Photoshoot in the studio with J.B., Nail & DNA.
I hardly ever use the white background so it was quite nice. We did some dark ones, too.
But sometimes (read always) i really wish that there were a bit more space in the studio.
Nifelheim is the shit!! A few of the coolest and probably the most fun hours I will ever spend in the studio.
Lots and lots of gear, including a small coffin, a homemade spiderweb maker (a BRILLIANT invention by Hellbutcher!!) a black plastic bag containing 3 rotten goatheads and all that heavy, spiky stuff the band wear at concerts. Wonder what can be worst…a couple of hours on stage or half a day in a photostudio with all that weight. I´m still very proud of my work that day…and of course for them choosing me as their photographer. They actually booked med almost a year in advance to make sure I´d be available :D
Photoshoot with Spazmosity, a blackmetal band from Stockholm. There were blood…lots of it EVERYWHERE!
We tried to keep it clean on the studio floor in the beginning, but after a couple of hours we had to give up. Simply too much of the stuff…Luckily it was quite easy to clean the floors when we were finished. And the guys did their part, of course. Fun day;)

Mika called me thursday night and asked if I could do a really fast photoshoot on him and his guitar för the Jackson catalogue. I have been up my ears in work lately and I..m not finished yet with the latest bandpics but what could you do? So yesterday he drove all the way from Finspång for a very quick visit in the studio. The shortest photoshoot I..ve done:) Maybe 1-2 hours or so.Great weather right now!! Icecreamwithstrawberryjamweather!!!
Got a package from Regain today with some stuff containing various bandpics I took for a while ago. A collection of Dismember and Nifelheim posters, CD:s and vinyls.
I love the Nifelheim vinyl!! It looks great with the bigger photos . Even the quite crappy black & red livephoto from Hovet looks nice on the gatefold.

25th of January 2008
Peter (Deceiver, ex-Maze of Torment] dropped by for some promo pics for his solo project FLESH. The following year the project became THE PETE FLESH DEATHTRIP.
The album “Mortui Vivos Docent” was released in 2013 and one of the pictures ended up on the CD.
Some smokes, some coffee and he made friends with my cat Werner:)
Photo shoot in Studio Fiat Lux, Sthlm. November (or december ?) of 2007.
Pictures to promote the “Dismember” album release February 2008 [Regain Records]
Took some pics on Dismember for about a week ago…
It was really cool:) Haven´t asked yet when I can set up an album, so I guess I´ll wait ´till I know for sure I´ts ok. I´ll tell you!
The Plan: Tomorrow Nattas will pick me up and off we go to Katrineholm…don´t know yet if I can make it. Really hope so, and it could be nice and I really need some fun right now. Other bands at the venue (Gamla Palladium) tomorrow are: Calm, Astral Carneval & Dead Victims.
Did some bandpics with Nifelheim yesterday.
I´m not allowed to show any of the pics yet but It was the coolest thing I´ve ever done!! I just adore these guys and I´ve been waiting for this photoshoot for about a year or so. So now I´m only hoping they will be happy with the pics…otherwise I maybe end up in one of their coffins…
Later // Soile
