BJØRN CHRISTIANSEN | Photographer

photo: Bjørn Christiansen, Saucepan with broccoli at Kvik - Lade

Early Tuesday morning Sascha Njaa and I took the buss to Lade to visit Kvik and photograph our saucepan in a design environment. The staff there were very helpful giving us full freedom to photograph wherever we wanted in their store and even provided us with a rather fancy saucepan and some kitchen-requisites.
Todays evaluation Jan Christian Sørlie, the teacher in this course, pointed out that I might have dropped the two containers behind the saucepan and erased the reflections of the kitchen-store. The choice of saucepan weren’t either an optimal solution, the reason were that it was curved and reflected almost everything behind the camera. Have I had a square saucepan I’d rather photograph that next time.

Thank you Kvik for letting us photograph in your store!

photo: Bjørn Christiansen, Saucepans in Studio

First part of the first assignment done. Today Sascha Njaa and I worked in studio for two and a half hours trying to get the right lighting for and composition for these three saucepans. This is the result we got after a bit tweaking with the background, some strip-light-softboxes and tethering-problems between my laptop and my Nikon D700. After the shoot I took the bus to Lade visiting both HTH and Kvik, kitchen designers, asking them if we could come tomorrow and have a photo shoot with one of their stoves. Tomorrow morning Sascha and I are visiting Kvik with our cameras and a bundle of asparaguses and broccoli.
