Rasmus Michelsen, model testing for Modelbureauet Modelbooking in Århus. Clothes and manbag are supplied by [ei`kon]. The color of the wall behind the model gives the full image a warm and nice touch in contrast to his blue eyes and jeans. The style is a bit lumberjack meets hipster. Enjoy the rest of the photos I’ve shoot of Rasmus as well.

Here are two pictures from the test shots I did of Rasmus Michelsen from Modelbureauet ModelBooking in Aarhus. The pictures are taken in the old town on a fairly busy street corner. The sun was going down and our lights were about to disappear, but I managed to get some pictures of the last outfit we had planned. Suppliers of clothes for this male fashion photo shoot was the clothing store [ei`con] situated right next to the cathedral in Århus. If you are in town, check out their store.

Third part of model testing with my Rasmus Michelsen Aarhus. Rasmus is represented by model agency Modelbureauet ModelBooking. Clothing and styling was done at [ei´kon], a fashion store for both men and women. Anonymous, black jeans, a white t-shirt, blazer, black, high boots and a murse is what gives this model a rocky touch.
What is a murse? Well, I just learned that that was the slang for male bags or purses. It is supposed to be a masculine way to carry around papers, laptops and other electronic devices, you’ll be the judge of that. A murse is also refereed to as a male nurse, fag bag or a man-bag.
The location of this shoot was over and under the bridge down town Århus, Åboulevarden and Skt. Clemens Bro. On the first picture where Rasmus is walking across the bridge, the light hit the surrounding building and helped out lighting the scene. The second and third picture is more film noir feel more than the classical commercial fashion. The second picture is shot on the walkway right beneath the first picture, and the third is shot in the staircase right next to Restaurant & Cocktail Bar Copenhagen. This part of the series should in theory give a little more sense of motion rather than the two previous sections.

Testing with Rasmus Michelsen from Modelbureauet Modelbooking, this is the second part of the series I did with him. Still in down town Århus doing male fashion with clothes from [ei'kon]. For these shots I mainly used a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lense for the open shots and a wide-angle 35mm f/2.0 for the ones by the wall.
All pictures are natural lit by a soft cloud cover that lay across Århus. This particular light gives the images a soft contrast that I like very much.

Rasmus Michelsen is represented by model agency Modelbureauet Model Booking, located in Århus . Rasmus has worked as a model for several years with a small short stay. We borrowed clothes from Ei’kon, a clothing store in Århus which we also used as a base, and worked on location in the area around the cathedral, for they who are known. We were lucky with the weather, light breeze with a heavy layer of clouds. The day before it was pouring down and windy.

On this particular shot I worked mainly with the 35mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/1.4, Nikon, throughout the entire photo shoot, sometimes with the help of a small reflector and then.
