This summer, 2011, I had a little photo project with Hedvig Khristine Sundland Trend Models. We drove a good distance out of town towards Røros and looked for locations we could get some nice pictures. We stopped at Kvikne and made some shots in a field next to Kvikne Church, before we turned around and drove towards Trondheim. Here are three pictures from Berkåk and an abandoned store. I do not know why, but photographers tend to be attracted to the rustic, abandoned and dilapidated. Styling, hair and make-up in this photo shoot was done by Hedvig herself.

RunwayPassport:

RP: WHAT IS THE MOST EXCITING PART OF BEING A DESIGNER?
MLS: That I am a part of how society reacts to first impressions. Many people don’t think that designers have an important job, but if you think about it we’re the ones who decide what you’re wearing to a first date, how soccer-players uniforms should look like, if your outfit to the job interview helps you land the job etc. If there were no designers, there would be no clothes, no style, no fit, no trends, and no stores. Clothes are such a huge part of a person’s life, either if it is for pleasure, business or necessity.

Today RunwayPassport published a story on the designer Magnhild Sundland and the photos I shot for her in August. Head over to RunwayPassport and read the whole interview!

It is not only portraits I’m doing, my biggest passion is still the fashion photography and I also intend to continue. A few weeks ago I was shooting for fashion designer Magnhild Sundland.
Magnhild has studied three years in Miami, bachlor in fashion design. Currently she holds in Trondheim, Norway, but is looking for a job in the large organizations.
ThHe location for our photo shoot was Lerchendal GÃ¥rd, one of the older houses in Trondheim, built in 1770. Unfortunately, bears not the interior character of this building style as much as we had hoped for. The mood and emotion in the images is French inspired and model will appear as a bored, upper class woman. The model we used was Hedvig Kristine Sundland from Trend Models, Magnhilds cousin and a model I’ve photographed quite a few times lately. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Two photos from my “morning beauty“-shoot I did with Hedvig Kristine Sundland from Trend Models early one morning in the start of July 2011. We started at Kvikne driving towards Trondheim early morning. This particular photo is taken in the fields in Melhus.

Two more pictures from the road trip with Hedvig Kristine Sundland early July. These two pictures was photographed at a bus stop I had scouted a few weeks earlier driving home from the Foo Fighters concert with my two friends Martine Lein Skrove and Sascha Njaa, and my girlfriend. High ISO, large aparture and slow shutter speeds makes these two pictures a bit grainy and blurry.
