In the end of 2015, the restaurant Strandvägen 1 invited the legendary Swedish music collective Blacknuss to perform every night for an entire month. It was documented by photographer and director Saga Berlin (Niceguzz), and together with Blacknuss conductor Martin Jonsson, we created a photo book that felt as high-end as the restaurant and as authentic and playful as the band.
