That’s what I love about photographs.

There’s no hiding I love images. I am crazy in love with photographs and pictures of all sorts. One single shot can blow me away, and equally a series of images can trigger a storm of emotions. My friend, Iain Bain, sent me a link to a website in preparation for an upcoming event, and [...]
 

There’s no hiding I love images. I am crazy in love with photographs and pictures of all sorts. One single shot can blow me away, and equally a series of images can trigger a storm of emotions.

My friend, Iain Bain, sent me a link to a website in preparation for an upcoming event, and I am so glad he did as I spent a whole evening going through the different stories, told by the subjects in their own words and interpreted by the photographer in his images. I would really recommend anyone to have a look and a listen to this collection of beautiful, everyday stories;  http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html

I’ve spent my Tuesday creating a story too. A story that in parts has already been told, and captured. I’ve been working on an album design for a wedding I photographed back in October (Heidi and Steve) at Nonsuch Mansion.

It’s an amazing feeling as all the images from the different parts of the day comes together in a book, which then takes you back to that moment in time and not only shows you what it looked like, but tells a story of love and laughter. Of friendships and family relations. A story that has no words but speaks so loud.

That’s what I love about photographs.

Lot’s of love. A

Here’s a few pages from Heidi and Steve’s wedding album.

I love Sweden.

You might and you might not know that I was born in Sweden. I grew up there and spent my young years in the South, living with my family by the coast. Every other year or so I try to take a few weeks out of my busy schedule and go back to this truly spectacular [...]
 

You might and you might not know that I was born in Sweden. I grew up there and spent my young years in the South, living with my family by the coast.

Every other year or so I try to take a few weeks out of my busy schedule and go back to this truly spectacular country.

So, summer of 2011 I decided to go see a place in Sweden where I’d never been before. Smögen. A little idyllic place, just north of Gothenburg, well known for its fish, prawns and other seafood, it’s long, wooden pier and beautiful, remote archipelago.

It’s a complete tourist trap in the summer months, but if you get up early there’s rewards to be had while you watch the fishermen come in with their catch as the golden sun reflects the beautiful colours of red, blue and turquoise. It’s a breath taking place and such a boost for the soul.

Here’s a few pictures from my morning in Bohuslän, Sweden.
