This post is out of character. Most of you know me as a quiet, relatively shy person not eager to bang my chest or loudly brag about my work. So a post filled with images of myself may seem a bit odd.
Recently I have had a few requests for portraits and images of my work, which explains why I decided to have some professional photos taken of me, my studio, and most importantly my work process. Charlottesville photographer Sarah Cramer Shields was the perfect person for the job. Within minutes most of my self awareness and nervousness vanished and the session turned into fun chatting about life, work, dogs, and art. Sarah is a wonderful photographer, probably most known for her imaginative wedding shoots and portraits. Her documentary photo style makes all of her assignments shine. As evident here. Thank you Sarah!
Nice photos...do I see a humorous, fun person there?
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photographs. It's wonderful to see you in the midst of your work and your environment and to see your work in situ. Wonderful to see the continuity of your aesthetic and the distinctly Swedish influence. Wonderful to see you so obviously happy in your work. Thank you Lotta!! Gloria
ReplyDeleteLotta, these are great! It's always fun to see the artist in her space. And, I think it's so important for people to see that these things are made by a person, not in a big industrial setting.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are great! They really radiate your warmth.
ReplyDeleteI love, love the first two photos. So beautiful, Lotta.
