I have been wanting to do this for such a long time. Forever, it feels like. It's been a dilemma for me over the years; how to photograph my jewelry. I love to do it and I have been striving to find a personal style for this but everytime I thought I had found THE way, after a few weeks I've always been forced to admit that I STILL hadn't yet found it. Because I have very colourful jewelry and all colours do not look good in front of white. Or black. And I wanted something that looked clean but still special. Oh, I've been searching and searching and one day I just got it.
I needed a large stone...
I needed a large stone...
So I went and bought one large piece of slate and went home and tried it out and YES YES YES it looked really promising!
I wanted natural light instead of using my lightbox and I made sure to test the light during different times of the day. BEAUTIFUL ALL THE TIME!
And the colours, they look so good and you can see the silver against it and oh, YEAH it's still fun to take the photos.
*okay, breathe now, Lotta*

Okay, I think we need a break from my rambling to have a look at these photos. So let's do that.
Okay, I'm back again.
The tricky thing when I started this whole Slate Photography thing was that I knew I needed to change EVERY SINGLE PHOTO in my shop for me to be completely satisfied so I started the Clearance Sale and then I went ahead to take photos of all my jewelry.
I am not finished by far, but I wanted to do this big re-vamp of the shop today so that's what I'm doing.
I've got myself a new fancy banner, I've changed a lot in the listing texts and the shop is stocked with about 35 pieces of jewelry and more is coming. A lot more.
Pop over to the shop and have a look.
And tell me, what do you think?

Hello hello!
Yes Yes Yes, I know I promised you this AGES AGO but now it's FINALLY time to show you the last of the pictures from my photoshoot with Hanna in the old Papyrus factory (You can see part one here).
Since it's actually Hannas birthday today I thought it would be the perfect time to unleash the haunting beauty that is my friend Hanna. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANNA!

We had a great time taking these photos and I am so happy with the result. Dark, sometimes colourful, dramatic and beautiful if I may say so myself.
Sadly my camera was "singing on it's last verse" (crudely translated from the swedish phrase "Att sjunga på sista versen" which is a too good saying not to use in english as well, so go ahead english speaking people- take it, and use it!) and now when I look through the photos I can really see how hard it was to handle the camera that day. It was the camera focus that eventually broke down completely a few weeks later and lot's of photos from this day that could have turned out AMAZING were too unsharp to use. I am glad I got these really nice photos though and I'm sure I will use Hanna as a model a lot more in the future!
I am planning a huge re-vamp of my shop in the days to come and you will see a few of these photos (and some more that didn't get blogged) in there. This is the biggest change I've ever done in my shop and I really look forward to showing you. Only a few days left now...
Pop over to my shop already though because the Clearance SALE will be over in two days time so hurry, HURRY!
I hope your weekend was all you wanted it to be, wether it being cozy sofa chill or wild and crazy nights out. I have been working most of the weekend, both at home and at my other work, but I had some time for wine and popcorn, an evening run and some reading. This evening will be spent infront of the computer because if I'm going to be showing you the fancy makeover of my shop in a few days I've got my work cut out for me.
So I hope you enjoyed seeing more from the spooky Papyrus factory. Do you have a favourite of the photos? I think mine might be the third from the bottom, I just love the smile in Hannas face and all the colours surrounding her.
Have a nice sunday evening and start of the new week, everybody.
Bye for now!

Autumn is here and that means it's high time to make room for new pieces of jewelry in the shop!
I want to really get a fresh start this season so I'm having a large clearance sale with VERY (Very Very) affordable prices!
I have lowered the price on over 40 listings, and some of them are more than $20 cheaper! I mean, YEAH, that's a shopping opportunity if I ever knew one!
The sale will last all through september (if there are things left by the end of the month) and then I will remove all of those pieces that weren't sold so you should definitely hop over to lottalosten.etsy.com and snatch your favourites RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
When buying from my shop you'll get a totally unique, completely handmade product and isn't that super cool?! Support small businesses and artists all over the world on etsy.com, it's a wonderful place on the internet. It's super easy to buy from etsy, just click on the button ADD TO CART and etsy will help you through the checkout.
Thank you for supporting handmade!

Hi hi friends, readers and all people of the internet!
Due to lack of wi/fi this post took longer to post than planned and as always I have trouble picking out a reasonable number of photos so I've decided to turn one post into two.
Here is the first batch of photos that I took of Hanna in the old Papyrus factory. The jewelry pieces are all from my latest collection. I focused on both jewelry, Hanna and the location on this photoshoot because all three parts was ecually important for me to capture.
I hope you like these photos and that you'll enjoy batch nr 2 as well. That post will probably show up during the weekend.
Without more talking, here is Hanna wearing my Cage Pendants in the abandoned factory Payrus in Mölndal, Sweden:

This factory really spoke to my dramatic sides. The next batch will include photos featuring an old escalator, graffiti too colourful for words and necklace pendants in beautiful symbiosis plus a gorgeous model lurking around the place as though she was a ghost.
Today is a hot day and I'm staying in the shadows as much as I can. David and I had a weekend in Copenhagen and I can't wait to show you all about that in a post soon.
Until then: Keep your sun hat on and wear as little clothes as you possibly can!
