Here’s a portrait of my grandfather. Shot using window light with a Canon 5D Mk II and a 100mm f/2 lens. I had Kristina hold the black side of a reflector behind him to get a clean background. I used an aperture of f/3.2 and shot really close to get this nice shallow depth of field, and bring the attention to his eyes.

Experimenting a lot, both with the shooting and lighting, as well as the post-processing. At the moment I am working hard on building up a decent portfolio. Here is a fashion inspired portrait of my lovely Kristina. She’s always there to help me out when I want to try […]

As I’m going through all my old photos, I occasionally find some pictures that I want to work on again with a fresh eye. This is one of them. I shot this image in August of 2011 with the Fuji X100. Back then I processed it in black and white, which actually suited it well as it’s a pretty busy photo. But as I started from scratch once again I decided I wanted it in color. I’m quite happy with […]

Happy new year! 2013 is here, and I am back on the air. As you may have noticed I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’m not dead or anything, I just decided to take a few weeks off from posting. I’m excited to be back again.

Winter is here again. Snow and cold temperatures. Can’t say I like it, although it can be quite beautiful at times.

Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on shooting portraits and learning how to light. Experimenting, trying different stuff and learning as I go. I’m enjoying it! This picture is shot with a Canon 5D Mk II, 50/1.4 lens, and a Nikon SB-900 flash in a small softbox.
