I have just delivered the photos to Anders Björler (Grammy winning guitarist of the Haunted and At the Gates) who is going to release his first solo album. The album is really interesting and is a mix of everything from classical music, jazz, progressive rock and especially film music. Incredibly fun to show you the first picture taken inside the Natural History Museum in Gothenburg.
Read more about Anders and the project which is called Antikythera on his website, www.andersbjorler.com.
As you know I am not just a wedding photographer. And even though weddings is one of the most fun to shoot, there is much other shoots that is almost as fun. As music, for example. I have written before that I had the opportunity to follow some bands and artists at very close range.
Others I only meet briefly for a small portrait session and live photo. As this weekend’s shows with Rival Sons and Chris Isaak. Both absolutely fantastic gig. Both are from the U.S., both on Trädgårn here in Gothenburg and both documented by me. Rival Sons from Saturday and Chris Isaak from yesterday, Sunday.
Rival Sons, I can also reveal where a nice bunch, who both shook hands and remembered my name. It warms an old photographer’s heart.
Here you have photos from this weekend.
As you may know, I do not just shoot weddings but also a lot of other things. I will try to show some of the other stuff I do now in the near future.
To start somewhere, I can tell you that one of my main interests has always been music. In recent years, to shoot music. And by this, I have become one of the Swedish band In Flames photographers. I have over the years had the luxury to hang with them and document everything from concerts, tours to the recording of new albums.
Last night they released their new website and although it is not completely finished there are already a lot of photos. A lot of photos taken by me. Especially if you look at each band member. Check out their website here
Yesterday I did something so different as to shoot Stand up comedy on Trädgår’n here in Gothenburg. It was a big bunch of white men, to use their own words, who joked about everything and nothing. Very much below the belt but also lot of overhead. Six comedians and almost 2 hours of laugter behind the camera.
This year’s Badjävlar was Henrik Schyffert, Fredrik Lindström, Magnus Betnér, Peter Apelgren, Johan Rheborg and Björn Gustafsson. After running so it was also a small portrait session with the guys who unfortunately must be private.
I have a very busy time with several weddings, fix of concert Photos, magazines and plenty of deliveries. Of course, I totally enjoy being able to work on with all that I love.
In the middle of everything that happens, Ung Cancer writes about me helping them. They wrote very nicely about me on their side. Read it in Swedish here: Thousand ways to help
And then, last Saturday night, just returned from a wedding, I get a totally fantastic email. These things really make me happy. Read for yourself (translated by google):
Hello! I found here via Facebook and is now looking around. What good you are! I love the style you have and you manage to really bring out the story / mood of your photos. I love it! I photographed a lot for a few years ago, but makes it almost never long, unfortunately. But now, I was SO inspired by your pictures you will probably pick up my camera again. Will go social / media now in high school, then I also get involved with photography, editing and writing at school! Will stay on your website and be more inspired when needed.
I was so happy when I saw your wedding photos. Have always thought it must be so hard to get good pictures of the wedding. But where did you real good! You can see just how happy couples are and it is so wonderful feeling in the photos! Really.
And that you give money to Young Cancer! It’s that good! Was so happy when I read it. Should be more like you who do so. For almost a year ago, I lost a friend to cancer, and also had a classmate who is ill. And he’s still alive! What you do in fact save lives!
That was what I wanted to say! Continue shoot and you are a great source of inspiration!
Michaela
Thank you Michaela!
You really make me never want to stop!
I leave you with a picture from Metaltown and the not entirely unknown guitarist Björn Gelotte.
