Mi and the enchanted light

If you have seen my photos before you have definitely seen this girl more than once. Her name is Mi and she is one of my best friends. She is also one of my absolute favorite models to shoot. She just has that thing that I love, she is fierce and soft at the same time. Maybe it's because she is also an artist (www.mitjio.com) or the fact that she is a great dancer. Today we went to the park close to where I live. I was freezing cold so we only took photos for like 50 min but during this time I got so many nice photos it's ridiculous. She is wearing a black dress that I found in an secondhand store some years ago in Copenhagen and a hat that I bought just yesterday for only 3 E. I love finding things on sale or at secondhand stores. I don't mind the fact that someone else used to wear it, on the contrary I like the fact that it has history, a story that I will never know. And I also think that we are consuming too much new material already. I think you can see that I have a great love for nature in my pictures. I find it precious and we need to treasure it more than we do today. Since I was little I have been very afraid to loose my eyes. I still remember when my teacher in first class told me that you should be carful because you only got two eyes and if you damage them you will not be able to see ever again. In a way that is how I look at the world, except that there is only one...so no second chances.

Berlin birds

Piazzale del Cimitero Monumentale

For some strange reason that I don't know I like to visit old cemeteries when I'm travelling. I was in Milan a year ago and that's when I saw the Piazzale del Cimitero Monumentale for the first time. I was struck by it's beauty and I can say that I have never seen anything like it. If your ever in Milan you should go and see it. The graves are old, beautiful and magnificent. I so wanted to take pictures there and through a friend I found Mavi (in black) and she introduced me to Ragnhild. I think the girls looked beautiful and I got some really nice images. I'm curious to know which one is your favourite photo...

Fran, Berlin

For those of you who don't know I live in the south of Sweden but a couple of years ago Berlin was my home. I lived in Mitte, on Brunnenstrasse together with my amazing friend Mi. I loved living there and exploring the vivid city. On one of my long walks I found a beautiful cemetery, that like many others in Berlin is falling apart. I thought about having a shoot there but then the long and cold winter came and when it finally became warmer again I had forgotten about the place. But a couple of weeks ago the memory of the place came back to me. I was already going to Berlin with friends for the finnisage of my exhibition Girls so I asked Cymage Models Berlin for a model and I got the lovely Fran. Maria Ehrlich did a great job on hair and make-up ( http://maria-ehrlich.tumblr.com/ )

Neda Stojanovic, Milan

I'm sorry for the silence, I've been bad at updating the blog. For some reason it's just easier to update my facebook site. ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Isabell-N-Wedin-Arty-Farty-Photography/185146198173331 )
I've been out traveling, combining pleasure and business. First I was one week in Milan where I assisted another photographer and had two photo shoots myself. It was a very nice week filled with inspiring events, lovely people and amazing food. Thank you Miyuki for your great hospitality. From Milan I flew to Berlin and two of my best friends came from Sweden. Besides a photo shoot with a German model I also attended my own Finnisage of the Girls exhibition. More people showed up than I thought were gonna and it was a pleasant evening. I've been looking forward to this trip for such a long time that I feel a little bit empty now. I love being back but there is just something about traveling. You live a little bit more, your more present and awake. But the really good thing now is that I have a lot of new photos to play around with. First of all I give you Neda Stojanovic from Crystal Model Agency (winner of Serbias next top model 2011) who I met when I assisted. We went for a walk in a park and the weather was perfect.  I love her look, with the long wild hair and the intense eyes. This is not the last we will see of this stunning girl...
