This image is at the moment on display at Hotel Skeppsholmen in Stockholm. Hanging there together with other images made by other artists from my photography agency Söderberg agentur. I took this image in an empty house. A house in-between families. In the editing I have worked with the light and colours to get the feeling of in-between. The emptiness of something being gone but also the excitement for new happenings.
These images are from Wichudaporn Chaiyasaeng´s latest cookbook. The theme is Thai food cooked in less than 30 minutes. I took the photos and did the prop styling and set the feeling in the photos. The book is for sale here and here. In Swedish.
Jag vill visa några bilder jag har låtit montera bakom tjockt plexiglas. Jag brukar oftast göra mina bilder på ett matt väldigt vackert papper, men har vid tillfällen fått förfrågningar om plexiglasmontering. Så då gjorde jag det och gillar verkligen hur bilden går från tvådimensionell till tredimensionell.
Dessa går att beställa direkt av mig. Finns i olika storlekar. De finns en upphängningslist på baksidan som gör att bilden kommer en bit ut från väggen och är lätt att hänga upp.
Images mounted behind acrylic glass.

I’ve wanted to make images with pink and white currants for a while. I’ve never seen them in the supermarket and I don’t grow them in my tiny garden either. So about two weeks ago I was thinking about these berries again and went in to town for errands. I made sure to pass by the Saturday market and was so lucky to find one woman who sold white and pink currants from her garden. I also got some gooseberries and red currants. When I finally had these beautiful, pearl, jewel like berries in my possession I started making images. I finally had to stop the image-making when the berries weren’t as fresh any longer. But I ended up with quite many images that are now in my Etsy print shop.
I also got to photograph the prints in a beautiful home. I have a few more images from this home that I will show soon too. But for now these. Please visit my print shop to see more of my new prints.
So many travels to Italy and many more to come. Probably not this year but maybe next. I have so many images from travels, both traveling for work and with my family. These are some of my favorite from the printshop. This is Italy to me, but in reality more food. I share one pizza from Naples with you here.

I’m writing this post in Swedish with an English version at the end.
Det här bilderna har jag gjort för Nina Hermansens bok Baka på 30 minuter. Så mycket goda fantastiska bakverk som Nina bakat och jag sedan gjort bilder av. Nina går upp tidigt som en riktig bagare så där vid kl 03 och bakar samma dag som vi har fotografering. Väldigt imponerande. Jag vill berätta lite om hur boken kom till.
This time of the year when nature is soon to turn green everything is beige and brown. It is quiet beautiful and I wanted to make a series of images for my photo print shop in those same colors. I started by taking photos outdoors of the reed grass and the sallow tree and dried grass and dried flowers. Then I brought the dried beige and brown nature indoors, into my studio. I also took my collection of sea shells out of my closet and all the dried flowers from last summer. I shot most of the photographs against an old beige piece of newsprint paper for the right feeling. This newsprint paper has been with me for a very long time. I bought when I went to art school in Washington D.C. in the nineties for my drawing classes. So it has an old vintage touch to it and is probably not the same color as it it was when i bought it. But very good as a simple background for these photographs. To see all images go to my shop here. They are all digital and downloadable, but if someone would prefer an actual print shipped to them just tell me and I will do it.
So the theme is yellow and stretching out into orange. Because of easter and because it is finally spring and yellow and orange are most often happy colors. Trying to spread some happy feelings and energy with my images today. All of them in the print shop of course and linked and ready to click.
