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 …

As you can see, this is mostly done in camera, but a few adjustments, especially the RAW file work is essential in …

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 …
I guess I have been a little busy lately, neglecting to congratulate Nina and Arild on their wedding day April 26th 2013! It was a chilly but very nice experience, working with this couple and I believe both them and I had great time. At least, they seemed to be comfortable to enjoy an hour …
