Not all pics I took, just some. I’m not finished with all the nice pics from Lisbon a month ago, so I’ll add a few more later on but still, here is a start… (click).

Up in the air.

Another picture from Lisbon, where the backdrop means a lot. Colourful houses helps, right?

Within a couple a weeks, I’ll add a gallery with several of my Lisbon pictures…

The Benfica fan.

Just came back from Lisbon yesterday, after five intensive days of shooting. One fun memory was of this lady – putting on a show for us as she and a relative were fighting over Benfica and Sporting. I call her “Tia Benfica”, approx auntie Benfica…

As the world pass by.

On the train to Gothenburg, as I was prepping my camera, I couldn’t resist taking a picture of this girl.

She was doing the exact same thing as so many other do on a train – looking out the window.

Towards… something.

Sometimes you just see people aiming at something you can’t see yourself. But their faces are magic.

“Where do I look?”, she asked slightly worried.

I’d just stepped up to her and asked nicely if I could take a portrait. I worked out well, I think.

Screening people

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again. This bit with smartphones is to a street photographer both irritating and nice.

It’s easier to take a pic as people don’t see you immediately and also the blueish light from the screens help to light up their faces. But. It’s getting harder to get that magic look straight into my camera these days…

Met him at Korsvägen a late afternoon last August. He stood out a bit, as he was the best dressed person around.

“Off course I am, I’m a tailor”, he said…

Friendly meet.

In a tight alley, outside a coffee shop in Gothenburg I met him. I spite of dark afternoon I figured that the lighting where he sat would turn out well. So I had to talk to him a bit, as I also got several nice shots. Nice guy.
