When this month is over I will be able to breathe again. Promise. I have a lot to blog. A lot.
Monthly Archives: April 2010
I’m in Melbourne and in many ways I wonder why I ever left. It’s the city I first moved to in Australia; the place where I stopped believing in love and the place where I found it again. I’ve had some of my highest highs and my lowest lows here. Walking down the alleys with their sickly sweet smell of garbage and old buildings awakens something in me. I know I should write more about the things I’ve been through and I will, but now I just need to get through all the work I have to do.
I shot a beautiful wedding in Daylesford the other day and I have a lot of shots I want to share. I don’t know why this one stood out so much. I have other ones where Sharon looks at me and also where she looks at Duncan, but for some reason I really like this one.

Stunning, as always. I love that you work with grain instead of treating is like a fault. Beautiful!
Very nice! Can’t wait to see more :)
stunning light
Its an amazingly honest photo. Thats why i like it.
I like this one too. Beautiful.
And is that a vintage dress? She looks stunning in it, either way.
Just gorgeous.
Nice JP! Love your homage to Melbourne, and the clean b/w treatment of this image!
I like this one too. Your black and whites are heavenly. Man.
Jonas, drop by the VPPY awards if you have time. Karen would be there and would love to meet you. State library till 5pm today.
i adore this shot.
Yeah, I see what you are saying… beautiful shot for sure, but not exactly what you would expect. Funny how the work resembles the personality of the photographer; “not quite what you would expect”. Awesome work as always brotha!
Very different. Very good. I love how calm it is, yet nowhere near boring. Great work!
love his expression and her dress. beautiful.
An awesome photographer!! beautiful pics Peterson!
What a beautiful moment. I love this shot!
The pose in which they are standing is cool. The expressions of bride is too good. Nice moment.

Very nice! Such a cheeky smile!!
What a great shot! Her dress is adorable…
well jonas, this just looks awesome :)
Beautiful shot. I love the grain and of course her dress.
I like the smile it makes you wonder what she is thinking!
Fab shot. Absolutely love the grain and the detial in the dress.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. You take such beautiful portraits. I love the grain and it’s a very beautiful crop too.
Amazing colors. Amazing content. You are simply the best! (eller som man säger på ren svenska – du äger!) ;)
I looked at this photo for a very long time. I really love it.
Did you shoot this with the 85mm, Jonas?
I love the expression on her face, you got it at the perfect moment!
How serene and child-like. Her who look goes perfectly with the rope swing set-up. Her dress is lovely! Wonderful shot Jonas!
Love it. The look in her eye and the composition make the shot!
Lovely! Love the papery feeling from the grain!
Babe-a-licious.
Beautiful! Can not wait to see more pictures from their wedding!
This is beautiful.
Wonderful Jonas :D
CANNOT wait to see more!!! :) absolutely breathtaking ♥
This is such a cool shot! It says so much. I love that you can almost picture her as a little girl doing the same thing thinking about her wedding day… Awesome work Jonas.
Wow… this photo was really amazing :) You are such inspiration! :)
Beautiful! Can not wait to see more pictures from their wedding!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. You take such beautiful portraits. I love the grain and it’s a very beautiful crop too.

Rickard - Now that’s cool! Btw. I have two simple questions; 1. What program do you use to create your collages? 2. What program do you use to create your slide shows?
I would really appreciate if you let me know:)
Thanks,
Rickard
Jonas Peterson - 1. Photoshop. 2. ShowIt Web
Rickard - Thamks for the super fast reply.
Rickard - Sorry to bother you, but I have now idea how to do it in photoshop. I just tried but just realized I will have to cope a lot to do it. I have to make sure the distance between each photo is exactly the same everywhere and I have to calculate so that I make the correct size on the photos when I wanna have three in a row beneath a big one. There gotta be an easier way huh?:P Btw. is it called collage? Beacause I cannot find very much about it on google. Do you have an instant tip on where I can find information?
I appreciate it a lot.
Rickard
Teresa K - Phenominal image Jonas…I love it on so many levels.
Jonas Peterson - Nope, Richard, there’s no easy way. You have to decide what distance you want between your images and then create custom templates in PS.
Rickard - Ok, Jonas, then I know:) Thanks. I found out a little more on how to use the grid and such )is that how you do it?)So I think I can figure it out:) Damn me and my laziness:P
Finessence Photography - Love it Jonas!
Tobiah Tayo - The lines in this photograph are AMAZING. You inspire me.
Janine - Figments Perth - Wow. Awesome.

stuart-m.co.uk - wow cute couple, waiting for other photographs eagerly.
