Stockholm Fotomässa

I’ve realised that I have lot of news from the past year that I had not posted, so I thought I’d write a few posts and catch up! It’s almost a year ago since Stockholms last Fotomässa at Älvsjö. I was working on the Aifo stand as an Elinchrom ambassador doing live childrens sessions! It was quite an experience, but so much fun. This was my second year doing live demos at Fotomässan actually. This year there is no Fotomässan but it will be in march 2018 instead… maybe I’ll see you there!

I thought I’d share some of the resulting pictures of my beautiful model. I was shooting using one of the new Lastolite foldable backgrounds and an Elinchrom ELC 500 eith 120 cm litemotive . It was really nice!

Finalist in European Portrait Photographer of the Year

In January I found out I was a finalist in the Federation of European Photographers of the Year competition… me! I was thrilled! So, In april I went down to the awards ceremony in Italy to receive my certificate. I awarded a Merit award for one of my portraits and 7 th place in total in the portrait category which sums my 3 highest scoring pictures. I was also there for the FEP AGM – I was there as Swedens representative. My Olof joined me for the trip and we spent some lovely days around Catania, Sicily. We even took a trip up to mount Etna… it was particularly active just then so we got to see a real lava flow and I actually melted the sole of my shoe!

SM Porträttfotografi 2016

This years SM was a blast! After lasts years success I was a little nervous…what if I flop?! I entered images that I had invested alot in; of myself and my time. The images were part of a larger series taken for a qualification I’ll be applying for this autumn.

Well… how did I do? 5th place overall! I had 2 images scoring 88 points (silver awards), 1 scoring 80 (bronze award) and 1 scoring 76 (honourary mention award). I was just stunned to see 4 of my 6 images hanging in the winners exhibition. (My other 2 images scroed 73 and 74 – acceptable competition quality but under awards level).

It’s a funny thing – compeiting with portraits…but not really. The competition is judged by a panel of 5 international judges and they are looking for control in lighting, editing, printing, contact with the subject etc. There is of course a subjective element, that of impact – is the image striking? That is why there are 5 judges, becasue we all appreciate differnt things. I look forward to doing a course and judging myself in the future!

Anyway, enough rambling… here they are!
