After yesterday’s program of “Skal vi danse” (Shall We Dance) on Norwegian TV2, I have some questions about posting a compilation thread of all the images I have photographed of on of the participants in the program, Rachel Nordtømme. I was even at work yesterday and didn’t get to watch the show, not that I would have if I had been at home, but the newspaper critics to read, she came up the next weekend. Good luck Rachel!

Here is a picture of Rachel Nordtømme I photographed early spring. The image is going to be used as a huge sponsor sticker on her car or something like that. The picture was taken on the track at Øya in Trondheim. The ambient light was still a little too bright for me to get to freezeher properly at the moment so you can see some movement by her feet, but it’s like that when you work under pressure and need to get a job done. The image isa also illuminated with three Nikon SB-900 Speedlight flash units and a Elinchrom Ranger. At the shoot I brought along Oscar Stoltenberg Johansen and Ingrid Marie Nymoen as assistant photographers helping me out setting the light properly.
Rachel was unfortunately injured during a competition this summer, but is now back on his feet ready to dance her way to fame in the TV-show “Skal vi Danse” running on Norwegian TV2, hopefully all autumn.
Today is my last day in Mo i Rana for this time. I’ve been here since Sunday night and finished the job for three o’clock before I turn my nose north to Bodø and an approximately four-hour drive over the mountain. I will be in Bodø just a day before I travel by plane back to Trondheim and home again to relax this weekend with lots of photo shoots with some other models than students to have a photo on the school’s certificate.

Third part of my photo-series with Rachel Nordtømme I did in the beginning of February. Makeup-artist and hair was done by Line Sofie Steinfinsbø.
Yesterday I was at Kos Bar&Lounge and Club Vega for Hipster.no. It was a bit stress full, but I got to meet quite a few interesting people that was having a nice evening. The pictures are being post-processed by a Hipster and are coming on-line Monday morning.
Traveling again
Tickets for both Oslo and Ã…rhus is now payed. I am going to stay in Oslo for three days photographing Truls Svendsen and hopefully Rachel Nordtømme for my assignments at Norsk Fotofagskole. I’ll be back next Wednesday with my hard drive packed with raw-material for post processing.

This is the second part of my fashion series I shot with Rachel Nordtømme last Sunday. Makeupartist is Line Sofie Steinfinsbø whom I used on quite a few photo shoots the past months. Shoes are borrowed from Bianco Footwear at Trondheim Torg, other styling is Rachels own wardrobe.

I couldn’t take my hands of the pictures today and had to run one through post production despite fever, head ace, soar throat and a running nose. I liked this portrait of Rachel Nordtømme very much because of her relaxed expression, the wind machine gave the hair a little breeze to lighten the mood and give the portrait more dynamic instead of just an anti-posed posture.
Makeup and hair is done by Line Sofie Steinfinsbø.
