Since I am on the road, taking the winter photos for my second book, I am just going to show some of the photos from last week and hope you will enjoy them. Heavy snow made the landscape in to a wonderland and I decided to take all the photos outdoors. January often has amazing light and I wanted to do a series of photos using the hundreds of shades of white presented to us by our Father Winter of the North.
The bunad is from Fana in Norway. A silk bodies and a pearl embroidered bib sparkles in the snow.
The bunad of Fana has a living tradition. The very old fashioned headdress is worn by the married woman.
The bunad has a short wool jacket with fine silk ribbon edging. The white festive apron is decorated with crochet lace.
THANK YOU to all the patient models who stayed out in the snow and ice for hours patiently waiting for me to get things right. And, thank you, to the ladies helping with all the different costumes and props this week.
