MEREDITH ANDREWS PHOTOGRAPHY

The Cat Show pawed its way into town last Sunday and to say the least there was a wide variety of felines on display. As always my lens was drawn to the people. Everyone from the judges examining every detail of the kitties to the owners proudly displaying their prized pets in cages adorned with mini channelers and framed impressionist paintings. Meow!

Football is by far the most popular sport here in Sweden, so there is no shortage of fans for LdB FC of Malmo. This year’s team is tipped to win the Swedish league and possibly go on to UEFA glory. Earlier this year it was my honour to photograph the team on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria. We shot three different set ups with the girls; glamour, sporty and casual. From start to finish the girls were totally professional, trading in their football boots for stilettos with no cause for penalty.

Last November, hundreds of the world’s best chess players gathered in Dresden, Germany for the 38th Chess Olympiad. Players from 275 teams aged between 7 to 88 play for up to five hours a day. Often the spectators proved more fascinating than the competitors, standing for hours silently watching matches and following every detail of the “action”.

With summer just around the corner, thought I’d offer another look at the contrasting light of the Southern Swedish coast.

Last December EasyJet Airlines magazine hired me to shoot a travel feature in Stockholm. The feature ran in the March issue so my challenge was to avoid the multitude of Christmas decorations adorning the city two weeks before the holiday. Ho ho ho!
