I have a spanking new website and photo blog. The new photo blog is now included on my website and I will keep posting my work there. The new address is: www.annevi.com
I have moved my wedding photos to a different site www.anneviweddings.com. Slightly different crowd, slightly different style.
Thank you everyone that have kept reading here over the last year or so. I hope you will join me on the new blog. Don’t be a stranger.

2010
Time to sum things up, although it's not a wrap quite yet.
After four years in Australia my visa expired so I moved from Australian summer to Swedish winter in February.
Australia is fairly remote to… most places. So I did some travelling.
LA
I had an exhibition in Los Angeles and met up with photography friends. It was probably the best trip of the year.
Shot a wedding in LA, my first actually. It was featured at Rock’n’Roll Bride.
NY
Stockholm
I went to Stockholm and photographed singer songwriter Elina in Dear Euphoria. The photos were published in the book Vägen till Sångerna by Stefan Warnqvist.
Elina and I also worked together on another project. Her voice and my images in a video that was screened at Slideluck Stockholm.
Swedish midsummer
Shot a beach wedding, featured at Ever Ours.
and another one featured at Once Wed, a bridal blog with over 3 million readers/month.
Longed to get back into the studio and photographed beautiful African top model, Mirash during Stockholm Fashion Week.
Sketch Magazine
Had some spreads in the Australian Magazine, Sketch Magazine.
Biggest gig of the year was with fashion designers Alpha 60, for Sportsgirl Australia. It was printed on postcards and in stores all over Australia.
Won a silver award at the Australian Professional Photography Awards 2010.
Went to Copenhagen and met my artist friend Hilda Ekeroth and photographed her exhibition.
Paris
Went to Paris and met one of my best friends, who was in Paris on honeymoon.
Moved into a studio space in Stockholm by the end of September. Love it.
Photographed Ulrika Sandström's SS 2011 collection
Shot heaps for L'Oréal Sweden, most of the images are not published yet, but will be.
I won three bronze awards at the International Aperture Awards 2010, in three different categories, people, wedding and illustrative. The one in illustrative below:

Before and after
Sometimes you ask me about lighting so I thought I would share some photos.
Two heads lighting the background, bouncing into the polyboards, mostly to avoid camera flare.
Hugo Boss Love
Make up artist and hair stylist Karolina Danielson. Model Caroline.
And ready to go.

The main light is a Beauty Dish with reflector and the second light is a Balloon. A beauty dish is probably my favourite light source, besides ambient, when it comes to portraits. It gives a beautiful fall off, eg. this shot (top one). The balloon is completely underrated but gives an amazingly soft light. I use it a lot for beauty shots.
The combination of a beauty dish and a balloon isn’t typical I guess, but I find using just a beauty dish will be too harsh for a fashion shoot. Big soft boxes are easy and reliable, but can give a too flat light. It depends on what you shoot of course.

Christmas card 2010
My sister and her family visited me in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago and I took the annual Christmas card photo of my niece and nephews.
And a few portraits.

International Aperture Awards 2010
I entered three prints in the International Aperture Awards 2010. One in people category, one in wedding and one in Illustrative.
Wedding
I kind of new that the wedding shot would work. It scored a bronze award, only a point under silver award, so maybe a tiny bit disappointed.
People
Judges always like crisp photos and most of this image is not (effect), although the subject is. I wasn’t surprised that it didn’t get as high scores, but still a bronze award.
Illustrative
I have been very close, but never got any awards in Illustrative before. The competition is usually murderous in that category.
The print I entered is probably one of the strangest images I have ever done. I haven’t even posted it here, because I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not. I honestly had no idea how it would be received in a competition; it’s probably an image you like or dislike.
I got a bronze award and the same score as the wedding image, one point below silver.
I have previously won a silver award in the Australian Professional Photography Awards 2010 with another version of the image.
I am of course very pleased with three awards out of three prints. And there is always next year.

I am Spartacus
I’m so proud of him.
Liam McIntyre is one of three actors vying for the lead role in Spartacus. Of course I hope he will get it.
The photos below are taken the first time I met him. It was winter, freezing and we shot a film noir series outside in an alleyway. He was modelling with another model and from memory I took these in between shots.
We went to a fabulous Halloween party last year. Oh how I love costume parties.
(Liam and I. I didn't take the last photo)

Ulrika Sandström Studio S/S 2011
The past week I have photographed and worked on the files of the spring and summer collection of the Swedish fashion designer Ulrika Sandström Studio.
My favourite is the gorgeous green and white dress.

Slideluck
Friday night and weekend.
For some people.
I just got back from the studio and have more work to do tonight. But I’m really excited about a fashion shoot tomorrow morning. The model is absolutely amazing with long red curly hair so I’m pretty sure we will get some cool shoots out of it.
This week has been all about fashion. Shooting a SS2011 for a Swedish fashion designer and attended a couple of showroom events.
Another event, or a screening really, was Slideluck Potshow Stockholm earlier this year. Some of my images were shown, music by Dear Euphoria. You can see the (very compressed) video here.

I've been editing the L'Oréal shots all week, but here are some photos from New York in the meanwhile.

Vägen till sångerna
Vägen till sångerna, a book about Swedish singer-songwriters, arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. Stefan Warnqvist, a well-known music journalist, wrote it. And it is the first time anyone has thanked me in the foreword. Gold!
Dungen, Taken by Trees, Timo Räisänen, Elin Sigvardsson and Dear Euphoria are a few of the musicians that are interviewed in the book.
I have photographed Dear Euphoria, aka Elina Johansson, a couple of times before and some of my photos of her are published in the book.
Vägen till sångerna is published by BTJ and available at most (Swedish) bookstores, amongst others at Adlibris.

Materially Embodied
Hilda Ekeroth and I met eleven years ago when we studied together at the University of Lille, France. We were both young, it was the first time we lived abroad and our French was perhaps slightly less fluent than we had expected.
It seemed impossible to find an acceptable place to stay in the occasional bureaucracy French society. We looked at some truly odd and mouldy studios, one where you had to walk through the men’s room at a bar to enter the staircase up to the studio. Clearly not an option.
Exhausted, I asked the receptionist at the hotel of any advice. He shook his head and said “do you know that Lille has the third highest crime rate in France?” He placed a map on the desk, grabbed a pen and then put a big black cross over EVERY central suburb except one. He wrote down an address to a real estate agent in the uncrossed suburb, Madeleine, made a call and voilà, with my parents signature I moved into a, perhaps not elegant, but charming apartment.
Hilda was more courageous and moved in to a sweet little room in a well, let’s just say, not quite so sweet suburb. We became friends but I haven’t seen her since France. Eleven years ago.
It was great seeing her again in Copenhagen last week. She is currently doing her fifth year at Royal Danish Academy Of Fine Arts and Materially Embodied is her first solo show. I think the series is absolutely beautiful. Materially Embodied is on at Gallery Fifth Floor, Istedgade 136, Copenhagen.
Artist statement - Hilda Ekeroth
Oljan mimar plasten. Dom mimar varandra.
Pigmentet faller genom oljan och placerar sig emellan. Under ytan.
The oil mimes the plastic. They mime each other.
The pigment falls through the oil and places itself in between. Under the surface.
