Ronja

Ronja Melin
This is Ronja. I spotted her in Handen a while back. She was in a hurry, on her way to the amusement park Gröna Lund in Stockholm to catch a concert with Icona Pop. I asked if I could take a few portraits as I really liked her look. No no no was her quick response, before explaining that she was always very uncomfortable in front of the camera. But I don't give up that easy, so after a couple of minutes talk we were shooting and the photos came out just fine. Ronja comes from Dalarna, a province in central Sweden. Today she lives in Handen with her boyfriend and two cats. She is very passionate about fashion, music and dance. Another passion is Change and Development and she has just finished her master's degree. I emailed Ronja ten of the photos and we decided to meet again for more photos, and we did that shoot a couple of days ago. It was great fun, we took a walk around a lake and stopped here and there for photos. I have informed Ronja that she will be my photographic muse for the Summer and she seems fine with that. And she is no longer uncomfortable in front of the camera.
