Days at work

My personal project is moving forward! Last week it was time for yet another portrait, this time Lars-Åke “Babsan” Wilhelmsson, Swedens most known drag artist! Most people know his big pink wig! For me he’s a visual dream to shoot, he’s all done with much of everything!!

The idea was to shoot Babsan at the barber, being shaved. So we needed real classy barbershop! Luckily we came in contact with Peter who owns Roy & Son, a really cool place on Södermalm in Stockholm! After some carrying and setting up we were ready, setting up lights in a very small barbershop full of people cutting and shaving customers is always a challenge! 😀 After a while Babsan was ready and came and it felt perfect right away! I often scream and shout together with the people i shoot while i shoot, maybe not the best of ideas in a crowded and full working barbershop, so i went with the more quieter version today! 😀

During the shoot we had company from the magazine Kamera & Bild who came along to write something about the project! My friend and video-guru Torbjörn shot some behind-the-scenes video as well!
