egg of the phoenix

Above the current issue of the Bodyfication magazine. I blogged some pictures of this series here before. (Model is Ludwig, the son of the tattoo artist Maximilian Gasolini/Inkstation, Göteborg) and again: the tattoos are painted and not real. It feels quite awkward that I have to mention this over and over but I got a lot of criticism concerning this issue.

I also discovered that one of the pictures I blogged here has been stolen by the American News Magazine “Weekly World News”. It has been hijacked without my permission or consent and is still used to illustrate a very negative article about parents illegally tattooing their kids. Neither I nor the tattoo artist nor the magazine Bodyfication has anything to do with this. Legal actions are still in progress.

While picking up the Orkus Magazine yesterday I discovered on the newsstand that one of the pictures I took of Jan Isaksson made it’s way into the fotosidan magasin.

I just found out that the German magazine “Orkus” (www.orkus.de) is featuring Mergel Kratzer with a several page interview as well as on the cover of the this months issue. I’m happy to see they choosed my pictures for that! More info about Mergel Kratzer on their website: www.mergelkratzer.de.

Here some quick test shots I took of Angelica/Thistel the other day…

Here the first part of a session I was shooting with Kelly (Avenue Modeller)  a while ago at Belle… (Makeup: Malin Karlsson)

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!)

My friend Calle is finishing his new album right now and I have been working on the CD cover and booklet the last days. I am still not done but looking forward to be able to show it soon! Above two portraits I took of him a long time ago- they are not really related to the cover but it is the closest I can show until now…

Referring to the last post here a portrait I shot of the tattoo artist Ulrik Winter- Rising Sun Graphix- who did Jan’s bodysuit. One of the portraits I took of him are also to see in the new Bodyfication issue.

I was asked to shoot the cover for the Bodyfication Magazine and saw it today for the first time. I am really happy how it turned out! I will post it in the next days! Here a very different shot from the same day with the kind and lovely Jan Isaksson!

Here some pictures of  “Mergel Kratzer“  from last week. Their new album “Isotop”  is going to be released on the 6th of November at Absynth in Göteborg. Don’t miss it!
