Yet another beautiful model called Elise I’ve shoot during the past weeks. This is more the private types of portraits I do. Using only existing lighting and only Elise’s apartment as a location I found the series turning out quite good. The model was relaxed and we had an informal atmosphere during the shoot that gave the natural feel of these portraits.
Using three types of lenses, the 35mm f/1.4G, 50mm f/1.4D and 70-200mm f/2.8 gave the shallow depth of field shooting at a wide aperture, but I think I need to change out the 50mm f/1.4D anytime soon. It tends to back focus a few millimeters and the sweet spot is way of. I don’t really know if it is because of my D800, the lens it self or if it has been dropped to many times during the five years I’ve owned it.

Having worked all night finishing the Orega-project I did a little photo shoot with fashion model Eva Marie Frisnes from Trend Models and her portfolio. This is just one portrait I just finished up before I go to bed for some hours of sleep. The portrait is shot with natural light from windows facing north west giving quite soft shadows and even lit face.

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!
