Yes..I love Mad Men

A couple of days ago I spent several hours in a studio here in Malmö. With the help from the wonderful make-up artist Heidi Edberg (www.heidiedberg.com) I had two very different beauty shoots. I also borrowed some hats from my friend and designer Nene (www.nene.nu)
The pictures you see in this post is from the first round that was a little bit inspired by my favorite tv-show right now, Mad Men. The model Josefine is a dear friend of mine and I knew that she would fit perfectly in the theme. She has a beautiful classic face and the body to go with it. She is my version of Joan Holloway. Enjoy...

Freaky fairytale party!

Winter has arrived in Malmö and it's quite cold. But that has of course not stopped me from taking pictures outdoors of people with not so much clothes on. That is one of the worst things about this country. The weather could be a lot nicer so that my models didn't have to freeze their asses of as often as they do. This time it was the super tall and beautiful Bellas turn. We spent around 2 hours taking pictures by the sea and in a park.

When she's not modeling for me or someone else she runs this cool and entertaining blog that you will find at http://www.jesushasherpes.blogspot.com/ Check it out!

Hello new image size

Most of the time when I take pictures I like to keep it simple and small. Very often it's just me and the model. Sometimes I do her makeup and hair but usually she does it herself. Often I don't have an assistant but I like it that way. The bigger things get the more pressure there is and the more pressure there is the more I lose my passion for what I do. But of course I also enjoy a challenge and I don't what to say to much right now but I just been asked to take part in something big and I'm excited. Maybe I will tell you more in a near future. Until then I hope you will enjoy these latest pictures of Fanny.

A moony garden in Berlin

Once again I have been in Berlin and once again I took photos of Cosima, my German friend. We walked around in Tiergarten and several times we found ourselves completely alone. That is one of the things I love about Berlin. It is so spread out and green that you sometimes forget what a big city it is. I went and saw the Peter Lindbergh exhibition at C/O Berlin. On a wall they had printed an interview with Lindbergh and one thing that caught me was that he spoke about how you as a photographer always return to the surroundings of your childhood. If you grew up in a city that is most likely what you would like to photograph and I believe that's true. For me it's the opposite, I live in a city because I feel like I have to and off course I like it in a way, but it's in nature that I grew up and it's there that I feel most at ease. And there is something mysterious about nature, it's not something we have created. I just can't help myself for coming back for more.
