For all of you who couldn't be there (especially for you mom)

Now it's been more than a week since I was in Berlin for the opening of the exhibition GIRLS. It's a photographic exhibition that I've put together with the German photographer Manolo Ty. I was happily surprised that so many people showed up and also wanted to talk with me in person. It's been such a long time since I took part in a photographic exhibition and it was so much fun. A lot of my Berlin friends showed up but I also know that a lot of the people who wanted to be there couldn't. So I have decided to post all the photos that were included in the GIRLS exhibition here, I hope you enjoy. As I'm writing this post, 10 of the photos from the Berlin edition are on their way to Istanbul. Thanks to Manolo Ty's great connection with galleries, a smaller version of GIRLS will also be show there at this place: http://www.photoworldfotografmerkezi.com/

Ina and the last breath of Summer

When I find a location I can not really describe why it speaks to me, why I find it interesting. I think it's just an instinct, a feeling in my stomach that tell me that it's a great spot. I have just learned to trust that feeling and beleive in it. It's the same with people that I bump into now and then. So when I, one late Summer evening, hungry for a snack went into Burger King and saw Ina I just knew she would be great to photograph. It's a good thing I'm a woman because I can just do that, ask random, beautiful girls on the street if I can photograph them without them thinking I'm a pervert. Anyway, this last weekend I finally had time to take Inas portrait. She really understood that bohemian, dreamy feeling that I was aiming for. These pictures are my favorites...

A lazy afternoon in my apartment

Two friends on mine, Elina and Madelene came to visit me one afternoon. After drinking tea and eating homemade cookies we decided to have a small photoshoot. They have both been helping me out this summer so it felt nice to give some back. These are my favorites...

Madelene

This beautiful young woman is Madelene. About a month ago she saved me when I still the day before a big wedding didn't have an assistant. With very short notice she said yes and she proved to be very good at assisting. To thank her I took her portrait on the way home after the wedding. Madelene also enjoys taking pictures but hasn't modeled that much. I think she did really good and there is something very pure about the way she moved and posed.

Ida-Johanna "The Artist"

This is my friend Ida-Johanna who came to visit a couple of weeks ago. For fun we did a photoshoot in my living room. She wore my new favorite dress (the black one) that I got the same day at H&M. I'm planning on wearing it next moth at the opening of my exhibition in Berlin.

Ida- Johanna is a very interesting artist and you should definitively check out her work at:

I wanna run with the wild horses

Wild horses, I wanna be like you, throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too. Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to. I see the girl I wanna be, riding bare back, care free along the shore, If only that someone was me, jumping head first headlong without a thought, to act and damn the consequence. How I wish it could be that easy, but fear surrounds me like a fence, I wanna break free, I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses /From Natasha Bedingfield's Wild horses

Sandy romance

Next month I will be exhibiting in Berlin together with another artist. I will write more when I have more info. But I would like to know which one of these three self portraits you think I should show? Or should I exhibit two ore all three of them? I would love to know what you think. / xoxo
