Today I am heading out to Yellow Cock Studio to do three model testings for Modelbureauet Modelbooking. All tests are with male models and done in studio.

The picture above is from last time I did testing in Denmark, at Skyderiet and is of Malene Micha doing styling on the model Jennifer Hansen, from Modelbureauet Modelbooking.

In recent days I have photographed models from Modelbureauet Modelbooking. Tuesday I photographed Rasmus Michaelsen with clothes from Ei´kon. We used the store as a base and walked around downtown and found some locations that matched the clothes we used. Wednesday I shot four photo shoots, tree of them were polaroidshots and one larger testing with Jennifer Hansen in studio. Skyderiet which were the location of the studio shoot, was owned by Christina Lykke, a renowned photographer in Denmark. Today I have been in Aros, an art museum, to photograph Stephanie Bäckström with Maria Schläger Jensen as make-up artist and stylist.
Next week I am back doing school photography. I believe my boss is sending me on a road trip up north again, this time to Bodø, Narvik, Harstad, but I am not quite sure yet.

Here are some pictures and a video I shot of Stephanie for a half ago:

Behind the Scenes from the shoot with Marion Dyrvik Homlong, Miss Earth 2011

Yesterday I had the last shoot with Marion Dyrvik Homlong for her portfolio for Miss Earth 2011. The shoot was down town Trondheim right next to VÃ¥r Frues Kirke, the same location I did a shoot with Kristin Folstad a few weeks ago. My assistant on this recording was Karoline Holand Fosby, who also did the make-up and her hair.
Despite the sun, the cold autumn weather didn’t give us any warmth. The model was a bit frozen, the assistant was dreaming of a cup of freshly brewed coffee ground on exotic beans from Brazil and I struggled even with little sleep deprivation and cold fingers, but we still managed to accomplished a shooter without any major challenges. As you can see from the picture we keep on in open shade where I partly have the sun directly in the lens. The shutter was on average at 1/125s and aperture of f/4-5.6. ISO was set to 200 and we had plenty of natural light.

After work today I drove with my boss to Kristiansten Festning and met Liv-Miriam Nordtømme, the author of fysionett.blogg.no. Here we did a photo shoot and a recording of some video clips Liv-Miriam is going to use on her blog demonstrating simple and easy home exercises. Vegard Blakstad, my boss, and the photographer behind this image served as assistant during the shot handing me the lenses and made ​​sure that the light was perfectly reflected on the face of Liv-Miriam. Photos and film from the recording comes during the week.
As you can see in the image of Liv-Miriam and me, so I use my tripod shoulder rig in order to stabilize the images as much as possible. It’s better than to shoot only handheld. Canon 5D MkII, I borrowed from my tenant, Charlotte Støle, who is also a photographer.

This past two and a half months I’ve been filming quite a few videos with a Nikon D7000 I got to borrow from Nikon Norge. This piece is one of the last films I shot before I returned it back to Camera & Videoteknikk AS and is a behind the scenes-thing for Ane Aspen’s last shoot at Norsk Fotofagskole. The photos she shot of Hedvig Kristine Sundland fromTrend Models are going on display at Fokus, our exhibition today.
Makeup artist is Anniken Tiset, designer of the jacket is Marianne Høst, second assistant is Leiv Aspén from Buranhus.

You can see the photos Ane shot of Hedvig at our exhibition Fokus at Fotofagskolen this weekend. Opening is at 20:00 tonight.
