    Flower photography and visual storytelling with Marte Marie Forsberg – Part 2

    March 24, 2016 /

    It always comes down to flowers for me. The slightest chance that I get to hold a few blooms and arrange them, photograph them, re-enact a ‘story’, and I am there. Never mind it is across the Atlantic. That is how I felt about this workshop and opportunity to style and photograph alongside Marte Marie Forsberg and her special guest Anna Potter of Swallows and Damsons.

Harbor swagger. I don't recall Carl ever saying no Harbor swagger. I don't recall Carl ever saying no to being an impromptu model. This is the year I am taking advantage of it and practicing that human element in my photos.
