Last Sunday I had a photo shoot! The first one, I have organized since doing it for my book. I did not need to look for a photographer nor model since I knew exactly who I wanted: Professional Photographer Kim Müller and Dancer from the Norwegian National Ballet; Francesca Golfetto – see her bio and marvelous performance photos here: Operaen. Kim photographed my book with a magic touch, and Francesca captured my design dreams. Finding a date that suited both, and at the same time allowed me time to finish off two garments, was a lot harder. Sunday 29th of September it was, and my husband volunteered as a photo assistant with the hope of learning some tricks from Kim. We hoped the rain would stay away, and were ever so grateful to wake up to a cloudy but dry day. Seven garments were to be photographed and I had carefully planned what Francesca should wear with each one, including instructing her on make-up and hair. The photo location was Tjuvholmen at the end of Aker Brygge/Wharf in Oslo. We began next to the Astrup Fearnley Museum and ended up on the stairs outside of Bølgen & Moi where we had a well deserved delicious lunch halfway through the shoot. Above you see the stunning Francesca wearing the Regal Purple Jacket, currently being test knitted in my group on Ravelry. I had a brilliant day, thanks to Kim, Francesca and my husband! I cannot wait to see all of Kim’s photos and show you my latest designs!
How very exciting! A whole new aspect to your design process!
Yes, it was! Absolutely! And one I hope to do much more regularly! I am not sure I have ground under my feet, yet! Thank you, Tracy!
I can’t wait to see them too! It should be an art work of knitting design, modeling and photography.
Thank you so much, Luisa! I am delighted you think so!
Wonderful and thrilling! Looking forward . . .
Good words to describe it, Ruth! Thank you so much! Time is going way to slow for me at the moment!
How exciting!
Yes, it is! It is so difficult trying to be patient! Thank you, Jean!
