Wow what a year I have had! Made it in Dubai!

Its hard to believe but 2014 is coming to a close. I have had the most amazing year to date in regards to how much my business have grown and all the fun photo shoots I have had the honor to work on.
I am having a  hard time to pick a particular moment because I have had so many totally awesome ones this year but if I would just mention a few that are topping my list I would say photographing Donald Trump for a magazine cover was a super fun photo shoot and to photograph the Majesty the Queen of Sweden was pretty cool for me as well being a fellow Swede :) It was also a total honor to be the chosen photographer to photograph some of the Al Maktoum children. When I got the phone call I totally thought I was on candid camera or something lol. Same thing when I drove up to the palace and the guard stopped me saying I must have gotten the wrong house and asking me do you know who lives here? -It is Sheikh Mohamed Al Maktoum! And my reply was yes then I'm at the right place thats where I am going. You should have seen the disbelief on his face ha ha. But a phone call later and the gates were opened for me. It was pretty awesome to say the least.
I also have had several nice article write ups about me in the press both here locally in the UAE and back home in Sweden, as well as several radio appearances in both Sweden and here in Dubai.
2014 was also the year I started photographing local Emirati weddings, previous years I have photographed European weddings where most of them being Scandinavian weddings either Norwegian or Swedish ones, but this year I also embarked on the Emirati ones and I am loving to be chosen to also capture them. I have photographed 11 local Emirati female weddings this year and I already have quite a few booked in for 2015 with my first one this Friday the 2nd of January in Abu Dhabi, so I am predicting the numbers will be at least tripled for next year easily.
I have had a very diverse and very fun year to say the least hoping for just an exciting and fullfilling 2015.
Do you have any new years resolutions?
I have one which is to learn how to film with my dslr. What is yours?
Happy New year to you all!!
Over and out for now.

Omega Dubai Desert Classic 2012

Practice day 2 for the European Tour Golfers at Emirates Golf Club.
I have a very busy week ahead of me, yesterday I met with a lovely Norwegian Wedding couple that I am photographing today. They are getting married here in Dubai at the Norwegian Seamen's Center. I will start with taking some photographs of the ceremony then we will all head to one of the beaches in Dubai for some beach shots, once you guys see the wedding photos you will know exactly where we were :-) Just like last week I have the great pleasure of Caroline to assist me during the photography shoot! Thank you so much for the support Caroline!
Well like I started saying I met with the wedding couple yesterday after that I headed over to Emirates Golf Club to snap some shots of the golfers in action on the golf course. For those of you that don't already know that I am Swedish might understand that once you guys see who I photographed yesterday..... :-)
Since I have your attention I might as well mention that I will be on the radio live tomorrow on Dubai Eye at 11.00 together with Suzanne Radford. We are broadcasting from the Golf Village at the Emirates Golf Club. So please tune in to 103.8 if you can. We will however not talk about golf but about ARTE Souk that takes place on Friday at Time Square. www.arte.ae
