Shooting Love Overflow music video with the incredibly hot Suzanne Carlsson

Funnily enough, something that I do enjoy as much as being a photographer and working behind the camera is to actually be in front of it. I often set up self-portrait concept shoots, most often making a fool of myself. Images of myself sell reasonably well, but most of all I enjoy the focus being on me once in a while.

Anyway, my gorgeous wife Suzanne didn't have to ask me twice to play her "love object" in her music video for Love Overflow that she did a while ago. The video was shoot over two days, both on location at Culzean Castle in Scotland and in my studio at the time (have since then moved from Scotland to Sweden).

Even though it was hard work and two very long days, it was thoroughly enjoyable, both to "act" and work with my beautiful wife. Both days started early, like 6-7 am and at the same time I had to be in the video from time to time, I also had to look after our daughter, two dogs and shoot stills for the Scottish press - it was pretty hectic!

The video turned out great, especially the scenes where I'm in it.... Note, my earring is long gone since then, took it out after being told one too many times that I did look like Eminem...never figured out if that is a compliment or an insult... Anyway, it was fun and brings back fun memories...
