Taken on Sweden's equivalent of Hallows' Eve with Alexandra ( alexandrajade.zaplife.com ).

A personal favourite of mine; the metallic colours and the dark lighting captivates me in a strange way. An interesting note is that my old watermark can be seen in the bottom right corner before I changed into plain old text.

I usually don't take self portraits; they always make me look like a pile of something unpleasant. However, I have to say I am very satisfied with these shots and so decided I may as well post them on. It was a fairly simple set-up, not having a studio of my own, I simply pulled my grey bedsheet off the bed and hung it up as a background and used my desk lamp for lighting. The results were better than I expected.

A summary of select photos submitted on www.calvin-eriksson.deviantart.com since before joining Zaplife. Photos include a set from the Viking Festival held in the Summer of 2011 in Mariefred, Sweden; a collection of shots taken from the Sioux Indian Club's open house, again in the summer of 2011; and various photos taken in Eskilstuna, Stockholm and a few favourites from Parken Zoo.
