The Australian Professional Photography Awards, APPA, is currently held in Darling Harbour, Sydney. Unfortunately I couldn’t go this year, but I just received my scores.
Two silvers in the portrait category.

I am in Melbourne for work and was lucky enough to be flown over. I did some shopping along Brunswick Street yesterday.
I photographed brother sister duo behind the fashion label Alpha 60 last year and the photo was used in a special edition for Sportsgirl Australia. Alpha 60 has a temporary sale store at Brunswick Street (final week) and I saw one of the pieces from the Sportsgirl collection. My photo was printed on the tag.
I had already moved back (my visa expired) to Sweden when the collection was in store, so it was actually the first time I saw it in print. To pick up a designer dress and see your photo… you kind of just want to do happy dance. It did put a smile on my face.

Her long curly red hair is her signature. Simply gorgeous and it’s all natural.

I met Andreas at a fashion event in Stockholm, the venue was crowded, the music loud and it was late at night. Andreas was wearing a v-neck shirt, his tattoo showing and assumed he was a model. We did a quick test shoot.
I was working on the images when a new photo assistant came into the studio. He looked at my screen and said, “you’re doing vampire photos!”
It made me laugh, because vampires weren’t what I had in mind when I shot it, at all. But I did read the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris a couple of weeks ago and there are obviously a few vampires around.

This shoot was all about the shoes and how gorgeous aren’t the black stilettos?
The model, Josefin, was a happy chick and she bounced around in the studio and you can kind of tell she liked to dance.

Sometimes you ask me about lighting so I thought I would share some photos.
(1) Two heads lighting the background, bouncing into the polyboards, mostly to avoid camera flare.
(2) The main light is a Beauty Dish with reflector and the second light is a Balloon. A beauty dish is probably my favourite light source, besides ambient, when it comes to portraits. It gives a beautiful fall off, eg. this shot. The balloon is completely underrated but gives an amazingly soft light. I use it a lot for beauty shots.
The combination of a beauty dish and a balloon isn’t typical I guess, but I find using just a beauty dish will be too harsh for a fashion shoot. Big soft boxes are easy and reliable, but can give a flat light. It depends on what you shoot of course.
