We're moving back to the 30's. Elsa's husband is dead and the mourning work has been difficult and stressful for her. To get Elsa to change her mind, a friend has taken her out on a picnic in nature between Anten and Gräfsnäs. It is a lovely summer day and the heat makes Elsa fold behind her veil of sorrow to enjoy the sun. Pretty soon a feeling of well-being appears. It feels like this day can be the beginning of a change, something new, something that can make life go on again.
I took this picture with an English large format camera (Thornton Pickard) from the late 19th century. I have used sheet film 13X18 instead of glass plates. Then I photographed the negative and did the final image processing in Lightroom.

I've always had a keen interest in photography in various forms. I have devoted myself to this in parallel with my professional life as a teacher. I am a self taught photographer who loves to photograph people in different situations especially in the Street Photography genre. It is exciting and interesting to observe and photograph both when traveling in different countries and at home. It often becomes pictures with humor and commitment that guide me when I depict reality.
I also take arranged pictures where I direct friends and acquaintances who act as actors. My ambition is to entertain, provoke and touch. Several pictures were taken with an English large format camera (Thornton Pickard) from the late 19th century. I have photographed the negatives and then done the final image processing in Lightroom.
