In April I finally got to do a photo shoot with Sanne Ebbesen By from Trend Models, where she has been represented for a while. Luckily for us one of my favorite stylists was back in town and had time to do the styling for us. Since all three of us had roots from Orkdal we figured we should do the shoot there as well. Marthe booked Bårdshaug Herregård where I have done some shoots with Unni L and Maren Elise Aasen, both from Trend Models, earlier. After having studied at London College of Fashion for almost a year, Marthe had improved her style a bit and had picked out some cool outfits for us to work with.

Here are some old photos from an editorial fashion series I did at Bårdshaug three years ago.

Having a team around you on your photo shoot helps a lot. Having written only about older projects I wanted to show you something that I shot this year. It is a photo of Linda Fjølstad at Trend Models. It was shot at the same location I did my final exam at school, only a year or so later. Having done a lot of photo for the more common taste at Centerteam Reklamebyrå that spring I longed for doing something that not appealed to all. Helping me out on this shoot was Tina Larsen (fstyle.blogg.no). Having done a shoot an hour earlier with Zeleste Vejle, I picked up Marthe in Orkdal and drove off to Øysand where we arranged to meet with the model and hair and make-up artist. Knowing that there was a lot of drift wood and low tide in the area I chose that location for a reason. I hoped that this backdrop would give me a more of a deserted, post apocalyptic look and feel. All ready there Tina and Linda was almost done with the hair and make-up, I went to check out what angles and such was appropriate for the shoot. We had three or four different outfits to shoot, but having no strict plan nor any time schedule we mixed and made what fit the best and what we wanted the look to be. This is the most idealistic way for a photographer to work, great staff knowing their tasks, great weather and no stress.

Shooting these types of shots I tend to use my 35mm, in this shoot a f/2.0D, or a 70-200 f/2.8 telephoto lens, either to get closer to the model having some of the background in the frame to give the idea of the location with the wide angle or the telephoto lens to get those straight up and down shots focusing on the subject and just giving small hints on what is in the background.

The lilith Linda Fjølstad was doing an avant garde fashion shoot at Øysand in Melhus this August. Styling was done by Marthe Engdal and makeup was done by Tina Larsen (fstyle.blogg.no).

I’ve been working quite a lot lately and haven’t had the time to do post-processing on the last few jobs, nor published anything. But here are some shots from my most recent shoot with Linda Fjølstad from Trend Models at Øysand in Melhus a few weeks ago. Helping me out with styling was Marthe Engdal, who is currently in London studying at London College of Fashion, and Tina Larsen (fstyle.blogg.no) from Heads Up hårstudio doing hair and make-up.

Last five photos from the shoot I did with Hanne Lillery, the model, and Marthe Engdal, the stylist, in Orkdal earlier this summer. We didn’t have a fixed theme to the shoot other than it was to be a bit chic. I’ve been trying lately to do some photos with people from my home place and also shooting some series where I grew up, investigating if there is a market for my type of photo style. Have a great week!

Here are some photos from a shoot I did with Hanne Lillery this summer. With me on location doing styling, hair and make-up was Marthe Engdal. We started early in the morning with hair and makeup at Marthe’s place. Afterwards we drove around to different locations in Orkdal that we had spotted out earlier. There are a few more photos to this series that hasn’t yet been published. Enjoy!
