White background, short depth of field and short exposure time.
And a towel and a bucket to clean up the mess after each exposure…

Perpignan in fond memory.
I have attended the press photo festival several years. Always in fond memory for the exhibitions, workshops, colleagues and the city. A special theme for my own photography has been “door art”. You will understand when you see my pictures. Always lively in color and graffiti. The door knobs not to forget. Photographers tend to like the small things that will catch the eye, but perhaps not what everybody can see.
When ever I go on a journey and bring my camera, I am looking for a theme to explore. In Perpignan it wasn´t difficult to find one.

A promise for the new year?
Could it be? I miss writing and posting here on my blog, so I should try to better myself during this new year. Posting new and old photographs. And writing about photography. Mine and others. I am today a pensionist, but still active and I really love my profession. So here to start this new year is another look in the rear view mirror. Some photographs for Bågar & Glas here in Stockholm. I brought them out from my archive and updated them with some new color. Bågar & Glas is a well established optician in Stockholm.
😊 Wishing you all a fine 2025, Pelle
This was The Image Bank version at the time.
Alphabet city
Perhaps you thought that is only a part of New York City, but it is everywhere. You don´t believe me? I will show you. This is an exercise I did in art school, but I also did it not so long ago. Back then it was in b/w but now it is in color. I didn´t go far to get all the letters. It is great fun and you can do it in many different ways. Like every season. In sunny or cloudy weather.
I made it in English and stopped short of Å, Ä and Ö, but I found them too. A good exercise on your next stroll in the city. Wherever you are. This is Stockholm.

A long and dear cooperation
It started in 1998. I had met Peter Schäublin at a Sinar workshop in Schaffhaussen, Switzerland. At the time he worked at the company as head of prints, brochures etc. We became friends and started to share ideas. We came up with the idea of a calendar and made the first one in 1998, together with the local Swiss printer Stamm. We kept it up until 2019, with only two years that we missed. Time and economics change so it is no more. It was a dear challenge to me to come up with new ideas for images every year. The very first images were produced with my Dicomed Digital 4×5″ scanner camera.
Peter, a very talented photographer and graphic designer, developed a design that complimented my images. Over the years it became more and more playful.
Here is a small selection of images. I used flowers, toys, food, used gloves, vegetables, old tools, ice, instruments, spoons, watches etc. for props. It is all very much “Pelle Style”.
If you would like to see more images from our cooperation , have a look at my homepage: https://www.znapshot.se/kalendrar-2002-2019
I really love being a photographer!

Perhaps to be included in the 2019 calendar
These images could be selected for the 2019 calender. A project I have made for about 20 years together with my dear friend Peter Schaeublin in Schaffhaussen, Switzerland. And the Stamm printers. The calendar has always been a giveaway and is not for sale.

I went fishing…
A week ago I went fishing with friends in Norway. Not a rod in sight. I am usually not going around with a camera just in case, but this was different.

For a start…
Horses and jockeys, off course. But there would be no races without starters. They assist the jockeys in loading the horses into the boxes and they help calming some nervous horses. Here are e few images from yesterdays races, and some of the starters at Bro Park. It is always such an inspiration to go there.
First, the races.
And now some starters.

Been there, done that
But, every year there are different artists and a new look, so today is not as before. Go there for an almost once in a lifetime experience. I will be back with my images from my visit soon. Article from The Guardian. 😀 Pelle
Founded in 1989, the Icehotel in Swedish Lapland is built from the snow up each year, using ice from the local river. The rooms are designed by international artists and this year feature spacemen and an ice queen
Top image: The hotel has 35 suites, featuring ice carvings designed by 36 different artists from 17 countries. Queen of the North (created by Emilie Steele and Sebastian Dell’Uva) is one of the more intense rooms, with the bed surrounded by the head and hands of an icy goddess.
