This is the season for youth portraits in Norway, as we are heading for “confirmation season”/konfirmasjonsesongen. 3 years ago, I took her sister’s photos, and now it was Erle who is up for confirmation. I decided to try a totally new location in Trondheim, at least new to me . We headed for the golf …
A few weeks ago I decided to spend 5 days of shooting. Something just for fun, other ideas were more planned. I made appointments with various models, and tried to fit in as much as possible in my schedule. First, I visited an industrial site (where I previous week made sure to get permission, which …
Several years ago I came across a photo that inspired me to create “the player”, a photo by the image-genious Dave Hill. My main problem was finding a chess board that matched the idea, and I was fortunate to find one in a fashion shop, Carma. They had no problem lending me this one for …
Here is a series from my shoot with Elisabeth Bolme last week. She is currently in training for a fitness competition, and in these she is 6 weeks away. We will follow up with another session just before the contest! All are composites, shot in my studio, and then worked into a more or less …
The idea developed after being inspired by a few internationally acknowledged dance photographers . I knew one ballet dancer, who was prepared to model for me, and found a white wedding dress which could work. The idea of the photo shoot was simply to get her to move around, combining classic dance poses with the dress …
Last week I had the pleasure of shooting my first album cover. Rita is releasing her debut song “Carousel of Dreams” (Drømmens karusell) February 14th, on Valentine´s Day! This has been a dream for Rita since she was a young girl, and finally all the work, effort and desire she has put in results in …
Shutterblock has been more or less inactive during 2013…but this will hopefully change in 2014! This week, a client cancelled his appointment, allowing me to play for 30 minutes. The result was a couple of self-portraits. Although composited rather quickly, I found them presentable enough for my website. Of course, this is a mix …
This is a speedy version of my post production work of “Extravaganza”. The model, Helene, was styled by Vidar Graven and the shoot took place close to the railway station in Trondheim, Norway. As you can see, this is mostly done in camera, but a few adjustments, especially the RAW file work is essential in …
Recently, I teamed up with stylist Vidar Graven (currently living in Barcelona) and 3 models for a full day event in Trondheim. Vidar spent about 6 hours of styling, and had prepared 3 different outfits, to bring out the models’ charachter and style. Despite constant change in wheather, and windy conditions, we managed to bring …
During the last month I have had the pleasure of doing some confirmation photography. My aim is to make these a little informal, and create photos with a more lasting effect; a portrait telling the world who they are/were at the time rather than during the specific session. Hopefully the girls/boys themselves are proud to …
