During this pandemic I’ve been faced with a lot of challenges regarding my art collection that I make with real gold.  It has been very hard to get a hold of all the materials I need to be able to create these artworks.  Because of this issue I had to start doing more research about […]

I’ve always found the process of creating my artworks enthralling. The search for new ways to create them is always with me and one of my favorite places to spend time is in the print lab. In the beginning of the summer of 2017 I came up with the idea to incorporate other materials into […]

It’s hard to always get behind the scene footage during photo shoot but sometimes I do and lately it has been a lot of boomerangs! I put together a little video with boomerangs in high speed!

Some of my favorite muzzles from last weeks studio shoot

I had the best Sunday yesterday, I spent it in the studio painting and working on my upcoming art collection. It was a perfect end to this midsummer weekend, which is a big holiday here in Sweden. It started on Friday midday and was going on until Saturday. I celebrated midsummer at my friends summer […]

My family LOVE them! My whole family, three sisters, mom, dad, grandma and grandpa accompanied with a lot of friends […]

Huge pictures on the walls in the indoor arena! How cool isn’t that? Here you get to see the process of putting all of them up on the wall. When we first opened them up on the ground we thought they might have gotten a little to big, but as soon as they were up […]

A lot of you know that cancer is a subject that comes very close to my heart since my sister battled it 3 years ago! Thankfully she’s in remission now! This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month I would like to contribute and try to help to beat this horrible disease! With my first exhibition we […]

My weekend in black and white!

When the alarm went off on Saturday morning the first thing I thought of was if the weather outside was nice. Diana and I carefully opened the curtains. The little detail I should mention is that we were in England and let’s be real it’s not sunny there that often, at least from my experience this summer. You could […]

Yesterdays preparations for Sebastian Coe’s Champions day at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club. I got help from my friend Diana (PoloPeoplePlaces) to help me set up all my art works that is decorating the lunch for Seb Coe’s Charitable Foundation supporting Cancer Research UK. Check out my next post to hear about the event […]

I often get the question, why horses? How come you have focused your photography to horses? When I grew up, I was like many other girls always thinking of horses, talking about horses, wanting to be around horses. Horses horses horses that was my world! So it is not a big ”coincidence” that I work with horses today. I […]

A little to late but here’s some pictures from The Cartier Queen’s cup final at Guards Polo Club!

How many times a day do we have to make a choice? It can be big or small, but you still have to make a choice in how to act or what to do everyday? Do I want a smoothie or a sandwich for breakfast? How many more days can I wait to make that […]

I arrived in London Wednesday evening and the second I walked of the train at Victoria station in London I couldn’t belive how cold it was! For once Sweden was the country that was warmer, that is not something you come along very often! Thursday morning I met up with Diana (Check her blog Polopeopleplaces) and […]

I’m counting the hours to board the plane to London! I haven’t been in London since I lived there in 2013. I studied photography at Speos Photography Institute and my time there is the foundation of my work as a photographer! I can’t wait to visit some of my favourite places in London! The first […]

Our last day in Tokyo got a little crazy! We had one big problem this trip, it was how to get my art back to the U.S. All my art pieces traveled to Japan in a large custom wood box, every pieces was laying in there, safe and protected from breaking. The box weight over […]

We got done with everything a little while before the show was about to open. All the pieces where up on the white wall that had my name on it, the labels where up under neath every photo and we had organized with all the information about me as an artist and the story behind […]

Scandinavian Beach Polo World Cup, is the first beach polo ever held in Scandinavia! I was so excited when I found this event. After spending three months in Wellington around the International Polo Club Palm Beach I have been longing to see and photograph some polo again. What could be better then having this event […]

I spent a few weeks in the studio doing the final work for my Art Works before Gothenburg Summer Tour last week. I love to do as much as I can myself when it comes to my Art, there is much more work then just printing the photos. I usually exhibit my art hanging in […]

Yesterday I rigged my studio in our indoor arena and took some portrait shoots. They are based on the same way as I do the black background I told you about last week. I love working with studio lights with the horses, at first I thought that they would be so scared but most of […]

When it was a little bit snow outside I went to Islandic horses to take some pictures. I love their fur! Specially the mane and forelock, here you can see some photos I took. As you may now if you follow me I love close ups and usually focus my photography on details. Enjoy!

  I have been asked many times how I do my black background photos and I thought I should let you know my little secret. To start with you have to plan your photo, what do you want to capture? Do you want to take a portrait or capture details? After that you have to […]

Have been longing for snow all christmas and it is finally here! So how do you do to take good pictures of the horses in the snow? You have to plan your photo a little bit more with snow then without, how do you want the exposure? If it is a dark horse and everything […]

A couple of weeks ago when I looked out of the window it was sunny but with a cold fog laying around right above the ground. Perfect photo time!! It was like I was in a fairy tale. I got some pretty nice photos of the mule that day, I focused on capturing a contrast […]

It is always fun to play around with shadows. There are a thousand different shadows you can catch with your camera and your horse. In this post you can see photos of a horse reflected on a wall. We were inside during this shooting which limited the light source so I had to press the Iso value […]

The autumn is in my opinion one of the finest season if you want to take pictures. The colors during this time is unbeatable! You can get amazing photos! I like to get the colors in the background of the horse, to create a natural framing. If you use a big aperture you will get a […]

A beautiful way to capture a photo when your using natural light is to do backlit lightning. Backlit lightning means that you place your object in front of the light so it hits the object from behind. With this technique you can achieve a beautiful halo effect around your object. If your planing to take […]

Me and my sister Natasha started Vår Kamp Mot Cancer which means “Our fight against cancer” to tell my sisters story while she battled with a cancer form called lymphoma. I, followed her around with my camera and captured our family’s everyday life and her struggle against cancer. Last may 2014 we arranged a photo exhibition that […]

To photograph show jumping inside with bad lighting makes your photoshoot a little bit harder. If you want to do catch a really sharp action shoot you will have to use a very fast shutterspeed but doing that means that you need to have a lot of light to go into the lens. With a large […]

Lite höstmys en vacker eftermiddag som den här. Gillar verkligen Bokeh som jag fick till på bilden med det gula trädet i bakgrunden, de ser nästan ut som levande eldkorn. Bokeh är den delen i bilden som inte är i fokus, beroende på skärpedjupet i bilden kan man få olika mycket bokeh. Här har jag […]

Tittar tillbaka på några bilder som jag tog i slutet av sommaren i år. Lilla Jollan och Kråkan är så söta tillsammans! Vi var ute och fotograferade sen eftermiddag/tidig kväll för att fånga det här härliga ljuset som man bara kan få under just den tiden på dygnet.

Nu har höstens alla färger kommit. Vilken höst vi har haft än så länge, helt underbart väder! Kände att det var dags att gå ut och fotografera lite i dem fina färgerna, vad tycker ni om resultatet?

  Eyelashes to be jealous of!! Var sådant fantastiskt väder igår så jag kunde inte hålla mig från att gå ut och ta lite kort. Fokuserade på ögonen, vad tycker ni om den här?

När jag fotograferar försöker jag fånga detaljerna. Här har jag lagt fokus på knopparna på hästen.

Genom min lens ser jag vardagen från ett annat perspektiv!
