Black & white (with a dash of wood)

Black and white combined is always chic and by adding a some wooden elements to it, I think it is even lovelier. The black and white calendar from Hay is still one of my favourites, but I think it is taken out of production :-(. I can´t seem to find it anywhere...

These images are a few in a series we did for Bonytt magazine earlier this year.

I´m in love

with this beautiful ceramic from Höganäs Keramik, designed by the Swedish design team Front, launched in 2010. I would love the teapot, in white matt or white blank (the grey I could also go for!), I can´t really decide... And of course the bowl, the coffee and tea mugs and the small plates that goes with. In 2011 they added more products to the series, and soon the new pitcher (bottom image) will be added and seen in the stores.

Getting closer...

There´s only ten more days of this month before we hit February, and only a month until my first workshop this spring. If you would like to know more about your camera, how to have control over your images using shutters, f-stops and ISO, learn how to get the perfect light and maybe shoot white on white, this is a workshop for you! On March 3rd.and 4th., in beautiful Bikuben, approximately 1 hour drive from Oslo, you are able to learn all that and a whole lot more.

Sound interesting? Send me an email for more information and prices.

PS! The workshop will unfortunately be held in Norwegian only.

Time flies (when your having fun!)

2012 has already started out to be a busy year and blogging has been put aside. Again :-(. 

So far this year I have visited and photographed a couple of beautiful homes, photographed new wallpaper arrivals (LOVE Andrew Martin´s "lumberjack"), delicious cakes, and a cover for Elle Decoration, Norway. I have even judged the "global chic" challenge that NIB (Norske Interiørblogger) put out earlier this month.

My job is so varied and exciting and I am SO lucky being able to work with something that makes my heart beats faster. My job takes me to many new and great places both in Norway and abroad, and I meet so many wonderful people everywhere I go.

My collegues, all the great and talented stylists, make my job fun and inspiring.Together we try and create new and inspiring images for all you readers of this blog, other blogs and magazines around the world. Hope we are able to inspire you in 2012 too. I will definately try my best! :-)

Here are a few bedrooms I have photographed in the last couple of years which inspires me :-)

The home of Line Dammen, stylist and journalist for Kamille magazine.
