A year ago…

träsket_150klarträsket_017v2klarträsket_113klarA year ago me and Kristofer had some fun running around the woods, carrying lots of stuff chased by mosquitos. It was the most amazing spring day and seeing these pics makes me happily realize that there will be some green soon even though we have been really short of it in Sweden so far. I bought every item in the pictures second hand for less than 500 SEK (except for the white chair, that one is from Ikea) and that was the whole idea, no need to go big budget every time. So with these photos I kindly ask – Spring bring it on!

More work; Kids in the house

This was an attempt to making a nice combination of all of the mentioned. Since the idea was to make it look like a spring or summer day and we shot this when it was a crazy snow storm outside, I must say Karl did a pretty amazing job with the light.

All products used can be found in the magazine and in NK Stores.

Ode no.2

With no ranking of the two, here is the second example of what has been so great to see over the past weeks. Josefin Hååg of 20 Kvadrat, who is now doing what I did before by enjoying an internship with mentor Lotta Agaton, has both styled and shot some really nice pics while playing around with Lotta´s props. I am so convinced that Josefin will be one of those stylists that we will see in the magazines not far from now as she has got that touch and drive that you so need. A talent I can´t wait to see more of. And as I have turned out to be a slave for details myself I love to see how things get better each time. Go Josefin!

Good things

I want to take this evening to celebrate some fellow bloggers and stylists that are as myself fairely new in the business. As I now know what hard work often is behind the most simple picture I especially appreciate when good things happen to good people and the two examples I´m giving are a pair of just that. It is always a combination of several things – location, photographer, stylist, circumstances, light, time and many other challenges- and just because of that a good result is impressive and fulfilling to see. Emma of Emmas Designblogg has styled these pics for a restaurant in Copenhagen and the result is very invigorating. So inspiring to see people around you making their way – go Emma! This will be the first celebration of today.
