Everyday photos.
May 15th, 2013
When: Tuesday, May 7, 2013.
Where: Järntorget, Gothenburg, Sweden.
What: Found a shoe hanging from a tree on Järntorget and I thought it summed Gothenburg up pretty well at the moment. Everybody is photographing and instagraming the cherry blossoms and almost everyone is wearing chucks.
But hey, what’s not to like about it? Summer is coming!
October 29th, 2012
When: Sunday, October 14, 2012.
Where: Slottsskogen, Gothenburg, Sweden.
What: One of those gray and rainy october afternoons in Gothenburg.
October 8th, 2012
When: Thursday, June 28, 2012.
Where: The office of V&B Change, Gothenburg.
What: At V&B Change we have a client called Almondy, a company that makes frozen almond cakes. Recently we launched a campaign site where you can submit images of your most beautiful cake creations and win a trip to New York. Of course we needed inspirational photos of some pimped out cakes. My colleagues Joacim, Helena and Jenny all used Almondy cakes as a base and then created some awesome looking cakes. We set up a pretty primitive studio (i.e. a reflector) in our office dining area and I took some photos of the result. Thank you Diego and Lucas for the clean up and retouching of the images.
You’ll find the contest at pimpmytårta.se.
August 22nd, 2012
When: Monday–Friday, July 23–27, 2012.
Where: North of the polar circle, Sweden.
What: In late July, me and C went far, far north to the land of the midnight sun to visit family. Forests, rivers, deers, and lots of fresh air.
August 21st, 2012
When: Sunday, July 8, 2012.
Where: Masthugget, Gothenburg.
What: The same day as I snapped this photo I later found this woman standing on the hill looking over Gothenburg. I really like the warm tones and the feeling that she is searching for something. Maybe she is waiting for someone.
August 15th, 2012
When: Sunday, July 1, 2012.
Where: Prinsgatan, Gothenburg.
What: While watching the final of Euro 2012 between Italy and Spain in the street outside Bar Italia a heavy summer rain rolled in over us. Then the sun came out behind Oscar Fredrik Church and shone through those big drops making it a beautiful yet wet moment. And I must say, I really like the lightbulbs hanging across the street. One of many things making Prinsgatan one of my favorite streets in Gothenburg.
August 13th, 2012
When: Sunday–Tuesday, July 15–17, 2012.
Where: Vansö, Strängnäs.
What: We spent a few days this summer helping grandma repaint her house. These photos were shot during those days. The sauna by the lake, the orchard, the kitchen, the barn, the swing in the tree and so on. How can you not love this place?
The fifth photo is actually shot by my father. Way to go, dad! These are also the first photos from my new camera. A Canon 5D MarkII with a 50/1,4 lens.
July 9th, 2012
When: Sunday, July 8, 2012.
Where: Masthugget, Gothenburg.
What: Last night was one of those evenings that really lives up to the promise of summer. I went up to Masthuggskyrkan (a church), which is built on a hill, over looking large parts of Gothenburg. I found these two enjoying the view but most of all they seemed to be enjoying each others company. I don’t know if they were lovers or friends or whatever, they just seemed really happy being right there, right then.
July 6th, 2012
When: Thursday, July 5, 2012.
Where: Majorna, Gothenburg.
What: Last night, a cloudy and humid evening, I went for a walk through the allotments in Majorna. It’s like leaving the city when you set your foot in there — the smells, the sounds and the calm. These photos were shot with my new 50 mm/1.4 lens which I’m already kind of in love with.
July 2nd, 2012
When: Friday, June 22, 2012.
Where: Outside my home town Strängnäs.
What: A photo from my grandmothers field on a late summer evening with a dramatic sky for a backdrop. I just stuck the camera down in the high grass and snapped a few shots. When things look like this, taking beautiful photographs is the easiest thing in the world.
June 29th, 2012
When: Friday, June 22, 2012.
Where: Outside my home town Strängnäs.
What: Me and my brother went out in the middle of the night of the brightest day of the year to catch a tiny slice of Sweden at its finest.
June 21st, 2012
When: Tuesday, June 19, 2012.
Where: Sandarna, Gothenburg.
What: A sure summer sign is when the elder shrubs are in bloom. Now, let’s make some lemonade.
