Here's a little sneakpeek at my newest project.

I've been invited by one of my favorite photographers and mentor to join a group of 14 photographers and each of us are going to create a photography book during a 6 month period. I will describe my theme later on and post more photos as my project evolves. But here are a few of the very first photos I've taken at my first location. (It involved a 4 hour busdrive each way and knocking on complete stranger's doors, but an extremely fun and exciting experience so far.)

More to come ..

The Places We Go

As you might have noticed, I love being out in nature taking pictures.

And I'm so lucky that my man has this amazing place we can escape to. It's deep into the woods, overlooking a magnificent lake and surrounded by mountains. We love going there for mini-breaks and it really is the ultimate spot to unwind and relax. It's so good to get away from the hustle of everyday life. For both of us it's the best way to cleanse our minds and just spend some quality time out in nature together. I always carry my camera with me, cause we see so many great things there, as well as in the car driving down.

Here is a little photo diary from our latest trip this autumn.

Eyes Shut

Men And Machines

Favorite man & the favorite car.

I've always had an obsession with vintage cars and last weekend, driving on the highway, I saw this amazing little beauty coming up on the side. I'm not sure which model this Ferrari is, but I'm very curious about finding out. So I've send a few pictures to other vintage car fans, to see if they recognise it. But if anyone out there knows which model this is, let me know :)

And how great would it be, to use it in a photoshoot?

Shooting Film

I've just started to experiment with film.

My dad gave my his old Canon camera a while back. And it's taken a while for me to get to know it. I'm slowly getting to understand it's ways, but it still feels like a stranger in my hands. The good thing is, that I put much thought in each photo and take my time composing the pictures.

I'm never sure of the results and what awaits me while developing a film roll, which is quite exciting. I've always had a soft spot for old photographs and I really like the vintage feel I get while using this camera.

Here are a few photos from this summer and from last week.

From Above

This is how I entertain myself on a plane :)
I took these photos on my way home from holiday this summer. I think we were flying over Switzerland and that these mountaintops are parts of the Swiss Alps.

On another note, I feel that I've been slightly neglecting the blog lately, but I'm currently in the prosess of planning my own photo exhibition, which takes up most of my time and attention. But I'll try to be good and remember to post photos here on a more regular basis.
