A year of Portraits

collage




The photo of the year is the portrait. And not just one, but 110. That's how many street portraits I shot for this blog last year. I met many interesting people. Among them Haninge's new Mayor. Two African nuns. A former Prime Minister. A clown. A World Champion Wrestler. A couple of musicians. Quite a few students. A dare devil. Two cute teenage girls. And many many more. You can see a few of them in the collage, and if you have a couple of minutes be sure to check out the slideshow with all 110.

Dette er hva jeg forbinder med deg, Steffe!
Du er min foto helt/hero når det gjelder portrett.
Du er suveren!
Jeg gleder meg allerede nå til 2012 portrettene!

Fantastic faces from Haninge . . . inspiring. I hope you are able to capture many more new faces in 2012.

Great Job Steffe!

You most certainly corned the blog-market in portraiture, Steffe. Excellent work, even though there was a high proportion of tatts in there, too.

All the best for 2012, my friend. May you have good health, good companionship, and many many laughs along the way.

Love those portraits, seems like there could be a bit of an addiction here..... just as well it can't be treated

Steffe - you are the master of portraits! I like your portrait collage for today's theme day! I did more portraits in 2011 than in 2010 and I think I may do even more portraits in 2012...
