There are echoes lost in the garden, is anybody listening?

Some more photos from the shoot I had with Sunniva (Sòl) last summer, in context with her band, Vǫluspá, releasing their first album. We wanted to experiment with different backgrounds and lighting to see how we could create a different mood with the same outfit. I quite like the forest background, it works well with the viking-theme we usually go for, although it was a nightmare to shoot here with thousands of mosquitoes trying to eat us alive. We suffered through it though (Sunniva the most, being the one with the least amount of clothes) in the hope that some of the photos would turn out great, which I think they did!
Also, if anyone finds my editing to be horrible, bear with me, I’ve never had any Photoshop courses, so all my photos are victims of try and fail, or try and succeed! The more I edit though, the more I learn, and the more I love the endless possibilities that Photoshop give us.

Finally! Here’s some of the photos I took of Sunniva last summer, in context with her band, Vǫluspá, releasing their first album. Check out their songs here or on Facebook here . I love how the colours in the background compliment the feathers she’s wearing, and I’m quite happy with the way these pictures turned out. I have a few more photos I’d like to share with you guys, so stay tuned 🙂
Oh, also:
I’ve been wanting to change my blog theme for a while, and finally got around to do so, giving it a more professional look and making my photos HUGE so that they stand out more. What do you guys think?
Hey, we’ve got the world to see, so let’s forget our anxieties and get on our way

Just some very improvised pictures I took the other day while tidying my room (everything is more fun than that, am I right?). The light in my room is perfect for some nice natural light-portraits, so in the lack of a better model, I went ahead and took a few “selfies” using my 35 mm lens and the timer.
Hurray for longer days, hurray for more and more sunlight, hurray for spring!

Some more photos from The Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. They have these storytellers telling different stories in context with the different areas. Would recommend this to everyone! Loved the colours on her outfit, so asked kindly to take a photo of her, which she said yes to (: Pretty!
Ma belle amie, Claire

Here is the rest of the photos I took when Camille and Claire came to visit me in Edinburgh. This is beautiful Claire!
I must say I was really impressed with both of them, smiling and wearing only thin dresses in the freezing cold weather with winds and 6*C, bad ass french girls.
Only one exam left now and then it’s back to Norway, woooo!

More photos from my trip to France. The nature is absolutely breathtaking! Went to visit Camille in Saint Etienne de Fontbellon, a charming and beautiful place which I hope I’ll get the chance to visit again. Took so many pictures on this trip, so there will be at least one more post (if not two!) from my trip to France.
My summer in squares
Posted on August 31, 2013
A couple (a lot) of photos from my summer in Norway! It’s been such a nice summer with so many exciting happenings! Right now I’m just enjoying my last days in Norway, packing, voting, spending time with my family and getting everything sorted before going back to Edinburgh. At this moment I’m currently in a fancy hotel in Bergen with Elisabeth to see Kaizers Orchestra for the very last time. It’s sad to know that this will be the last time I get to see them live, never thought a band could mean so much for me. My plan is to enjoy every second of this concert!
Not to long before I’m back in Edinburgh again as well, can’t wait to get settled in the new flat and get started with my new courses!
Lots and lots of blog post are queuing with tons of photos from my summer, so stay tuned!
Aurora – Last Breeze of Summer
Posted on October 16, 2012
The last bunch of photos taken this summer, thought it was about time to share them.
There is so much to do these days! School is hard, but I really, really enjoy it here. It is so nice to be able to make my own food whenever I want, and to sleep in a big, soft bed. I got the best flat mates I could ever wish for as well, so life is great!
I’m leaving with my sunshine this friday, for our three day-adventure with haggis adventure, the trip I wrote about here. Can’t wait! A whole weekend away from school work, with my sunshine and with so many opportunities to take some amazing photos! I really hope we get some sunny days, even though the weather forecast says it’s going to rain… But fingers crossed!
Sunniva – In the cold, cold night
Posted on September 15, 2012
Sunniva again! The last photos from our summer shoot. I find these to be the best pictures we haven taken together so far, just love the light and how she looks so much like a “dead” doll! Once again, I must confess, the inspiration came from Lill and her amazing pictures!
Life is good! I finally start my classes on monday. Hopefully this will mean a bit more free time to take some pictures!
