There are interior
photographers that breeze in and out of your home, get the shots the editor
asked for, and split before the good evening light comes because they'd rather get an early reservation at a hip eatery. And then there are
photographers like Emma Mattsson.
Emma, still in her 20s,
shoots many different kinds of homes and businesses for her ‘reportage’
(rep-port-TAYGE) to Scandinavian publications.
Her business card is very sleek and sexy: a black and white abstract image
of two young women’s bodies fused together.
I was delighted to watch her work with stylist/writer Petra Kjellstroem at my studio, excited to see how a chic European woman would
interpret my cottage.
After she got the shots
she needed the light grew too bright and we went to an early dinner. Returning, the light turned autumnal and
golden. She went up to my loft after Isuggested I light the candles and lamp, and shot. And shot and shot. It was like watching a dancer. Bowing, bending, ear to the floor, then leaning
left, right, forward, back, always closer and closer.
Emma ‘got’ what I tried
to do with a fantasy space, and shot it in the way a romantic would
see it. And the gift of her
interpretation of my cottage is priceless.
I love the way Emma saw it.
Until next time, stay shabby!

Hi... Just found your beautiful blog. I love your way of doing things , and now I'm inspired ...Thanks...I just started blogging and I would like to invite you to visit by blog...Blessings Lori
Those are breathtaking shots Sandy. I can only hope that someday I will be a fraction of that talented in photography. She is truly an artist.
Breathtaking is the perfect word for those shots. I love the first one--the blurred chandelier and that rose at the bottom. That photo is a treasure--thanks for sharing with us! It inspires me to try to be more creative with my photography.
Hi Sandy! I suppose it comes down to a matter of taste, but I LOVE the style of these photos, and understand what you are saying about the photographer enhancing the mood of the space. Completely dreamy!
Hi Sandy,
Your vision and hers have created a dream... ethereal!
Hugs,

It takes a vey rare talent to capture the soul that inhabits a space, it's truly been accomplished in these magical photographs. They are utterly enchanting.
Dearest Sandy,
Emma is a very talented young photographer; no doubt. But you are a very keen observer in the way you worded her work here. Classy work girl, you are getting better and better at it. Seems that your mind is free to formulate your most inner thoughts about the romance you created around you. Wishing you lots of success on your way up; up and up!!!
Love to you,
Mariette

The shots are ethereal - just gorgeous. And I love the way you described how Emma 'danced' to get just the right angle and light. :)
Wishing you a lovely one, Sandy!

These are perfect works of art that showcase YOUR work of art!

I bet your were in a trance watching Emma work, right? To see things through other's eyes, is so much fun.
I love soft lighting and shadows, she captured your window and lamp so well.
