Days at work

We’ve done two more pictures in the same series as the others i’ve done for Permobil. This time we were shooting a lumberjack chopping wood and a truck that was stuck!
For the first shoot we set up everything on some kind of field. It felt like the middle of nowhere but actually it was just a couple of minutes from downtown Nashville. The place was perfect but the only thing missing was a couple of trees. Well what do you do? You go out and cut down two trees, bring them with the tractor and set them up! 🙂
While we where setting up everything we got a visit from som of the local cows  🙂 They got to be in the picture later of course!

Well, there was quite some fixing with all the wood and trees, but at last we started shooting! I think it will turn out really good! Everybody did a great job!

Since the product we where shooting not yet has been released we´re not allowed to show it yet. Thereby the blur i the picture.

This is a portrait i did for a magazine a week ago. It’s Susanne Bertlin who used to sing i some bands but is now going solo and have stopped the touring.
The images is used in an article about what has happened since the quit the constant touring.

Last week i shot new images of YOHIO. The images are to be used for press releases and of course now that he is picked to compete in the “melodifestivalen” (Swedens pre eurovision song contest) i guess they will be needing new images of his new look which is more boy-like then his old look.

Now we’re crossing our fingers that he qualifies to the big Swedish final this spring!

Here is the photo that is on the winter issue of Birsta City magazine, i hope you like it!

Just landed at Nashville airport after almost 24 hours of travelling! Tomorrow we’ll start to shoot for Parmobil. I’ll write more tomorrow, too tired now 🙂

One of the fastest cover shoots ever, at least when it comes to the timeline between getting the info about who to shoot and doing the actual shoot!

Anyway, the guy for this issue was Fredrik, who is extremely good at fixing up engines. Me and Erik from LAJV met Fredrik in is shop where we were doing the shoot.
I had in my head imagined an old shop from -73 with spilled oil and old engines everywhere. That is NOT how the look nowadays i can tell you 🙂 More like an surgery room than what i thought 🙂 Very clean and computers an rolling shelfs with tools hanging neatly.

We found an engine which we hanged in front of him and then i started with the lighting before i began shooting. Lucky for me Fredrik had seen some of my earlier covers so it didn’t come as a complete chock when i asked him to start to act and scream! 😀 But the rest of the people in the shop came to a complete stop as we started 😀

Thanks to Erik for the picture from the shoot!

Well, suddenly it’s winter again and christmas is around the corner! Just as usually it was time to shoot the cover for Birsta City Magazine. Earlier we had trucks of real snow ordered for these shoots, but this year we decided to shoot the cover at Santas home 😀 We found a great cottage up on one of the mountains here in town. I had gathered a bunch of props and when i got to the cabin i found just as much!
We  moved furniture and things around for quite some time before it was all done! And Malte, our Santa for the day, did a great job. So after som directing and shooting our Santa could go to his santa-things and we went on to shooting the other image, which was an image of Santas front door!

The final result turned out great. but you’ll have to wait until the magazine is out before you can see it!

It’s been quite a lot of work lately, so i have some blogging to catch up with. But until then i’ll just post a piece of the image that is going on the next LAJV Magazine cover 🙂

During RehaCare 2012, a big trade fair in Düsseldorf, Permobil has used the images i made for them in their booth. It’s always great to se the pictures in big format! 🙂

Today i shot a bunch of promo pictures of Rabih Jaber for his upcoming album. You might remember him from Swedish Idol 2009! A really cool guy with a even cooler voice! I’m looking forward to posting the finished images, he really rocks in front of the camera.
Took some shots of his producer Jocke as well, the one below is not one of the images that will be used 😉
