Fata Morgana

Last week I met up with Kale Lazarick and Matthea Pedersen from the Royal Swedish Ballet School for a dance photoshoot in Näsbypark. We started outdoors at Kråkudden, which is beautifully situated not far from the train station, and then we headed indoors to my apartment for the second half of the photoshoot.

Kale Lazarick, found a small stone just under the surface of the water. Walking on water.
Matthea Pedersen spotted the reed, so we made a small detour into the vegetation.

Kale Lazarick. I always keep an eye out for natural frames. Here by photographing from a low angle we could get rid of the shoreline in the background and just have a clean background behind Kale.

Despite it being end of May it was getting a bit cold, so we decided to switch locations and head indoors.
