INSPIRATION FOR IMAGE CREATORS – Short Films

As a photographer, or any image maker, you can choose to sit around waiting for inspiration to pop up by itself. Personally, I’m a firm believer that feeling inspired is a state of mind you can teach yourself to find when you need it. So, what can we do to get started? I’m gathering and sharing my methods and favorite creators as a resource to help keeping our inspirational juices flowing. And I invite you along for this series of “INSPIRATION FOR IMAGE CREATORS”!

Inspiration for image creators can come from so many different areas. When I saw this series of Short Films, or fables, from Five Knights Productions I just couldn’t stop watching. It transported me to another time and place, but still holding me aware… Short films can just like photography tell a story but doesn’t have hours of the viewers attention to convey the feeling and message it is made to transfer. With these fables, to me it’s especially the sceneries, the tempo, and that magical emotion that draws me in, and spits me out feeling that I want… no, NEED… to go out and continue creating my images. Right away. And that is inspiration at its best.

So here it is, the first of the KIN fabels.
Watch the second film, Salvage, here.
And the third film, Requiem, here. It’s in this third film the story ties together.

I’ve worked so hard and truly put all my love into forming something really unique for you out there and I deeply hope this will be of pleasure for so many people in the upcoming future.

“A single photograph can truly tell a full story. It holds the power to enchant us; to make us pause and reflect. It invites us to a world of emotion and intrigue and it lets us relive a story of the past or dream of what is to come. It gives us the opportunity to experience the beautiful tale of the one portrayed.”

Wouldn’t you say a portrait should be just like that? I surely do. Therefore I offer a portraiture service far beyond the usual headshot. My mission is to turn you and your story into a unique piece of storytelling art. Why hang someone else’s story on your wall as an art piece when you can hang your own!

For you who want that special something:

THE IMAGE
A portrait from me is conceptual, strong in its idea, based on and telling your unique story. I will put it in an environment where it belongs and thrives. Behind every art piece lies careful planning and an advanced digital craftsmanship to create imaginative and extra striking pieces.

A PIECE OF ART | THE PRODUCT
Truly I believe that you value quality before quantity, that you want a piece of art. Therefor together we will create one unique portrait, and this portrait will be presented as timeless prints for your wall, that will remind you about the beauty of your story every day.

HOW IT WORKS
To create a unique art work telling your specific story, each collaboration needs to be a one of a kind experience. Together we will dive into your story and through 5 clear steps we will move forward. I will use my expertise to make sure you will get a fun, smooth, and exciting experience.

I reside in Göteborg / Gothenburg, Sweden, but I surely work on location without boundaries.

And if you think someone you know would love a unique portrait of themselves and their story, please feel free to share these news!

‘SHE WALKS WITH COLOURS’ – Changing summer into autumn

‘SHE WALKS WITH COLOURS’ – Changing summer into autumn

View larger in the ‘Parallels’ gallery

“When Rania showed me the dress I knew instantly where to shoot her portrait. I had been walking by this forest path so many times, loving it but knowing that this place required a medieval or fantasy theme. And oh how that theme suits Rania.“

The dress have been in Rania’s possession for quite some time and it means something special. We had been talking about capturing a story for her with her dress for a while and suddenly we felt a sense of urgency. Why wait and not take the opportunity to capture the memory of a beloved garment, representing a special time in life that might never come back?

Also, Rania’s hair is a true symbol of this time, right now. Her dreadlocks feel so natural with her and her personality, and hair can truly be a strong expression of identity. Who knows what will happen. Some day the dreads and the dress will be gone. Why not immortalize them now and keep the memory of this time intact forever?

“The story took a while to develop, but when finalized, it feels so right, natural and obvious. Rania is a true autumn lover. Her whole appearance goes hand in hand with that wonderful time of year. And when that time appears, she truly shines.”

I still can’t help but get a huge grin on my face when thinking about the discussion we had when Rania almost… aaaaalmost… convinced me that autumn IS better than summer. And oh, I love my summer time…

So the hair, the dress, the location, the theme, the season, it all came together. Rania, with an essence of nature, of warm tones, of heart and spirit and earthiness. A person who spreads warmth and colour to everyone around her. Here it is. ‘She walks with colours’.
