I just found out about the SOPA/PIPA that I had never heard of until my picture was blackened today (to raise awareness). If anyone has some more information, please write a comment, I really want to find out more!

I´m in Bali! I really wanted to share a picture with you guys. This is from Kuta Beach, where we´re staying until tomorrow. My wonderful boyfriend Tomas held the camera this time, (I did the edit). He likes photography himself and helps me if I need assistant with my photography, either modelling or shooting :)

The environment here is breathtaking. So beautiful!! I hope you´re all having a great day/night/evening, wherever you are!

I created this image for the project Secret 7". It´s a competition to design an artwork for Florence + the Machine, in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. On january 20 the voting starts and you will be able to vote for me ^_^

You were supposed to interpret the song "Only if for a night". When I heard this song, I saw a person in my head, doing handstands in the graveyard. I felt that this was someone who was brave enough to dare death, someone who wasn´t afraid to stand and fight. Someone who´s inner strength would glow in the night. I wanted it to be in black and white to create a ghostly mood, and also a feeling that this could be a memory.

Tomorrow I´m off to Bali! I´m travelling with my boyfriend and we´re going to stay there for 5 weeks. Expect some shots from there soon!

"Rastplats" is a place along the road where you can park your car to take some fresh air, go to the toilet or maybe have a cup of coffee. Me and my boyfriend did a stop while we were driving up to my countryhouse this weekend, and the sky was so magical that I had to catch it with my camera :)

I was tagged by the wonderful person and artist ginaballerina a while ago. So I will try to do my best and answer the same questions that she answered ^_^ I might tag some of you too, so if you dont like to be tagged, I´m sorry! Feel free to send me an angry flickrmail ;) I think that if you´re tagged, you´re supposed to answer the questions (but honestly I don´t really know how these things work ha ha!)

Part three in my Bubble-serie.

I managed to upload a new photo, yay! :)

The edit of this one is inspired by one of my favourite photographic artists: Helena Blomqvist. The b&w-processing is inspired by Parkeharrisson.

You can see a before/after-picture on my Facebookpage!

Hi guys! I´m sorry for uploading this again, but I felt I needed to say hi to all wonderful flickrfriends out there! Though I haven´t uploaded anything in a week, I check in to flickr everyday (like ten times!) to follow all of your amazing works! I love you all so much!

I´m editing a new bubble-picture at the moment, but I´m a little sad because I can´t sit very long in front of my computer to edit because I have some problem with my arms and hands. Anyone have any tips for this kind of issue? I know it´s quite common these days to get a problem when sitting a lot in front of a computer, but there should be some helpful changes you could do... I hope! :)

I´m uploading stuff to my new Facebook-page, please check that out if you like what I´m doing!

Also, I´m featured in We See It Magazine and I´m SO happy about it! My first feature ever!!!! :D

Have a LOVELY Happy New Years Eve ♥

I am still thinking about a title for this picture. I love to put titles on my photographs, but sometimes I wonder if a title can say too much, and in this case I´m not sure if a title is necessary. WHAT DO YOU THINK? It would be fun to get some suggestions for a title! Feel free to interpret this photograph and come up with a title if you feel like it! ;)

I´ve decided to leave it untitled, but you can still tell me if you come up with a title!

Honestly I don´t know what is happening with my photographich style right now. Every picture I create at the moment draws me to black and white. Maybe it´s the "Summer memories" project that makes me want to create images from a memory, giving them this vintage/old style.
