When I finally get a reason to put on some decent clothes of course the weather sucks. I rushed out in to my garden anyways to take some quick shots. But because of the rain the lense turned blurry so the pictures are not what I want them to be. Anyways, this week I've been to me and my sister's new apartment almost every day. We have been painting and cleaning and renovating and I actually took a few photos of the process. So I have had some time to be creative the last few days. Will publish them when I have time to edit.
I forgot to link to my text about my experiences at the New York Film Academy this summer. This is one of the biggest travel agencies in Sweden. Unfortunately (for my NYFA friends) the text is in swedish, but still pretty cool that they asked me to do it. Read more about how I developed my interest in photography into a passion and a lifetime project HERE
A fast shot before running to the bus. Not very imaginative but at least something. The outfit of today. Freezing. I needed to comfort myself from the terrible thought that the winter will be here soon.
So i bought me some coffee and a cinnamon bun, while studying eager and hard. Not.
But I will, the day before deadline as usual.. Sigh.
Since I haven't shot as often as I want to due to different circumstances I will now start a new category: outfits. Not very innovative, you've seen it before in different fashionblogs, but It's a way to force myself to take pictures several times a week. Plus it's the kind of pictures I need most practice of. Pictures of people, portraits and so on. It is also these photos I enjoy when i scroll thru other blogs. Here are a few links to blogs that takes really good (meaning: no photoboot, Iphone or blurry digital camera) outfit pictures :
I'm moving, working, working out and I'm starting school this week. But as soon as I have more time I will go for a shoot. Please friends, let me know if you want to model for me. I need objects to practice on!
This saturday I went to the Stockholm photography museum (Fotografiska) and was compeletly blown away. I don't know if it's because I went to the Film Academy and learned to see fine-art photos in a different way, or if the photographers was just amazing. I think it could be a combination of the two. What I do know is that I have a new name to add to my favorite photographer list; Christer Strömholm. His photos from the 50's and 60's of the prostitutes and transgenders in place Blanche, Paris are breathtaking. I wish I was rich so I could buy one or two of them to have in my apartment. But since I'm not, I settled with buying the book "Les amies de Place Blanche." Beautiful, tragic and crazy inspirational. One day I will have the knowledge and (above all) the confidence to take pictures like these...
I've seen him with girls of the night And he told Roxanne to put on her red light They're all infected but he'll be alright Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
