I am an ambassador for Elinchrom. Its the brand of my flashes. Basically it means I help out at trade shows doing some demonstrations or just helping my collegues out and talking openly about my experience with their equipment. Last year, Aifo interviewed me in this role so I thought I’d share the video here 🙂 I talk about why I use Elinchrom in my studio and a little about some of my favourite pictures and how I’ve lit them.

What a surprise?!

I’m thrilled with my results at the Swedish Masters in Portrait Photography this year. I entered 6 portraits, they all went to the final round. I won the themed category! My score was 88 points (of 100) which on an international scale is a ‘silver/excellant’. The category was ‘i väntans tider’ which translated to ‘in times fo waiting’. I decided to make a composite image of a clock with a newborn at the center…the focus of the waiting mum. I also received an honourary mention for my portrait, ‘She’s mine’ of a proud dad holding his newborn baby girl.

In the total championships I landed in 8th place in the country! I couldn’t be more proud…. I was secretly hoping for a top 10 placing and I made it! Lets see if I can do top 5 next year!
