A DIFFERENT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
WHAT TRADES
THAT ABOUT?
A documentary family photography where I portray your family and all that you are in a completely unconditional way. Everyday life contains so many nice and simple moments and it is precisely those moments that form your unique story.
THE JOY OF BEING -136bad5cf58d_IMPERFECT
MY NEW LIFE MOTTO
HOW DO I REALLY THINK?
Our everyday life is far from perfect.
A chaotic mixture of laughter, mischief, tears & fatigue.
It's a blissful mess of diaper changes, admonitions, hugs, siblings arguing
over a single toy even though there are millions of others scattered all over the house. Especially Lego...
It's parents who step on the scattered Lego pieces and swear to themselves about it.
You mix eating routines with evening mood and cuddling.
Life simply...
Since childhood, our brain is trained to look forward. "You get candy when you eat the food",
"You get a bike when you turn 5". "You will be happy then, when you meet your right one/when you have a baby/
when you get your dream job"... The thing about stopping and enjoying the moment,
you have to learn that yourself.
The here documentary story about your family is an attempt to rehabilitate everyday life.
For you and for me.
Because actually it's probably perfect, if you stop and feel it.
Although the foot still hurts from the damn lego…
Imagine having
those little ones
priceless moments
immortalized in a picture!
HOW WOULD IT GO TO?
This shoot includeseverything that happens in your familyfrom when you wake up until when you go to bed.
In order for it to flow as naturally as possible, I need to sleep over with you the night before.Like when the children wake up in the morning
do they meet their friend Edita,
instead of a stranger with a camera.
Plan up to 3 activitiesfor the whole family to get involved in during the day. I recommend choosing activities that are simple and usually part of your typical day. By that I mean such simple things as playing in the playground, tinkering with playdoh at home, visiting grandma, shopping for food at Ica, etc. These activities are actually to avoid everyone sitting on their phone or toad. Of course you do it at some point during the day, but there is not much information about your relationship in such situations.
As much as possible, try to plan suchactivities that get the whole family involved, or at least be in the same room, in the same place.
We want to includeall family members in these photos, not just the kids.
We need to put the parents "on the map".
Remember that when I'm alone with the kids, I'm not a babysitter though. As long as their activities do not pose a threat to life or serious injury, I let them be kept. Do they paint on the walls or fill your shoes with gravel
so it is as it is.
It will still be quite intense for everyone.
Therefore we take a little break from each other in the afternoon, if it fits. I'm going for a little walk so you'll have some alone time.
I KNOW IT FEELS WEIRD TO LET A STRANGER GO
IN HIS LIFE & HIS HOME
(and you said: "Ok, because you were acting like it's not")
De-dramatize everything by thinking of me as a friend
THAT'S WHAT I WANT AND NEED TO BE
SO THAT ACTUALLY ANY PHOTOGRAPHY SHOULD GO WELL
We will hang out, hang out
and I happen to have a camera with me
This photoshoot is actually less "troublesome" than the shorter portrait sessions.
I don't tell you what to do,
I control nothing except
my own position.
That original awkwardness about having a photographer with you for a whole day still goes away quite quickly, by the simple explanation that you have your everyday life to take care of. You can't bear to care in the end.
NOW LET'S POP THAT QUESTION!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
AND WHAT IS INCLUDED?
-
photography for 14-16 hours (actually, I spend a total of 24 hours at your place)
-
a selection of images edited in both color and black and white, prepared for print(approx. 600-800), as well as web-adapted low-resolution copies,
-
a slideshow that becomes a beautiful summary of your unique ordinary day, easy to share with friends and family,
-
and, the cherry on the cake, a nice photo book with the very best pictures!
SEK 9,600, including VAT
split into a 30% booking fee and a further 1 or 2 payments
after the delivery of the slideshow
IT IS EXACTLY THE PHOTOBOOK THAT IS THE END PRODUCT ITSELF
something real, something you experience both with
sight, touch and even smell.
I want you as a customer to get that from me,
a physical object that takes up space in your home,
MY CRAFT CREATED WITH LOVE FOR YOUR FAMILY!
You can't compare the experience of flipping through a real book with a digital one, but at least you can see a preview here
Travel costs within 30 miles round trip from the starting point are included,
but I also expect a possible ride to the bus or train station
depending on where you livebecause unfortunately I can't drive a car.
Likewise, I hope to get food from you :) Omnivores here!
I still need to expand my portfolio andbecause
do I have the right to be able to use the images in my marketing on the blog and social media.
You may use the images for private use. About this we sign a simple agreement.
But even then, I would never post a picture that is about something intimate or very personal without asking your permission first.
