If I were I time of day I would be dusk.I'm an intuitive photographer with a love for Impressionism and Japanese woodblock prints. Impressionism is where I draw inspiration for painting with the camera, but also for nature photography when the intention is to share a moment through a detail; like the way the human eye only focuses at one thing at a time leaving the rest unfocused and soft. To me, being in nature is one of my greatest joys. To breathe fully and to experience the moment with all my senses. Photography is grounding, but also an experience beyond the tangible. A journey from mindfulness to flow.
Living in Västerås, Sweden, by Lake Mälaren stretching alll the way to Stockholm, I'm blessed with horizons from every point of the compass. I like to dwell in the light of the setting sun, staying until it's dark and the temperature drops - just for that one last picture. - Welcome to my site, I appreciate you coming here. Agneta M.

LINKING WORLDS:
|
Linking Worlds is a project without borders where people from all walks of life meet to make art and write, inspired by a theme, in the form of a poem. 2020 saw 37 participants from 36 countries working on art pieces, on words, on the theme Frozen in Time. As time is passing, the clearer it becomes - we are not alone, we are all one.

"The content in the photo series MOMENTS is colour and feelings and the pictures are taken in flow, contemplation and epiphany - me becoming One with Nature as I go to the woods and the water. It is about photography making you mindful by seeing the details using all your senses."
- AGNETA M. LINDH
MOMENTS:
|
Learning something new, adding to knowledge and skills, finding joy in talking about photography together and finding inspiration- that is what the Photography Specialisation MOOC with Michigan State University at Coursera means to me. Between 2016 and 2017 I finished the five courses and the last one was the Capstone. I set out to work with the colour wheel of Nature according to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The exhibition MOMENTS was a labour of love basking in light and shadows, colours, and the intention to convey my feelings in a picture. 2017 to 2020 I was myself a course mentor for the Capstone and now an alumni, I enjoy having a circle of friends where photography is in focus and we develop and hone our skills inspired by each other.

Project review by Professor Peter Glendinning, Michigan State University:
“The sequencing of this project is so clearly purposeful, leading the viewer on a journey from the most dramatic contrast and most recognizable visual element (the human head), to the edges of extreme softness where the thing that happened to be in front of the camera begins to cease to exist and its pure essence is revealed. Not that pure essence cannot be revealed in a high contrast silhouette, and it surely is in your first picture, but for most people I think the progression of poetic statements that you've put together will be seen culminating in that most visually experimental final image. Your sensitivity to content in the most ordinary of things, seen through interpretation of light and shadow, is clearly on display here, and appreciated. I hope you'll make more pictures in this "light" and find opportunities to create further series/sequences.”
