Sarah Sjöström is an amazing athlete and world class swimmer. She has won two World Championship gold medals. And nine European Championship gold medals. And countless silver and bronze medals in many championships over the last six years. And earlier this year she set a new world record on 50 meter butterfly with the time 24,43 seconds. She has also held the world record on the 100 meter butterfly. I met Sarah yesterday at my favorite cafe. After shooting a portrait I wanted to try a Brenizer method photo, and Sarah suggested we shoot that in front of her car to make her car sponsor happy, and obviously I messed that up shooting with the wrong lens! I did manage to stitch together a couple of photos so if you know them you can tell that she is sponsored by Lagerstedts Bil.

Te veo estupenda...un saludod esde Murcia...
Excellent portrait shots of her.
Tusan vad cool! En riktig världsstjärna framför kameralinsen. Jag tycker du tagit ett par fina porträtt där framförallt det översta är både nära, trevligt och personligt. Bra!
In addition to all those accomplishments, she has a great smile!
You meet some interesting people - and take some great portraits.
She is quite an impressive athlete! Not to mention an attractive young lady. She has a genuinely nice smile. Your two portraits are quite nice, whether you used the lens you wanted to use or whether you showed enough of her sponsor's car.
She does have a great smile!
A world class swimmer deserves a world class protrait ! Great shots.
I agree with Stuart: great portraits!
I think it turned out fantastic.
