This past Thursday Sarah Plate, Ahtayaw Ea and Maja Dahlbäck from Balettakademien and our favourite clothing designer Linn Hermander came out to Näsbypark for a photoshoot. We started at 8:30, and finished twelve hours later, so this is quite a photo heavy blog post, we simply had so much great material.
We started with a series of photos at Kråkudden. It is fantastic to have this secluded little area to photograph so close. I have been shooting there quite a few times now, watching how it changes with the seasons. From time to time we meet some of the other regulars there, and they get a little dance show to watch.

These stones are normally under water, but this time the water level was quite low so we made use of them.Maja Dahlbäck. Just adding a single reed adds character to the photo.Maja Dahlbäck. When shooting in direct sunlight we used a silver reflector which gave almost a studio quality to the light.Maja DahlbäckSarah Plate wearing a skirt by Linn Hermander.Linn and Sarah experimenting with a cloth in the water. We got the “ice berg” shot, followed by the “Titanic”…Ahtayaw Ea using Linn’s cloth.Ahtayaw Ea, the Alien Egg.Sarah Plate wearing a beautiful pearl necklace that Linn Hermander created the night before.
Time really runs away when you have fun. A bit sun burned, but happy we headed out to buy some lunch and a ton of ice cream. Part two of the photoshoot was indoors in the Green Room.

This photo eventually became the poster for the exhibit “Snurr” at Dansmuseet in Stockholm from 25 november 2023 to 26 may 2024.Sarah Plate wearing “Linn Kristina”. This was Linn Hermander.’s final project at Tillskärarakademien.Maja Dahlbäck. Maja had found a photo of a nice dress on Instagram, so she showed Linn, as inspiration for future photoshoots. “I can make that now” Linn said, and she literally made it while we were photographing one of the other dancers.Ahtayaw EaAhtayaw Ea. When sorting through the photos Sarah took a photo of the computer screen and made a funny edit of this photo with a basket ball and basket hoop, which inspired me to do this edit.Maja and AhtayawMaja and AhtayawMaja and AhtayawMaja and AhtayawAhtayaw and MajaMaja and AhtayawMaja and AhtayawAhtayaw Ea
