En av bilderna som jag har tagit när vi körde ”franska kort” i studion sist har hamnat etta på tio-i-topp listan över ”fine art” på Modellbilder.se. Stort tack till en kanonmodell att jobba med också!
(Jag är ganska stolt)
One of my pictures from the last studion session with Karin when we did ”french postcards” has been ranked #1 on the top-ten list of fine art pictures at the model site ”modellbilder.se” here in Sweden. Thanks to the great model as well!
(I’m pretty proud of that)
Plats: T-bana Slussen uppgång Södermalmstorg, vid strömmingsbilen kl 13.00 den 10 maj 2009.
Vi går runt södermälarstrand med avstickare efter eget behov och så slutar vi på lämplig krog med en bit mat och kanske en pilsner ca 17:00.
När mer information blir tillgänglig kommer jag uppdatera det här.
Välkomna!
Place: Metro station Slussen (2 stops south of T-Centralen on the red or green route) exit towards ”Södermalmstorg” it is the middle exit from the platform. Outside there is a cart that sells fried herring which is well known and that’s where we will meet. Time and date is 1pm on May 10, 2009.
We will be walking around the south shoreline of lake Mälaren with beautiful views over the Stockholm city and waters. We expect to end around 5pm for a meal and something to drink at some good restaurant in the cheaper range.
When more information becomes available I will be updating this post.
Welcome!
We had a photo course this weekend and the last day we had a visit from Sally, a great model for the students to practice shooting using model lights and bouncers and everything else that goes with it.
Denna helg eller weekend som det heter på svenska har vi haft en fotokurs i studion. Här har vi Sally som kom över idag och hjälpte till som modell så att kursdeltagarna skulle ha något att fotografera.
The museum of nordic culture, or ”Nordiska Museet”, is located on the south-west of the Djurgården island, not far from the Vasa museum. The entrance is from the south and we got there from the wrong direction at first but managed to get around to the right place.
The museum was not really what I expected it to be but it was still a nice day out. I had hoped for more clothes and fashion, but that whole department was closed off, they are curating a new display ready in the spring 2010 so we had to make do with what we got.
Architecture and the building itself is remarkable. It is worth a visit just for these things, the main hall being especially beautiful and with the larger than life statue of Gustav Vasa the king that joined all the warring fractions of Sweden to one nation is also quite impressive.
There was a fashion display but that was mainly a few photographs on a wall and a projector showing fashion photographs and that was it.
The impression I had from the museum was that it was difficult to see who they were aiming for, the exhibitions were trying to fit all different age groups and actually did not really do a good job in some cases. The Sápmi exhibition about the Sami people and their land in the north of Scandinavia felt a little misplaced. Not that I don’t think it should be here, it was just that it seemed very half-hearted. I would have expected far more photographs from the older days and there were some nice items and clothes here but everything seemed a bit devoid of context.
But we still had a really good day out and I got to see some stuff from my favourite epoch, the sixties:
The all Swedish site Fotonen.se has just launched. If you are Swedish you will find all the Swedish photography related articles there in a blitz…
