Portrait of a dear friend

Every morning my dog, Ella, and I go for a morning walk. One of our regular stops is at the end of the wooden pier, just south of Kalmar castle. Click on picture for a large version.

Portrait of a Zombie

We met at Stockholm Zombiewalk last year. Not a word was spoken. She just stopped in front of me and looked into my camera showing that it was ok to take a portrait. Click on picture for a large version.
Next Saturday, September 8, 2018, the zombies will one again fill the streets of Stockholm for a few hours. Visit if you can. More zombies here

Portrait of a Painter

We met at a garden exhibition. I asked him if he had painted the pictures in the background. He said “yes” and I told him that I liked the paintings and his noir-style. He told me that he had lived a complicated life, but that he had always made paintings. Only two weeks ago he had met another painter who had inspired him to develop a new style. During the past two weeks he had worked intensively and could now present a range of paintings in his new style. Click on picture for a large version.

Cajsa – March 2018

Cajsa. Winter seems to be almost over and we are working in studio testing lighting and dresses for an upcoming project this summer. Main flash – Godox AD600 with a beauty dish – up right and a second flash – SB910 – behind Cajsa for separation. Both radio controlled in TTL-mode from camera. Click on picture for a larger version.

Nikon D810 with AF Nikkor 85 mm f/1.4 G.
The setting is in a long corridor in the basement lit by fluoroscent tubes. White balance set to incandescent and the exposure manually set to EV -0.7. A speedlight – SB 910 – with a cto-gel pointing into the white wall to the left and in front of Åsa and Ella (the dog) in order to get a large reflecting area. Flash radio controlled from the camera.
The RAW-file was developed in Capture One with some minor adjustments. Mainly the white balance. I also added a rather strong vignetting to emphasize the main subject.

Ljus – 3

Tog lite provbilder inför en fotografering på lördag. Åsa ställde upp som modell. Om det är något den här sommaren har lärt en är man inte kan förvänta sig solsken. Nu är det inte så att solsken är nödvändigt för att det ska bli bra bilder, men kvällsljuset några timmar innan solen går ned efter en solig och varm dag har en vacker varm ton som gör sig bra till porträtt. Vad gör man då om det inte har varit särskilt varmt – som idag – och dessutom regnat av och till? Man tar till den lilla extrasolen i form av en blixt, t.ex. en SB900 försedd med ett orange filter.
Blixten står på ett stativ snett till höger om kameran och kontrolleras med hjälp av den inbyggda blixten i D800. Meningen var att uppställningen skulle ge en illusion av att Åsa står vid muren och njuter av de sista strålarna från den nedgående solen.
