Renée is quite close to “pop one out” so before that we decided to take some pictures. I just love the result, but with a smashing lady like her it´s impossible to fail. Thanks R for letting me do this, and big up for Linda that allowed us to crash the casa of the casas!
Johan Averstedt, a friend I met in Miami during a photo shoot, turned 40 the other week. I hooked up with a big bunch of people and helped him feel young again… Thanks everyone for an epic night!
On my last day in Miami I took a random walk for an hour or two with the camera in my hand. Just down at Collins Avenue the 42:nd I guy from across the street shouted for me:
“Hey man, are you a photographer?”
“Yes I am man, what´s up?”
“Yeah cool, come on over and take some pictures of us”
10 minutes later I walked away with a bunch of new entertaining stories, an ever bigger bunch of laughs and story for lifetime. Yeah I know the Americans can be a bit sketchy and shallow, but god damn I just love their outgoing way of treating life. Just love it.
Now I´m back in Sweden again with -10 degrees and introverted people.
Hmmm.
So, goodbye to 2009. In many ways it´s been a great year. I have completed a lot of different photo sessions, and meanwhile I also had the joy to meet a great number of new inspiring people. To all of you that in some way – big or small – made my year so fun, I just want to say thank you!
Looking into 2010 makes me eager to get going. Other than a number of weedings during the summer, which I already now are looking forward to a lot, my calender today contains stuff until April. During this time I will photograph a lot of different projects in Sweden, visit Miami USA twice for two quite long photo sessions (in January and April), get my stuff over to Spain for some magazine pics in March and finally, I will also try to photograph a project in New York in the end of April. The rest of the year is still open for surprises, but I hope some sweet stuff will show up during the walk.
To sum 2009 up I`ll post 12 pics, one from each month that has passed. Maybe not the best ones seen from a professional eye, but somehow I still like them a lot.
Mr. Katzenellenbogen with friends onboard (yes, we actually were on a boat…) arranged a sweeeeet new years celebration. Excellent food, totally skilled party people and an endless amount of alcohol made the night complete. Strandvägen was the perfect spot for watching the massive fireworks at midnight, magic stuff! Afterwards we all went all in on the hot shots….Happy new one folks!
The last couple of weeks before Christmas I shot som studio jobs. It´s not my typical kind of job nowadays, but still a great deal of fun to feel the connection with other people in the studio. One of the projects (which I for some reasons can´t tell that much about right now…) will end up in some graphic work for a media company. I hardly can´t wait to see the result and as soon as it´s ready I will post it on the blog. Meanwhile, enjoy a test picture!
A good friend of mine, Axel Ekblad, is the producer of a theatrical performance called “A Christmas Carol” (see www.christmascarol.se for more info). The past weekend I shot some press and advertising pictures for the show. It was I quite different job compared to want I usually do, but a great deal of fun! We had a session for a bit more than six hours and here below are some of the pictures we got. Now – book your tickets and prepare for an amazing show!
