black & white ... in nature!
One of the many things i have been working in recent months is my black & white & i've remembered how much i love it. The feel is so completely different to that of my colour work, it has a classic & timeless feel, reminiscent of my film days. My original photography shop on etsy is now solely for black & white ... & whilst it has a limited selection of images available right now i plan on adding many more in the not too distant future!

around the world with fPOE ... this week it's Gothenburg, Sweden
So i know this is called around the "world" with fPOE but right now it's feeling much more like around "Europe" with fPOE ... & i can't lie i kinda like. Being english, & living in Germany i love to see the many creative & talented photographers we have in Europe & in my mind it seems as if we've had them flocking (don't you love my choice of words) to fPOE in recent months. It brings fresh inspiration & a new perspective to everyone's work & i for one love it! Anyways so our whirlwind tour of Europe has taken in the sights of England, (not so sunny) Germany, & Latvia in recent weeks & now we're heading up to Scandinavia to check out the gorgeous photography of Karin Andersson. & no that's not Gothenburg in the photograph!
When i think Sweden i can't lie i think IKEA & thank fully i don't get that with Karin's work. There's nothing "mass produced" in her style, it's not something you would find hanging on the walls over every tom, dick & harry (although it would be wonderful it you could) because it is a little more unique. To me Karin's work is incredible pretty, her use of pastels & subdued tones, & small details such as the incorporation of textures bring something seemingly boring to life. I find myself at peace looking at her work, infused with calm & quiet moments. & i love her wonderful composition especially within her fruit pictures. It's as if she found them just sitting there patiently waiting for the right person to come along & photograph them.

& a pair of cherries all waiting for Karin's magic touch!

nick & nikki ...
Meet Nick & Nikki ... they were the cutest couple, i swear they laughed the entire session! Prior to arriving in Germany 2 weeks back to visit Nikki's sister who's stationed here Nick had been seeing the sights of the sandbox where he has been working as a contractor. They saw each other at the airport for the first time in 7 months. & Nick had surprised Nikki with the shoot! They were gorgeous & so much fun.
