The Girl In The Yellow Dress

Annika

The Girl In The Yellow Dress

There are countless meets every summer for the people in the unique Swedish sub culture raggare. I usually visit the one in Haninge, and this year was no exception. Two hundred or so vintage cars and around six hundred people gathered at Vegabaren for a few hours of fun. I took two hundred photos during my stay. This is Annika Jonsson. She will look familiar to some of you as it is the third year in a row that I have snapped a portrait of her. She was hoping to win her third title in five years in the category Best Greaser Girl. I will show you more photos from this event in the coming days.

I think she has a good chance of winning the title Steffe, that dress is gorgeous, great portrait and so interesting to read about 'Raggare'!!

She's lovely. Look at that hair shining in the sun.

Nice portrait. I like her hair color and dress color too.

Very pretty in a 1950s-ish way, a bit Marilyn Monroe-ish... lovely!

Grease Yes!
She's an absolutely stunning girl! It's a pity that there are a lot of shadows on her face in the first pic... A reflection screen can do miracles here.
