egg of the phoenix

After not posting for a long time here some quick previews of a series I shoot with Thistel in the beginning of the year. More to come…

We were out yesterday to do the outstanding shooting in the snow for this year- and yes, it was really, really cold! I had the chance again to work with Julia Krantz who made two amazing outfits and in the last moment two pairs of huge, matching boots as well. We were shooting on a frozen lake in Lerum with two models from ModelOne, Therese and Alex, who were both doing a fantastic job although they were barely dressed and it was incredibly cold. We had organized before that we were allowed to use a football clubhouse there, to fix hair and makeup and warm us up, which was a definite lifesaver. Great fun!

A while ago I had the pleasure of shooting the 2nd time with the german model “Babalon Salome”, who came for a visit to Sweden. Above some of the shots. (Make up by Angelica Klüft.)

I had the pleasure to work with the tattoo artist Maximilian Gasolini (www.inkstation.nu) lately- both children are actually his kids. Above two of the pictures! (For non-swedish speakers- “far” means “dad”…)

(I just got some comments about the tattoos- just to clarify – the tattoos are in fact painted- not real tattoos!)

I just got done editing a series I shoot in cooperation with Mattias Pettersson who did the styling. We shot on a rainy day in the palmhouse  in Göteborg with the artist Jonathan and the gorgeous model Kelly/Avenue Modeller. I will upload the whole series to my website on the weekend, above the preview…

I have been doing some pictures for the tattoo and lifestyle magazine bodyfication. Above is an article about the barbarella vs. shock event. There is more to come in the November issue which I can’t post so far…

It took me forever to get on with this small and colorful series I shot in Iceland. Finally here they are! More on my website!(model: katrin Þóra /eskimo models; hair & makeup: eva hrönn hjynsdóttir, clothes by naked ape/ iceland)

I am back from an amazing trip to Iceland now!

Back in Göteborg I had a shooting yesterday for the TES spring/summer collection 2010. Went great and was a lot of fun! It will take quite some time until I can show the pictures but here the catalogue/folder I did some time ago for the autumn/winter collection 2009 for TES hats.

Models are: Christine Jansson and Hera Björk Hafsteinsdóttir;  Makeup by Lydia Gerlam

Here the pictures taken at the play-piercing performance at the store “Shock” in Göteborg. It was the first time for me shooting in front of an audience and a little awkward I have to admit… So basically I was shooting in a time frame of 30 min – you can see some of the people watching in the first picture. Model is Thistel and the piercings were done by Ola and Wille from Barbarella.

I just came from a meeting with the guys from Barbarella. I will be working with them again on the coming Saturday for a play piercing event in the store “Shock“. Model is going to be lovely Thistel and I will be photographing her getting needles through her body…
