This is my first photo journal. I love putting together small photographic stories about special places I go to and things I see. This first one is from the Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen. So if you are lucky enough to be in Copenhagen, if the chilly wind is getting to you, if you love plants and old buildings go here. This place will warm you inside and out. Continue reading
In December I went to the United States on vacation with my family, we began in New York. I wasn’t on an assignment, but of course I couldn’t keep from bringing my camera everywhere we went. I have lots and lots of shots of buildings and streets. At first I wasn’t sure what to do with all the images I brought with me back home, but then I decided to make prints out of some of them. These prints are now for sale in my etsyshop: www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/UlrikaEkblomPhoto Continue reading
Last summer in Cinque Terre in Liguria, Italy. With the colorful parasols, the warm turquoise water, the sun, the ice cream…IMAGES AVAILABLE IN MY ETSYSHOP: www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/UlrikaEkblomPhoto Continue reading
I’m happy to let you know I have finally chosen two photographs to make posters from and I have already printed them. These are the first two poster but more will come. These first ones are both from Paris and printed on matte paper (my favorite) in the large size of 70 x 100 cm ( 27 1/2 x 39 1/4 “). The good thing with these posters, apart from the photo and being big, is that they are not very expensive so you can easily just pin or tape them on the wall. Or if you want to frame them there are many ready made frames in this size to frame them with. You can get them in my etsy shop. And I ship world wide. Continue reading
Two different versions of the same photograph, the second one being the most authentic. It’s taken a sunny morning in the guest bedroom in a house in Arcadia, L.A. county. The shadows on the curtain are from the avocado tree in the backyard.
I’ve been working on a new project which is going to result in prints and posters. I’m spending a lot of time choosing what images to make posters and prints from. I’ve decided I will definitely make a few posters of photos from Paris, but I’m not sure yet which ones.This image here is taken from the top of the Eiffeltower in December. If you look close you’re able to see the Centre Pompidou, Sacré Coeur, Place de la Concorde, Les Tuilleries, le Louvre, Seine, Notre Dame, Pont des arts, Pont neuf among others, almost like a map. I think this is probably one of the images I will choose, it will be perfect as a big print so you can see all the buildings in it. I also like the colors in it and the cloudy sky, it makes it beautiful to look at from a distance too. Continue reading
I always want the window seat when I fly. Looking out seeing places almost impossible to go to like icebergs, deserts, high mountains, the middle of a big ocean, the clouds. Two of my images here are taken from an airplane on my way from Stockholm to Geneva. The other three images are taken from the ground in Sweden on a warm summer day. I have changed the true colors just a little bit to get the gray/green colors I think go so well with these images. Continue reading
When working on the book about butter (Smör – kärna, bryna, baka) I took some images of the Swedish landscape around where I live. Landscape and nature photography hasn’t interested me very much before but as it turns out I want to do more. So apart from planning more photoshoots I have also started looking through images I already have from different travels searching for landscape and nature images. I have found many I really like and I’m thinking of what to use them for and I’m starting by showing them here. These are from Greece and the Canary Islands. Continue reading
I went to Paris this past spring to shoot for the book Franska Bakverk (French Pastry) by Mia Öhrn. You can se more of Franska Bakverk here. I also went to Paris because it is one of my favorite cities in the world (I studied photography in Paris for two years) and I’d been wanting to go all on my own for a while. It was the first weekend with lovely weather after the long winter last year. I got so many photos of Paris and there was of course not room for all of them in the book, it is after all a cookbook and not a book about Paris. But I’ve got lots of room here for them so I’m going to show them now and then. Continue reading
