Bref, j'ai fait une scene ouverte

These pictures were taken two years ago, at an open mike, somewhere in Paris. I don't remember where, because it took me a year to learn the Parisian subway stations. But it was a great evening. 
People who attended to this event were: a room mate, a boyfriend with a quiet companion, a cat, a photographer, and a bunch of frenchies. They sang along, drank wine - got drunk. I played, drank sirop à la violette, smiled and went home.

Spring Kitsch

 Today I'm blogging from yesterdays' lovely photoshoot with Julia Alderin. She's the photograph behind the pictures of me and vice versa. We went down to the riverside, and styled up for our session on the bridge. The light was absolutely stunning, and afterwards we had coffee in my flower cups!

Julia is a huge kitsch fan and dresses up in lovely vintage clothes. Pastel colors, details and lace are her personal favorites. This amazing girl is a visual merchandiser student and the maker of her own  jewelry.

Since the natural light was so good, almost every picture we took turned out really well. Some small edits in Camera Raw/Photoshop and voilà all done!
So today we're celebrating Natural light, Camera Raw (if you're not already shooting in Raw, start now!) and the first day of spring!

Enjoy!
Bisous

Coucou,

I'm posting this blog post after a long day out in the spring sun. I feel like I have to update this little flowershop more often, but the winter has been long, dark and cold I don't seem to be able to do what so ever in these conditions. I still hope though, that inspiration will come back with les beaux jours.

I'm very happy to know that people are following this blog, my life and my projects. To update you a bit on the subject I will do my next internship at Paperdolls - the beautiful shop I blogged about a couple of months ago. I'm preparing for some interesting and challenging weeks in Paris in april. (and loads of coffee and croissants)
My music project is slowly progressing and I'm preparing a EP for this autumn together with my band The Flowershop. Francois and Lionel came visiting me in Sweden last week and part from having just a splendid time together we took the time to work on some really nice songs!

An other project that also is starting to take form is Le son du metro. An album featuring 12 buskers from Paris (including myself) that will have it's release this spring. If you find that interesting take a look at the website and listen to the featured artists music.

But, even though the thought of the future can carry me away sometimes I really try to enjoy every second of every day. I hope you do too!


Carpe Diem,
Emma-Klara

KLOVER

I came upon this portrait of myself taken by mr Thomas Humery, a fashion photographer who works for Vogue among others. We did a photo shoot together last year when I still lived in Paris and these pictures were taken in the area around the beautiful bookshop Shakespeare & CO. I thought it would be nice to share a piece of my Parisian life (especially) with those of you who haven't yet been to Paris.
Today I also got the great news that I'll be going there myself in april to do an internship as a Visual Merchandiser. I'm really excited about that!

Färgstark i vinterdimma

Today I had the great pleasure to do a photoshoot with my friend Emelie. We went down to the lake where boats slept under blankets of snow and where the time almost seemed to be standing still. I pass by this place every morning when going to school and ever since I saw these boats for the first time I've been wanting to take portraits here. (So now I'm happy)
I loved the combination of Emelies red hair and purple jacket to the winter grey surroundings and it was so fun to be back behind the camera again.

Also, my new 50 mms lens was just as amazing as I'd hoped!

Love to you all,

33 ways to stay creative

This weekend Julia, Martha and her boyfriend Henrik and I went on, what would come to be, the BEST secondhand roadtrip of the year. At the end of the day the car was filled with treasures we'd found and we all came upon really nice things. I bought myself a nice, new hat for only 50kr and a bunch of other nice things I'm sure you will get to see soon.

Yesterday night must have been this winters coldest night: -28 degrees Celsius. I've been inside by the fireplace all day not doing anything really. Me and Hanna had a long, breakfast/brunch this morning with home made scones, and after I played jazz standards on my piano thinking about F.  (Who'll be here in only 2 weeks now) Yey!
I'm looking forward to this week in school - I feel we all have grown closer and I really enjoy myself here.



Unfortunately I was unable to find the author of this amazing list, but who ever you are you just gave me 33 new "rules" to live by.




Have a lovely week,
