The first one is for an architect named Euan Gray. He is currently building bespoke huts for various purposes (camping, reading, writing, gardening) in the Scottish countryside. I went to his workshop to get a portrait of him in his building environment. My favorite shot is below. I have to say the the soft light in Scotland when the sky is cloudy is so damn beautiful. You can check out Euan’s website at Wild Hutte for more info on his huts.

 

 

The other shot is a portrait of my wife Lena. I wanted to experiment with the idea of pixels and how we have come to view them as the building blocks of our new digital reality. In some respect we are all pixels now with our digital/online persona being the main thing people know about us. I find it interesting to figure out how to balance time in the digital realm with our time in the outside world. My wife is currently finishing her Masters in Design Ethnography and she has a couple of interesting websites as well… Lenacorinna and Luminurture.
