Konfirmasjonssesong i Trondheim!!

Ja, sesongen er godt i gang og her er noen bilder fra siste konfirmantjobber. Jeg etterstreber å bruke min egen stil mest mulig innen genren, for å gi noe litt annerledes hvis kunden ønsker det.
Fortsatt en del ledig utover sommeren, så bare å ta kontakt for fleksible løsninger!!!

making of melancholia

A few people have asked me how I made this photo, and here is a rough and quick speed through of my processing.

windy city

Today, I had a visit from someone I have never before photographed, and originally, the plan was to get good studio shots and blend them with my HDR backgrounds. However, after a while I got impatient (which had nothing to do with the model, who did a great job). We got some good shots, and then it came to me that I wanted to move into the nature. I did not expect close to stormy conditions outside, but brought a studio light - and the plan was...nothing - play by air.
We walked five minutes from my house, and discovered a hidden gem, a cluster of trees. My light crashed into the ground a couple of times, but survived! And I think it was worth it, as an idea from a couple of movies directed by Lars von Trier came to mind: Melancholia and Antichrist. These films have some fascinating filming, and visual effects, and I wanted to try to create that same sentiment.
Here are some examples, and thanks to the patient model Kristine!
By the way, please watch those movies:-)

powerportraits - "nye" veier med portretter


Inspirert av eksempelvis Joel Grimes, har jeg forsøkt å tilnærme meg en stil på portretter som, om ikke annet tilfører ny kunnskap og en ny dimensjon i variasjoner jeg kan utvikle. Jeg innser at jeg har et stykke igjen, da dette er relativt krevende å lære seg ordentlig, men det er spennende og veldig lærerikt å utvikle nye teknikker innen fotografi og etterarbeidet. Learning by doing er herlig! Så får vi se hva det kan by på av resultater etterhvert.
Her er noen eksempler så langt...
