Live TV interview for Kamera & Bild at Fotomässan 2015 – ‘CREATIVE PORTRAITS WITH JENNY JACOBSSON’

 
 

A very pregnant and happy me was interviewed directly from the tv studio in the fair hall at Fotomässan (Photo Fair) 2015 by Kamera & Bild about how I work with my creative and imaginative portraits.

Fotomässan Stockholm is the biggest photo event of the year in the Nordic countries and Kamera & Bild interviewed fantastic photographers like nature photographer Mattias Klum, Pieter ten Hoopen, Emma Svensson (Rockfoto-Emma), LisaLove, and Sophie Odelberg. They were also showing the latest technique, and discussing photo trends. See my live TV interview above and check out the other interviews at Kamera & Bild.

I was invited to do 2 different talks during the event and the other one is a talk at the big stage for Moderskeppet on ‘The road to creative images that evokes emotions’. You can watch it here!

In the spotlight of ‘f11 Magazine’ – 27 page feature and interview

Posted on by jennyjacobsson

In the spotlight of ‘f11 Magazine’ – 27 page feature and interview

“Jenny Jacobsson is a Swedish photographer from the city of Gothenburg. Her mission is to create a narrative, using expressive and emotional imagery. From concept, through construction, capture and post production, her images hint at stories where the impossible really does becomes possible. It’s a far cry from her previous work in neurobiology and the satisfying result of a decision to follow her heart and embrace her passion for creating conceptual imagery.
Jenny Jacobsson – Storyteller“

Tim Steele


That is the description for the big feature and interview in f11 Magazine, written by publisher and creative director Tim Steele. I’m so happy to have been given the opportunity to be part of this amazing magazine written all the way from the other side of the globe, in New Zealand. In this October issue the magazine covers images taken from all across Australia (winning work from AIPP APPA Awards 2014), to the desert in southern Africa (Joshua Holko), finding its way to the northern climes of my home in Scandinavia, reflecting the global approach by f11. And it’s exciting!



Some of my favorite interview questions from the feature is

• Your subjects obviously inspire you to tell their stories, but what external sources also influence or inspire you?
• I see strong conceptual pre-visualisation in the creation of your images, does the idea always survive the migration to the capture process?



If it’s hard to read from the images, read the full 27 page feature and interview here:

Issue 37 | October 2014 , page 94-120

I want to give a shout-out to Tim Steele, for being such a nice person and a terrific editor to work with. Thank you!

A year to remember – 2012, part 1/4

What a marvelous year it was, 2012. So filled with new experiences, new friends, challenges, and most of all, love. Here’s a little summary!

1 – It happened January 1st. 30 seconds into the new year, while watching the fireworks fade over Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Andreas got down on one knee and asked me to become his wife. The answer couldn’t have been any more obvious! The wedding is in June 2013…

Meritus Pelangi, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Malaysia,

2 – At Fotoskolan Göteborg (Photo school Gothenburg) I constantly greeted new challenges, here photographing e.g. architecture with flashes. Instructor the oh so kind Hendrik Zeitler.

Göteborg, Kuggen, Lindholmen, arkitektur

3 – My project “Movie Title Stills” with behind-the-scenes shots.

4 – A collaboration with the talented Art Director Leo Dal and Copywriter Mike Stranéus for Livlinan. A big thank you to the model Daniel Liljedahl!

5 – My favorite instructor through both years at Fotoskolan was David Bicho. Both because of his sense of humour as well as for the many, MANY, things he tought me about light.
