Nine models, two make-up artists, three intensive days in the facilities of Yellow Cock Studio has produced a lot of pictures. I have learned a lot, the models are guaranteed to have done weird things. This is a little collection of photos that were taken during the model testing for Modelbureauet Modelbooking. Sunday is my last day of testing here in Denmark before I go back to Norway to celebrate Christmas Holiday.

A few weeks ago I photographed these images of Norway’s hopes in the Miss Earth contest (2011), Marion Dyrvik Homlong. I actually had other plans in terms of style, but since we were a little late out of the makeup chair that evening we had lost most of the light. We ran a lap around to find alternative locations, improvisation might work sometimes, not this time. Most were shot at well over ISO 4000, hence the grainy images. I also photographed the handheld so it was the Nikon D700 is really on trial.

After work today I drove with my boss to Kristiansten Festning and met Liv-Miriam Nordtømme, the author of fysionett.blogg.no. Here we did a photo shoot and a recording of some video clips Liv-Miriam is going to use on her blog demonstrating simple and easy home exercises. Vegard Blakstad, my boss, and the photographer behind this image served as assistant during the shot handing me the lenses and made ​​sure that the light was perfectly reflected on the face of Liv-Miriam. Photos and film from the recording comes during the week.
As you can see in the image of Liv-Miriam and me, so I use my tripod shoulder rig in order to stabilize the images as much as possible. It’s better than to shoot only handheld. Canon 5D MkII, I borrowed from my tenant, Charlotte Støle, who is also a photographer.
