The latest work from me is Triny C, a brand new line of handbags. Working with Triny C was such a joy on a creative and communicative level. Also involved in this great project was stylist Jessica Willis, while makeup and hair was done by the always fun and ass-kicking Juanita Lyon.

As the year is ending, it’s hard not to think of some highlights. One of mine were for sure hiking in Patagonia with dear Sofia Hedström.

Early this fall I had the immense pleasure of working with Ampere on their very first campaign and look book. It was a true pleasure to go through the process of branding the photography for a spanking new start-up with the young entrepreneur Jiabei Chen. Their great idea and personal touch to lingerie is for women to find lingerie that not only makes them feel exceptionally beautiful and confident, but actually fits. They have therefore developed a program for education on how to measure yourself and how a bra is supposed to fit. As a result you first receive a measuring kit and all orders (online only) comes with the bra in 3 sizes, just so you can make sure you’re getting the right one. Such brilliance!

If we’ve hung out in the last 8 months you’ve probably heard my intoxicated happiness-love-babble about Antarctica. Or maybe you read this entry right after we got back. But now the cat is out of the bag, and the full story is in ELLE Sweden at your local newsstand. And you can watch the film as well.
Antarctica in my heart forever!

Sunday often turns out of be my “focus on food day.”
So last Sunday I made pie!

Our delicious lifestyle shoot for Ceviche & Co was featured on Kinfolks Diary. Have you seen the paperversion of the mag? It’s great, too.

If someone would have to me in 2007 that I’d shoot film again, right around the time I was allowed to stop spending thousands of dollars on 4×5 chromes and polaroids, I would have laughed dryly and exclaimed N-E-V-E-R.

Here we are, five years later. For my birthday my sweet Danish aunt & uncle presented me with a Leica M4. A camera I hadn’t even imagined ever owning, and was so insanely touched to receive.

We’ve been shooting film around the house for the last year with a little snap-and-shoot Olympic, but now I carry my Leica wherever I go. Yesterday I got some film back – and it’s just insane how exciting it is. It gives fuel to my fire for photography. No meter, no preview. It’s just so exciting! Just reminds me of what me and Xu always talk about – whatever you feel right now, it will change and you will feel differently.

It is such a good feeling to walk into someone’s living environment and instantly love it. Feeding your brain symmetry and great combinations of pattern, color, texture and materials is like being awakened. That happened when I walked into Davey Whitcraft’s space the other day. He’s a graphic designer and a professor of communication arts and has re-vamped this 1958 gem by architects Nisan Matlin and Eugene Dvoretzky to a modern beauty.
You can view Whitcraft’s work here.

At the beginning of 2011 I vowed to focus some serious time on portraits. I’d say one of my absolute truths about why I love photography is in the meeting and capturing of another person and all it entails. Over a year went by and I met some really lovely and quite beautiful people. “Nice to meet you”, in all of it’s 12 pages, is a small physical manifestation of a few of those meetings.

There’s only 100 in total of them, signed and numbered. I’ve got a few left over and you can get one for $10 (shipping worldwide included) here directly from me.
Or, it’s also offered for sale in Los Angeles at Skylight Books and Arcana. (Get it, east side OR west side!)

Graphic design and background artwork but the insanely talented Matthew Deak.

This was a lovely shoot with Brianna from Photogenics and Yoon Choi styling. HUGE thanks to the incredible Kim Green for the location. See the whole shoot under Fashion.
