Improbable sunshine

I met and photographed Jacob Stenfeldt for the first time back in 2020, when Anna and I did a series of test shoots with new faces from Sweden Models Agency. He was quite young and new to the game but struck us as incredibly talented. As I remember, he brought his mother with him, who spent the evening knitting on our couch.

Jacob in 2020, shot on Fuji 400H film with a Pentax 645n.

Five years later, Jacob is fully grown, attends university, and is quite the model professional. Together with Victor Norgren, we captured the photos below on a spring day when rain was forecasted, but the sun shone anyway on the Malmö coastline.
