Outfit of the day: Cat lady costume!

Nice and loose clothes, feel warm and homey. The pants are bought in the summer 2011 when I gained 10 kg, these were my comfy pants. By now I've lost everything I've gained! Hah!

The white cotton o-neck tee came with print-your-image-yourself sheet pack. You know those sheets, first you have to print something with an ink printer on them and then iron onto the shirt. Well, this t-shirt was in that package. It feels good, although the cotton is thicker than what I usually wear!

A bit about my lovely kitties! First of all, I am a heck of a cat person! The gray cat's name is Madonna, which was our previous cat's name. My mom gave her that name, I think it's kinda silly to name your cat after the one that passed away! The darker cat is called Barcelona, which I gave her after my super favorite city in the world!

Pants H&M, belt 2nd hand, t-shirt came with stuff.

Find the disco cat! :D

You better like my fluffy kitties! Oh wait I almost forgot this video! 

Love it!!!!!!!!!

It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!

Victoria Beckam for Elle UK, March 2013

I just saw the cover of Victoria Beckham for Elle UK March 2013 and WOW, love it!!

So much that paused writing about behind the scenes of my shoot ”Tea party to die for”. Vicky surprised me with this awesome killer look! She doesn't look that Vicky here though. Is that her regular eyebrow? Somethings diff with her lips?

It's amazing how great can you look just in a lace undies and a leather jacket! Photographed by Carter Smith, an American film director and fashion photographer. 

Does this cover make you wanna crab the mag?

Aalo,

Webitorial ”A tea party to die for”

Whoop, whoop! I'm back and I have fantastic news! My work has been published as a webitorial on Unallied Magazine's blog! Click here to visit they're post and what they are saying about me!

The image quality on they're site isn't that good so I'll post the whole gallery here.

I photographed the story in November. The theme was ”party” and I've decided to do something tea party inspired.

I've made up a twisted story, where two girlfriends meet for a cup of tea. One of them is evil and for unknown reasons needs friend's soul to the dark side. So she poisons her.

This was shot on Sunday's afternoon. We all met up around 3 pm in my mom's beauty salon, where all my studio equipment are stored. I guess I sort of had a weird period then, we where shooting almost every second Sunday something, and during the time between the shoots, I was editing photos from the previous shoots and planning next ones. For this particular story I didn't get anyone who would be willing to do the worderobe, so I had to get the stuff all by myself. We were shopping with my sister, poor her! :D And with the returning Kadri helped out, who did the make-up on the girls, was shooting behind the scenes and returned the outfits with me.

We started pretty late and we wrapped it up around 10 pm! Yayks!

Happy Socks of Sweden

Fist of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hopefully number 13 will be everyone's happy year!

Here's something to feed my sock fantasy!

People, who know me well, remember me for wearing colorful socks. Dunno, black just doesn't look that nice with my eyes. I've had them in all neon colors, stripes and dots, with funny pictures. It's not easy to find fun socks for men, mostly they sell black, brown, dark blue, beige, dark gray. YAK!  Mint green, old pink, light blue shades, with funny prints please my mind into buying the products. Companies, think about it! :D Make my life easier! Cool stuff shouldn't only exist on models, magazines and in our fantasies but should be accessible also in real life!

Today I came across this webstore. I'm not sure what I was browsing except EVERYTHING and then I came across this. Happy Socks, as the name says, sell funny socks for men and women. They're collection is pretty nice but there's always room for expanding and do something that others don't.

Probably they don't have that large variety on they're website which is sad. It's kinda disappointing, that shops, that have physical stores, don't have that much stuff online. At least that's what I've noticed about some store's  webshops and it sucks!

Would you buy any of these for your boyfriends?

Ohhh, it's my photograhy!

I've been so busy recently with all the stuff you can do on the computer. Like editing photographs! Was it like four days death on my blog? Whooaaoo.. NOT GOOD!

I love photographing a lot! It's so much fun, especially when pushing on the button and great pictures just keep appearing in a row on your camera screen. But there is a dark side of photography, that might be annoying sometimes and makes you hate life, people and computers!! Before computer photography time there were dark rooms, the place you would develop photographic films...

(And that's all I know about dark rooms and film photography! :D I'm not a fan of film photography and my knowledge is very poor at that field. And you know, I don't care either. Someone who shoots only on film isn't a better photographer than the one who shoots with a fucking over-priced digital camera! People who think that are ignorant!)

Anyway.. There's no better feeling than getting your image done and having a look at it! Seriously, it's the essence of photography! After long hours of work with one photo you might still feel unsatisfied, miserable and disappointing with yourself. But seeing the final image is over the top! The thing with digital imagery is though, you're never happy with the end result, even after 2h work, you will find something you could improve. There is no end to that!

So let me introduce this photo series I've shot in the beginning of November. Now it's 30th of December and I just finished it! In meanwhile, I was so busy that I couldn't finish it earlier. And I know how disappointing it is to people, who took part of it and can't wait to see the final images! I had many other shoots in between with super tight deadline. No can do!

This was shot just for fun. After one 3-day webinar, I had straight from NYC, I was very inspired and full of ideas. So I found the right people for the shoot and we made all happen.
