Helmets & Backs at Malmö Horse Racing Tracks • Saturday 21st July

On saturday I was at Jägersro Horse Racing Track in Malmö. I work here once or twice a week as a photographer and this time I got some minutes away from my camera up in the judge tower. So I walked down the stairs to the floor below and stood on the balcony just above where the jockeys exits their dressing room and enters the race track and took some photos from an interesting angle.

 

Studio Photo shoot for Elistra Consulting • Tuesday 17th June

On Tuesday this week I had a new photo shoot in my Studio. It was a portrait shoot for Elin who studied migration and Romani culture in Sweden, Norway and England and has lectured, curated exhibitons and worked for a longer period of time for the Swedish goverment at Regeringskanliet in Stockholm. She has now started her own consultant company and I have been commissioned to do the graphic design for logo, website, business card and a portrait photograph for her website.

A major job and challange. So on Tuesday the photographs were taken which was interesting as Elin has a bit of Camera phobia. After a couple of hours and many images later both me and the client were more than satisfied. As soon as the work with editing the images, logo, website and businness card are ready I will put some image samples and link to her newly designed website here.

Exhibition in Finland coming up!

Recently got to know that I am going to have an exhibiton in November at the Photographic Gallery HIPPOLYTE in Helsinki, Finland. I visited their showroom at the Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm two years in a row and was impressed of the work they showed. Sent an application this spring with the Natura Morte suite (see post 12/4). The application was accepted and now I am starting to work with all preparations for the upcoming show.

I surrender to iPhone! • Friday 22nd June

Just before midsummer holidays my old mobile/cell phone after many years of faithful service broke down. 
I checked out different smartphones and as I am a devoted Mac user I just undersood that the best alternative for replacing my old one is an iPhone. Now after 2 weeks usage I just love it. Also after the need of having a smaller alternative camera with me everywhere I discovered the great camera it got. Soon enough I downloaded some Apps to work with the images directly in the camera. Love the quality of the images ..Wow!!

Here are 3 images taken of my parents house up in Småland where me, my daughter and family celebrated Swedish Midsummer.

Original iPhone image without editing

Image edited in Instagram

Same photo edited in another more advanced App for photo editing directly in the iPhone


A friend of mine took this quick snapshot through a window. It shows reflections and other defects in the original. For fun I edited the image in my mobile/cell phone with an App and afterwards it became a completely new image.
