cancelled due to the horrible tragedy that hit the east coast there a few weeks earlier. So… what emergency trip could we come up with on such short notice… during spring… not so far away… for relaxing but still a lot…

    To freeze a little for the greater good

    View it on Flickr “I had my doubts before doing this shot.” First of all it’s been the coldest start of a winter I’ve experienced since I moved to Gothenburg/Göteborg. With weeks of -10°C (already in November) I lay in my bed at night thinking about maaaybe putting on a summer’s dress and make good use…

  • Levitation

    Levitation

    And so it was time to answer the next question from my dear readers, and this one is from the delightful Anders Bergkvist, who wrote me a comment in You ask, I tell – The Force of Nature where he wondered “How did you create the levitating impression of your first Flickr Explore image?” (above). THE…

  • The Force of Nature

    The Force of Nature

    Every now and then I get questions from my beloved blog followers, Flickr contacts, and/or friends about how I did something, why I did another thing, what my inspiration was, if I got caught doing that incredibly embarrasing thing… And I now think it’s time to start my You ask, I tell! And it’s just…
