Out Of The Sea

An early Sunday morning I did one of the last outdoor-shoots for this year for an exhibition at Beyond Retro (secondhand-store at Åsögatan, Stockholm).

Since the weather this time of year isn't the best & the light (if it can be called light) is but a few hours per day, the poor models (Isolde, Rosanna, Matilda, Adam) & the two make up artists Anna & Veronica & the hairstylist Sofie had to meet up really early on Sunday morning at Preston Hair to do the hair & make. The stylist Jenny & me & my two assistants were picked up a few hours later - lucky us!!

It was a very exciting day! A great team & good energy! We didn't know really what to expect weatherwise, concerning the location, the styling, the models or anything! Shooting, filming (for the first time), using smoke & just going bananas! We did a lot of freestyling & hoping for the rain not to start pooring down.. Everyone were freezing, especially the models in their thin outfits, but what great work they did!! I wouldn't wanna be in their shoes!.. We had to move very efficiently & unfortunately the rain came as promised at 1 o'clock so we called it a day.

Now I'm waiting for the final choices to be made so I can start with the retouch & start editing the video & 'do some magic' as we say : )

Big thanks to all the wonderful people - the whole gang - for keeping the spirits up til' the cold & rainy end!

MILO of Sweden

This time we wanted to do a bit more of a 'scale-down'-photoshoot, simple but beautiful - a beauty shoot with focus on the lovely jewelry from the remarkable MILO of Sweden.

The team this time consisted of only myself & Elva Ahlbin (make up and hair), my wonderful intern Mikaela Wasberg as my photoassistant and Petra Bäckström - a model who I scouted on the streets of Stockholm a few weeks earlier and just felt I had to shoot. And luckily she said YES! This was her first photoshoot ever and she was absolutely brilliant!
Big thanks to all & especially & as always to Kurt & M2 Studios for lending us their awesome studio again.

Autumn Masks

This is some BTS pictures which were taken during the photoshoot of Autumn Masks.

What trouble we had this time, just a few days before the shoot, the studio we were supposed to shoot in was booked & all other studios in Stockholm seemed to be too.. So in lack of a studio we moved our photoshoot outdoors to my favourite location Årstafältet, just a few meters from my backyard! As if it wasn't enough trouble being without a studio in such short notice, it was the first really cold day of the season & extremely windy. The background kept on falling down & almost on the models.. Luckily we had not only one, but three assistants to help holding the background & helping me with the light. All good things come in threes?

This time it really did.

Big thanks to the wonderful & patient models Ebba & Lovisa (Elite) & the great team for bringing it all together for this Autumn Mask's Saga on this very cold windy day.
