The year 2024 has come to an end and it is time to look back and remember some of the fun highlights. I had the opportunity to photograph with a lot of talented dancers, and we created some unique photos together.
I have mostly been photographing with natural light, or constant light sources, but this year I bought two new studio flashes and set up a studio background in the kitchen. Previously when I was photographing in the Green Room I would spend some time in photoshop cleaning things up and trying to make it look like a studio, now when I have a studio space I instead try to add character back into the blank background, and I have found newfound appreciation for the character of the Green Room.
Alice Öhman on the ice. We wanted some heavier shoes for this picture, so she borrowed mine, while I was standing in my socks on a jacket.Johannes Tenstam wearing jewellery by Johanna Björnson. Details are important, and having some great accessories can make a photo pop.Ahtayaw Ea wearing jewellery by Johanna BjörnsonArianna Hall with some dried orchid flowers that had been laying around waiting for the perfect moment to shine.Victor Lans at Konstakademien in Stockholm. It was really fun to photograph an improvised dance performance in this art gallery.Signe Åman using my old mirror frame. I like how she placed the shadow from the frame over her eyes.Emelie Boll, the hand was a nice touch in this photo.Ellen Johansson. Sometimes you just get lucky and the birds align up perfectly with the spacing of the hands.Nora Sofie Smedbakken Hov on a rainy day. We decided to open the window for a short while to get the framing.Margherita Pascariello in her amazing fur coat.Mille Skov and her impossible arms, amazing.Emma Oldin Lazaroff with all her old diaries.Julia Victoria Gianetti on a windy day at Amager Strand in København.Birta Ósk Þórólfsdóttir. and Elina Juslin.

This was a really fun collaboration with the museum.Sofia Boström at my favourite place, Kråkudden.Susanna Carreño Primera and Alexander Mockrish.

I do not know how she manages to create interesting poses like this.Elida Thorsen. It is all about the right foot.Arianna Hall. Two things to create interest in a photo, twisting the body, and hiding some parts of the dancer.Felicia Taube Eliasson in the Green Room.Pauline Berg Lerstad. I like photos that make you stop and wonder, how?William Jögi making shapes with the distortion of the 20mm lens.Saga Jansson and Siri Persson. Candid photos often have more life than the posed photos.Nora Olsen, amazing evening with the setting sun at Brunnsviken. We did not have a lot of time, so we climbed up on the rocks to get the last evening light from the sun.Maria Avatare. There are a couple of old hooks in the kitchen ceiling that we decided to use.Maija Mustonen BjörkmanElise RosnesMoa NilssonEllen Kastensson, Livia Skarp and Valentina Schwentner.

This concludes the eleventh year of my photo blog project. Here you can find the highlights from previous years.
If you edit your own photos in Photoshop then take a moment to read about AdobeRGB colour space and 8-bit jpeg. It was an important lesson I learned, that you do not always want the biggest colour space if you save an image as 8-bit instead of 16-bit.
