I have been on blogging hiatus for a while, I am in Norway at the moment, without my camera and without my computer and i.e without Photoshop. And I haven’t had any time either for that matter....
Here are the last couple of pictures I took of Sophie the other day, looking quirky with her posing smile. Next time will do some more natural pictures without the poses and the props. Gotta have bot...
Sophie in “old-fashioned” black and white.
I have admit that I think it is often easier to take pictures of other children than my own. One reason is that Sophie has been getting sick of my camera and doesn’t want it shoved in her face ...
I like both, but my “golden” rule (which is of course made to be broken) is that pictures taken at an outdoor shoot with a beautiful green backdrop are normally better in color, studio pi...
I have gotten complaints that I don’t post pictures of Sophie and the sole reason for that is that I haven’t really taken any “real” pictures of her lately (only iPhone snapsh...
…. I am getting into textures now, making more things to potentially hang on my walls. I love doing these things, but they do take a lot of time, I can sit for hours and hours doing this, and I...
Backlit. A great concept, not really too easy to catch here in grey grey China. I hope to catch a lot more backlit pictures in Norway this summer and later in Abu Dhabi (once the heat goes away and i...
I have talked about actions in photshop several times before, but it seems I just keep coming back to the topic. Just shows how much I use it I guess, in fact I use them more and more! When I started...
This is the last post of pictures from Yangshuo, I promise… I took a lot of photos there, even more than I normally do, and there are two reasons for that: the unbelievable beauty of the place,...
As I already described we trully enjoyed Yangshuo, despite the fact that the town in itself was pretty ruined by tourism. The reason we liked it so much was the fact that we stayed outside the town c...
My favorite flowers are pink peonies, hands down, and when I first saw them here in China for the first time like 3 days ago I had to buy a bunch! But, I am not even sure they are peonies now, I thin...
…On this special day.
There is always room for looking at pretty things, and Yangshuo is definetely one of those pretty things, a town which will always have a special meaning to us. Here are a few pictures from the villa...
I remember in the 90s you could get panoramic cameras, or panoramic film or something, and I thought it was really cool for about five minutes before I went back to my normal camera. And I am guessin...
A couple of more pictures of little Samantha.
Living in China street photography is great – there are always so many things going on in the streets and so many things to shoot. So when it was time for the “picture of the month”...
Some new pictures for my favorite folder! Look at this sassy little girl, she is just the cutest thing. By the way you can click on the pictures to make them bigger…
I took A LOT of pictures of Sam today, and she has so many facial expressions, it is just amazing how her face changes in every picture. I got a lot of nice frames, but little Sam would just NOT look...
We went to Yangzhou over the weekend, it was our first time even if it is relatively close to Guangzhou and one of the biggest tourist attractions in China. And now I only ask myself why we hadn̵...
Ok, so this is actually not a studio portrait, but with a little help from my friend photoshop, it is pretty close to what a studio portrait could look like. Traditionally the rule is that portraits ...
It seems to me that old(er) Chinese people, I am assuming retired, are pretty good at having a good time. You see them out and about all the time, especially in the parks, where they play ping pong, ...
These pictures are from a different park than the ones I posted yesterday, I think this park is called Liwan park, but I have to admit I am not 100 per cent sure. At least it is situated in Liwan, th...
On Sundays we – along with millions of Chinese – use to go to one of the many many parks in the city. It is nice to go for a stroll now that the weather isn’t too hot. It is really ...
He is just fascinating in my opinion. Just sitting there watching the day go by. I wish I had the ability to be that chilled…. Actually at the moment I am in a very still position myself, but t...
I have written about this earlier, but I thought it is worth a repeat, as Instagram is still my favorite Iphone app. Putting Intsagram filters on your pictures in Photoshop or Photoshop elements it i...
Check out those gorgeous eyes! Even if this was just a very very short moment of taking pictures, not even a mini-session, there are quite a few pictures I liked, particularly because of her beautifu...
Try running after two two-year-old friends in the park and taking pictures at the same time. Not that easy. They never stopped running… But, they were super cute, so I did manage to get a few s...
I needed a break from all the scruffiness and the black and white and the China pictures, so today I am sharing some prettier and more serene pictures with you, of my Yogi-friend Tea, whom I shot for...
