The Last Puzzle Piece

Background

For years I have been capturing life in different creative formats. I’ve studied photography, graphic design and new media. I have worked as an editor and retoucher. When I found archviz it was like the last piece of the puzzle fell into place. Here I can combine all my creative pursuits and create new realities while exploring and observing the world around me. 

Urban Architecture

Together with the visualization company Pixelflakes we were briefed on a real project they had worked on to get the feel of the projects we would face in this industry. We were provided with informational PDFs and Revit models of the buildings, the rest was up to us! I wanted my image to smell like a breath of fresh air. 

The Villa

In this project, we have worked from drawings by Alingsås huspaket. The assignment was to create attractive and accurate images based on the selected drawings and place it somewhere in Scandinavia. We were given some artistic freedom in the choice of light and materials to allow us to make unique images for our portfolios. During this project we were introduced to some new tools such as V-Ray, Rail Clone and Forest Pack.

The Renovation

The brief was to find a realestate ad in dire need of renovation and show the potential of the house. Both the material and props should relate to the location of the house and the chosen target demographics. Research was key. Analysing lighting and composition from realestate photographers. Researching similar types of houses and the habitat it is placed in.

To bring back personality to the house I chose to lift the roof and expose the beams which commonly can be seen in houses like these called “Skånelängor”. I chose to work with different types of wood and plaster. The demographics I chose to focus on were couples looking for a cosy modern haven in tune with nature. 

The Abstract Painting

The brief was to interpret a work of art. To analyze the colors, mood and style. Capture the vision within a moodboard that clearly depicts the concept. The moodboard would then guide the selection of props, colors and materials. The room would not focus on being functional, but instead be likend with a creative studio. The challange was to use as few props as possible to really hone in on the essentials.

I chose the artwork Water Lilies by Abbott Handerson Thayer. I was captured by the dramatic play of light and colors. The water lilies becomes almost glowing in white bright light. Such a plain forthwright painting, coming alive by the creative use of texture. 

The Chair

Chairs come in many shapes and materials, and those who have built one know that they can be more complicated than you think. Today, there are many great 3D models online, but you are still expected to build custom objects and furniture. I chose to create the KBH Geranium Chair made by Kobenhavns Mobelsnedkeri.

KBH Geranium Chair was custom made for the Danish 3-star Michelin restaurant Geranium, and now a part of the KBH Furniture Collection. The chair is made of blanchon oak and has an elegant cushion made of soft nubuck leather. Available in 6 different colours. Chairs and cushions are handmade in Denmark.
