Helena and Mark








Today i met Helena and Mark for the first time. They are gonna get married soon so we spent some time drinking coffee, talking and planning about photography during their big day, and in the end we also took a walk and photographed a little.
Their first comment was that they did not know how to stand and what to do in front of the camera, and that it has not been often at all for them to pose for a photographer
(exactly the same words that almost every couple say when we first meet)!
We photographed for almost 10 minutes and during this time it felt like they were transformed into experienced models. Their photos talk themselves... :-)
Thanks Helena and Mark for your trust! I am so really looking forward to being with you all day at your wedding day!
Helena, i was really flattered to know that you had made your mind and chosen us allready since January, when we met in Grand Hotel!
I was also flattered to know about the other name that colleague photographers use for me; "greken"! :-))

Karl with his father.


I love pictures that show emotions and a strong connection between two persons.
That's why i love so much to "catch" these valuable moments especially when photographing a wedding.
But i am a real sucker when the two persons are father and son. I find it really hard to hold back my tears when i see an old father crying (hopefully of happiness and proudness) looking at his son. It always reminds me of my own father who in the age of 74 lives some 3000 km far away, and of how much we miss each other...
The picture above is not from a wedding but it feels special anyway. The little Karl was photographed with his sister and parents some days ago, but it was this photo with his father that immediately became my favorite.

Nils becomes 7 weeks old!
























First time we met Elisabeth and Andreas was at their wedding day, 3 years ago. Last Saturday it was time again, when little Nils became 7 weeks old!
It feels always great meeting people and photographing them, saving on photopaper really special and unique moments.

Photographing so young babies is really unique! It's amazing how fast they grow-up and change, and one understands that only after some months or a couple of years, while looking back at photos or videos, and only then really seeing the huge difference (we are talking from own experience, by our own children!)!

It was a joy to meet and photograph Nils (and his parents of course) who although a little tired, offered us really big smiles and loughs!

Birthday celebration with friends!




















When William and Isaak had their birthday (both been born the same day) they invited their friends for some party at Lekis.
Lekis is a very cool place! The children have a huge place indoors to climbe, jump, run and sweat, while the parents get the chance to meet each other and have some coffee. But the most important is that there is no need for cleaning at home after the party, and that the children are so tired after the party time that they are really looking forward to going early to sleep! :-)
The party was a real success and everybody is looking forward for the next one, hopefully at the same place!
ps: have you noticed that no girls are present/invited at the party? Well, the priorities are still diferent than, let's say, when having a similar party ten years later! :-)

The Nobel prizes 2009.
















Last year we had the honour to be the official photographers of the Nobel Foundation, and thus to photograph the Nobel Laureates from their arrival to the swedish capital city and during the whole Nobel Week. Of course, we were there to photograph the zenith of the celebrations at the Stadshuset, the Nobel Banquet.
We are so excited that we shall have the same privilege again this year, to photograph during the Nobel Week 2009!

Here comes some photos from the previous year, with the kind permition of the Nobel Foundation.
Though it was we that we photographed, the copyright of the pictures belongs to the Nobel Foundation, so for permission to materials which the Nobel Foundation holds copyright, please contact Annika Pontikis, Public Relations Manager at info@nobel.se.
