Images and words

Lots of piccies!!

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:01:02 GMT

Woah! A post from me! That's not something you see everyday!
I don't actually have something to say, I just wanna say hi to all of you... so... Hi.

Umm... oh yeah, I have a new tattoo! *shows off*

I'm quite pleased with it. :)

While I'm at it... here's some other recent pics of mine, I know you guys like pics more than hearing me rambling over my boring life. ;)

This is for a band called Garm, for their CD "Beckoning the ravens", the music is folkish black metal. The female model is Zorsha from Nocturnal Models Agency. If you were at the Inferno festival in Norway this year you could see her on stage with both Gorgoroth (crucified) and Shining (as a domina) and she will also be at stage with Gorgoroth at Wacken this summer, don't miss that.

Here's another beautiful missy, model TwiggX, also from Nocturnal Models Agency:

This was taken in the middle of the day in central Gothenburg, she wore thigh high ballet boots and a mini mini MINI skirt in pvc, imagine how people stared (and took mobile pics with her). Haha.

And here's a studio shot of Amanda, also a Nocturnal Model "of course":

She can be seen at billboards all over Sweden right now, with a commercial for Sony Ericsson. She's is subways, bus stops, magazines... everywhere! So if you're in Sweden, you'll probably recognize her. Unfortunately I didn't take the pic for Sony Ericsson but it would have been cool!

Sorry for not posting under a cut, I honestly don't remember how to, but at least it's my own blog. ;)

This is my dear friend Svartfylgia in the woods, I took the pic the day from yesterday... umm Tuesday that is. Some more pics at my Myspace account, however their jpg compression sucks so you won't miss a thing if you skip this link.

Other happenings, in short:
I moved (again) a month ago as well, within Göteborg/Gothenburg.
Me and Svartfylgia will be at Medeltidsveckan i Visby (Medieval week) in August, meet us there!
Tomorrow I'm off to Örebro, where I'm born. I have a small cabin in the countryside for the weekend and me and my friend Anthony from Stockholm will celebrate Midsummer with barbecue and just chilling in the moonlight. Will be great seeing him again.

If you like Devian (former Marduk members), make sure you buy the CD or a tour t-shirt, I took the pics. ;) (t-shirt prints edited by Gustavo Sazes)
Here's a less edited pic of the model, Mary Mayhem:

More such pics here.

There's so much more since the last time I wrote, I think I need to stop here.
So, what's up with all of you? =)

Odium Clothing

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 19:07:19 GMT

Just a quick note with the biggest updates in my life right now!

I now live in Gothenburg, working fulltime for Odium Clothing (clickityclick and shoptilyoudrop)!
So far there has been nothing but a dream come true, I'm so glad I got this opportunity! What a bunch of amazing people I see every day!!
I travel one hour every morning and change tram and stuff to get to work but it's definitely worth it.
Now, hit the link and do me a favor - SHOP! :D

Updated website

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:44:03 GMT

>> Trollkatt.com <<

Happy new year!
I start off the new year with actually having my website updated... I hope this time it will be easier for me to update whenever I have new pics. It was such a long time since I updated my website so I'm sure I have loads of pics I just need to find. Although I'm a Virgo I don't seem to manage to keep my things in order...

I will be having a small exhibition again, this time in Uppsala (Sweden) on January 27. I'm so lazy I will just bring the pictures from my last exhibition... they are still in Stockholm so I need to go there first to get them. And I don't have any drivers license. It sucks by having to rely upon friends and family whenever I need to do these things.
And when I need to buy catlitter sand. I really wish I have a car then. Thankfully I'm a strong gal so I manage without a polluting, expensive, constantly broken carwreck.

The Nocturnal Models Agency shop is now open, go get yourself a nice tee! I already have a spaghetti top, a girlie baseball shirt and a mug. And I'll be getting more as soon as our new pinups are up. I think I'll collect them all. Ha!
NMA pinups now in shop: Mary Mayhem, Dragonlady, Morgaine. Pinups to come (this weekend I think): Ulorin Vex, Nolana, Amelie and another one of Dragonlady. More girls are in the making, the talented JenHell is working her ass off, haha!

Exhibition in Stockholm

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 13:42:21 GMT

"Mystik" - Exhibition in Stockholm, September 23-October 7 and then again later this autumn/winter with a new set of fantasy and goth portraits. Welcome!
Location: Restaurang Elverket, Linnégatan 69

Some pictures from the vernissage Sept. 23. Photos by xMattx.

The location was in central Stockholm in the snobby people headquarter. It became a nice mix with the goths. ;)

Some of the visitors and me

Aurora x 3...

The party... Lola and Morgaine (and my ass, lol)

And some of the pics at the exhibition:

All in all 18 fantasy/goth photos this time, in size 350x500 mm / 500x350 mm.

Thank you everyone who came to the exhibition this far!!

Same session... again...

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 02:54:35 GMT

Haha yeah I know... I need to post my pics in one entry... but nevermind... here's another one. :)

It kinda reminds me of a movie still.

And a closeup...

---------------------[edit]-------------------------

OK, this time I actually used the edit button to put up another image. ;)
Please give me critique, I need it. I've only changed the colours in this pic but I'm thinking of trashing it in Photoshop. Need some ideas though. And then again I'm not sure I want to trash it. I'm beginning to like my photos "clean" with less Photoshop. Hm. Maybe I should keep the colours all original as well? The sky was blue and beautiful and she had a nice glow from sundown. Argh. Decisions!

---------------------[second edit]-------------------------

This is getting ridiculous. Why can't I just edit all the photos and then make ONE post? *lol*

And a closeup, just so you can see her beauty. ;)

Surrender

Another one from my latest session:

Closeup

Cut me loose

Sun, 23 Jul 2006 10:25:43 GMT

Yesterdays session. More to come with this lady but here's the first edit.

Model is MaryMayhem from Nocturnal Models Agency.
MakeUp by Susanne Carlén.
Great job both of you, thanks!

Now I'm off to the cat shelter. (To those of you who have the possibility to adopt an animal, please do! If you have any questions regarding homeless cats I'd be happy to answer them.)

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 12:01:45 GMT

Just a quick post to show off my latest publication. Sorry for being a bit proud. ;)
(hotlinked from magazines website)

A couple of new edits

Mon, 03 Jul 2006 02:47:09 GMT

Recent photoshoot with Nolana

This picture is from an old photoshoot with two members of Morlocks that I decided to play with tonight. The ghost is by far not perfect, but it was just for fun... :)

Please have a look at my friend Visualclashs new, beautiful site Modern Showgirls! (Yeah, I'm in it too!)

I also have another cover out now, for Scandinavian Tattoo Magazine. Their website is not yet updated and I don't have any scan but if you're in Scandinavia, look for the current issue with a rockabilly girl in a car on the cover. :) I also have the midfold poster and some more photos. I wanted them to be in black and white but they wanted colour... but the colours are not quite ok in the print... they have a strange green colour... :/ Oh well. Shit happens.

EDIT I forgot to mention... GO LISTEN TO MORLOCKS NOW if you like heavy electronic music. They kick ass!! (Samples on the website)

Blood in june

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 00:23:00 GMT

Murder bimbo? ahahaha...

Having fun in my bathroom: Morgaine
Photos and very quick edits by me.

There are always people who wonder about the blood so here it goes. No it is not ketchup or fake blood. The blood is real cows blood (it's really no worse than eating hamburgers!). This mess cost only two dollars and we bought it at my local supermarket. Fancy...

New pic

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 02:42:41 GMT

I really like this one. Raven dark... yet fashionlike.
I still haven't calibrated my screen but I hope it looks ok on your screens. :)

(Model: Aurora again)

Edit 10/6: Changed the pic.

Umm...

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 18:50:03 GMT

I don't update this journal very often. It is mainly because I'm so lazy at commenting on my friends journals so I feel bad about writing more. I don't expect you to comment but I might start writing more journals from now on (mostly picposts) so you at least know I'm alive and stuff. Again, I'm very sorry I don't comment on your journal posts. I have not forgotten about you. I guess I'm just lazy. But I you.

And so here comes a pic from my latest session with Aurora (June 4th)... quite unedited, just some curves on the colours.

What else...
I met Visualclash in Stockholm for an interview about Nocturnal Models Agency (it's for a -so far- secret project of his!) and he and his lovely girlfriend will visit me in Örebro soon. Can't remember if it's this week, I have to text him.
The day before I took kumimonster to the beautiful Hagaparken (with strange circus tents from the 18th century) for a little photo shoot, you can see a portrait pic in her LJ. Or here.
This weekend I'm booked for a session with Morgaine.

Alyz and Morgana, I have some financial problems right now but I WILL visit you both when I have sorted this out. =) (Somebody get me a job...)

Latest...

Tue, 28 Mar 2006 13:30:12 GMT

I updated my website some time ago with some new pics and slightly change in layout. (And new guestbook too! *hint hint*) However, I'm not so fond of my website, it presents mostly old pics and my skills and style develops as with any other artist so I feel most of my work doesn't represent Me anymore. But I'll keep them on the site until I have all new material. I want to do more fantasy fashion shoots. You know, like the ad campaign of Absolut Vodka some years ago, do you remember? They had Lucia, Näcken and other mythological/historical beings placed in nature environment and dressed in couture or something and they represented Sweden. And, since being wasted on alcohol is very Swedish (sorry but it is :) ) it was a brilliant move from the advertisers. OK, here's a sample: Lucia - imagine that style with even more fantasy yet the same fashion lighting! Woah, that's the style I want to evolve.
I need to buy a lot of new equipment to be able to take such shots but I don't have the money... I'll nag some more on my friend and photographer Per (the guy with the duck in prev. post) and when all snow is gone I hope we can go out in nature together and take some fab shots (he has great equipment). :D
Damn, I wish I could sew and do amazing hair creations, then my photos would be more interesting. :(

Aaaanyways, here's what you'll get when you don't have any nice couture or a stylist at the set...

Aurora, from the same photo session as my earlier post

And one on Lisa Luck from the day after (just work for a tattoo mag.)

Both models can be found on Nocturnal Models Agency.

Anyone wanna help me design and sew cool clothes? :)

Studio again

Sun, 19 Mar 2006 11:37:49 GMT

Shoot yesterday! The lovely Aurora was the target this time. My friend and photographer Per dropped by and I just wanna post this pic of them... I laugh everytime I see it!

And I also took a surreal photo of Per with a duck. I love models with a sense of humour.

(Photo edited by the model)

Just thought I would share a good laugh!

Oh, and I just edited a more serious photo of Aurora... couldn't decide which one I like the best though... Feedback appreciated - which one to keep?

---edited entry: relinked all images to my own server and should now work! Grr!---

Test shoot from the new studio

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 23:00:37 GMT

I the new studio!
Did a quick test shoot tonight. Will talk to the manager tomorrow about getting a key of my own. The studio is like 5 minutes from my apartment so I can be there all night if I want to! :D Will rent it monthly.

Here's a quickie from the shoot. I will probably not use it anywhere 'cause the model don't like the b/w tattoo of the muscular cat... maybe I'll just retouch it over and put another tat on her arm, haha! But I think I got some good shots from other angles as well so hopefully I will not need it.
The photo is not original at all but what I have seen in the tattoo mags they don't seem to want anything else than a girl in a pose like this.

New studio and in search for tattooed babes

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 01:52:43 GMT

(From a photo session last summer.)

Just want to write to say that I'm alive and I try to keep up with your journals and even if I don't comment I try to keep up with what's new in the lives of those of you I consider to be a bit more than just friends on LJ. My mind has been pretty fucked up lately, actually it's been so for the last months. I can't get anything done, I've got no inspiration to get up in the morning at all. Have an appointment with a welfare officer in March, I hope this will help. I really do want to be full of energy but somehow I've lost it all.

Tomorrow I will go check out a photo studio that I am going to rent and I'm finally excited about something!! I will bring along my model friend Lisa so I can test the studio and hopefully get some nice pics too.
I've got some nice feedback from some tattoo magazines (Skin&Ink, Skin Shots/Skin Deep, Nordic Tattoo Life and Scandinavian Tattoo Magazine) who want to use my pics for covers and spreads which I'm very happy for, now I just need those fresh photos of heavily tattooed babes... I have mayalofgren and Lisa Luck booked and last weekend I met a couple of beautiful gals in a bar in Stockholm and gave them my card so I hope they can come to my -new- studio soon!
If anyone (female) reads this and have lots and lots of nice looking tattoos, feel free to contact me for a session with the chance to get published in any of the magazines above. You should be comfortable with some tasteful nudity and enjoy being in front of the camera.

Last... to all of you who ask if you may add me on LJ: NO PROBLEM! Add away! (This is written on my LJ info page as well.)

Selfportraits

Fri, 30 Dec 2005 02:27:09 GMT

Read with low voice á la Sin city/film noir
Yesterday. Took my new camera out for a spin. 4 am, no model in sight. Well, someone had to do the dirty job, so I guessed I was the only one around since the cats wouldn't work for free. Poured out some of that blood that just wouldn't be kept in the tiny freezer. Stepped into the tub.
Coudn't hide it for long; I am a slob. A dirty, nasty punk with mental issues.
Enjoy.

Travel

Tue, 29 Nov 2005 14:18:34 GMT

I love to travel and taste life but I feel I have been nowhere. And most of the countries I've travelled to have been when I was a kid so I haven't explored the places like I've wanted to. For example, I go to Las Vegas and I'm sick. All I ever did in Nevada was to throw up in public restrooms. I go to Tenerife with my grand parents (hey, they paid my trip). They didn't let me out of their sight for a second so I had to do the boring tourist stuff. Etc...
A friend of mine just got married (congratulations!) and they went on their honeymoon to Marakesh. I am so not envious. *tries to lie but it doesn't work*
Thanks to RyanAir I've been able to visit both Paris and London this year with hardly no money at all in my pocket. If I had a roomie that could take care of my cats while I was away I would probably not be in Sweden much at all since I'm unemployed and have too much sparetime. :P I desperate need a roomie or something. And a job.

create your own visited countries map

Whoever invites me to their country to stay with them for a couple of days I do the same in Sweden! :) (you need to accept my cats though...I have four of them)

Bricks and stairs

Sun, 27 Nov 2005 01:08:09 GMT

Sorry, another post from me. If I don't post here for months then I post everything at once. Haha!

I just want to show this amazing building... here's a small part of one of the walls:

And it is even taller than the picture shows! But, they are about to tear it down (if they haven't already). :(
This is what I hate about Sweden, there aren't many places like this 'cause they demolish all beautiful places that is rough like this to keep everything "clean" and boring. :(
I don't see the harm in letting an old factory just be... it's placed in a forest anyway so noone can see it unless they go look for it.

I have a photo idea now that I really really want to do but I need an amusement park by night with an old merry-go-round of worn out horses. Anyone? (yeah right... *sighs*)
But it would be so beautiful...

Btw, the woman in the photo is Adalmina of Nocturnal Models Agency in case anyone wonders

Calendar!!

Sat, 26 Nov 2005 20:55:28 GMT

Honestly - your wall at home really need this beautiful calendar!!

...pretty please buy it?

6:30 AM ...again

Sat, 26 Nov 2005 05:34:58 GMT

Hey! What do you know! Here's another pic, coming fresh from my Photoshop!

Model is Maria CaVenus (singer of Morlocks etc, also backup singer on tour with Therion)
(Original shot was taken in May or June this year for a solo career demo. This pic was never used.)

From the Rubberball weekend

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 18:58:01 GMT

We're on a roll here... I'll soon be heading back to my little non digital cave but before I leave I post a pic of __tifa__ and our friend Thomas, taken in a public restroom at a London hotel. Some hour later you could find them @ Club Rub (the Skin Two Rubberball weekend).

The original pic didn't lean at all but I thought I'd make it more interesting this way. But I had to crop off her feet then. :/ What are your opinion on this leaning and cropping?

Model Tifa can be booked at my agency http://nocturnalmodels.com

Wicked

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 15:00:52 GMT

New edit from a session in July (I think?).
Haha my mind is so twisted (or at least she is in this pic). :P

Model and darling friend: alyz_tale (Fr) http://www.visualyz.com
Welcome to LJ, Alyz! :D

Sun, 16 Oct 2005 03:51:56 GMT

I promised I would show my extensions and here they are... in a hairdo by Tifa (we're on our way to the Skin2 Cocktailparty).

And here I am with my friends Liv (left) and Tifa (right) fooling around in London. (Photo by Liv's bf Per Lindström.)
I need to sell my corset, it looks terrible on me!

Woah! I'm alive!

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 03:13:54 GMT

I noticed I never update my journal on LJ. Sorry for not replying to emails and comments too. I'm a busy bee. But most of all I'm lazy and a bad friend. Sorry.

I have nothing in particular to say now but I'm tired of seeing the old postings so woah, here's a new!

I thought I should post a couple of images as well. Photos are always fun, aye?
Here's a cover I shot for The Pricks, some local punk rockers. They requested the theme and the high contrast on her skin so don't blame me. I don't like punk music anyway.

Here's another pic I really like. Awesome model. She's a blackmetal slash opera singer and this photo (find more on my website) was shot for her demo recording and promo piccies. When she's not doing her solo project she tours with Therion, Cradle of Filth and Morlocks.
Of course the blood is real. I'm no teen goth slashing wrists with a ketchup bottle. This is pure evil blood. (We bought it from the meat dish in our local super market.) :P

Last weekend I walked the streets of London. Fun fun fun. Except for when me and my model friend Tifa got mislead to the bus stop by ? AM (had been to the Rubber Ball) and had to walk 30 mins in the wrong direction in a dusky area with very little clothing before we decided to hit a cab anyway. Expensive, but we we're so tired we could kill each other. I wanted to kill the British girl that told me the wrong way to the bus stop.
Friday was the best. I got really drunk at Torture Garden. I did embarrasing stuff. Yes, I had much fun.
Earlier that day I shopped away my rent at Camden. Oh I could move to Camden, shopping paradise on earth... I also took some quick photos of models Claw and Lady Morgana threnodynvelvet. Haven't seen them yet, need to develop the films. And then I need to find a scanner. Hmm.
I also ran into rhaemare at Camden. Very nice fella.
My photographer friend Per Lindström took some preparty pics (digital) before TG. We (four friends from Sweden) did some cool posing in our fetish outfits at a skateboard hangout outside our youth hostel before we went to TG. He's a very good photographer. And the girls were drunk. Very curious on these photos...
Sunday we met up with elvafetishmodel and some other folks for a photo session outside of Club Rub. I can post a tiny picture:
I won't post it any bigger 'cause it will probably be used for the paper Expressen Hallå soon (the article is about 'Nocturnal Models Agency' models going to Rubber Ball). I am in the back of the crowd. By the way, I have black hair with blue extensions now. (Before I had dark red for many years.)

...And then we did some more shootings and stuff... but nevermind. I'm in Sweden now. Catched a bad cold. I better hit the sack. Cat's are calling me. Enough rambling.
Cheers!
