Title: Hello from Uppsala, Sweden
Post by: Merco_61 on December 23, 2015, 21:17:54
I am a part-time photographer based in Uppsala, Sweden.

I have been a shutterbug since my parents got me my first camera when I was 8 years old in 1977 but commercially I have mostly worked with product photography in a studio setting since the mid 90-s.

Today I use a D700 and a D300 with mostly primes except for wide angle where I use the 14-24.

I lurked on the Nikongear.com list from 2009 up to the turbulence, but the knowledge level of most of you was a bit too intimidating to take part in the discussions. Dallas' mail was enough to get me to register here.

Welcome back. Swedes are most welcome for sure.

We are not intimidating  ... except for the physical size of some selected members ... thus just ask whatever question takes your fancy or show us some  photos.

Welcome. Do not be shy. We all learn from our utterings and their echoes. Welcome!

Welcome. You probably know a lot more than I do and I haven't been kicked out yet ;)

Welcome! Please do let us see a couple of product images ;) It's not so often we see that here, and I have always an urge for further inspiration ;)

I will see what I have without exclusivity clauses. I can always do some typical shots that shows what I do, but without contracts getting in the way.

I can relate to that!
The clients are not always happy to share their property...

Welcome - you can always post a link to your website, post photos or articles here - or just your thoughts you might want to share.
We all talk a bit of rubbish from time to time  ;D

As the product customers are mostly word-of-mouth advertising, I have hardly anything up on my site. What I do have up are hobby shots I have been really proud of over the years. The old Swedish-only site is at: http://petersundstedt.com, the current is joomla-driven and available here: http://petersundstedt.com:8080/joomla/
