This weekend I was covering Kos Bar & Lounge for Hipster.no. Here are the pictures from this weekend: Hipster at Kos

This weekend I was covering Kos Bar&Lounge and Vega Club in Trondheim for Hipster.no with my camera. A lot of people out having a great time this Saturday, as usual. Head over to Hipster.no’s homepage to see the pictures.
If you are looking for inspiration on what to wear next weekend going out, I believe Hipster.no is the place to start looking. Hundreds of pictures of both girls and boys dressed up for the weekend. It is just another manic Monday, but why not start early, as with Christmas presents.

For my two models, Maria Ishoel Frelsøy and Karoline Dilling Broks I’ve published four new pictures from the photo shoot we had on Tuesday for the assignment spectacle commercial at Norsk Fotofagskole. Spectacles I got from Brilleland and goes by the brand Moods of Norway and Lyle&Scott and are new of this season (W/S 2011).

The last picture in this post is another selection after getting comments on Maria’s hand that was a bit miss placed.

Evaluation went well, the teacher pointed out the fingers on the shoulder of one of the models and didn’t really see the point in shooting horizontally and ended up liking the one portrait of Karoline the most.

Next assignment

The next assignment in our photo marathon at school is photographing architecture, Hovedfagsbygget at NTNU Gløshaugen. This is an old building from the early 20th century in a gothic style. I’ve photographed this building several times before, but not mainly architecture. Now I’m going to pack my tripod and other photo gear and head off to NTNU.

I have two photos from yesterday that I like a lot. I like the stuck up expression of the two models on the tall one, but the hand on that photo isn’t helping much. The horizontal one gives the photo a dramaturgy with both models looking at “something”. I like their expression on this one too, but I did shoot it in horizontal of some reason.
In an hour I am having evaluation and I am thinking about delivering three photos, just the one with Karoline and the two with both girls. Hope Mr. Øhlander is happy with at least one of them.
The spectacles are new of this season (W/S 2011) and from Moods of Norway. Brilleland was so kind as to lend me four pairs of spectacles that we could shoot. I also had a pair of Lyle & Scott and yet another pair from Moods of Norway. The shirts are borrowed from Zara.

Lighting the scene

This picture is lit by four Elinchrom BX Ri 500. There are two flash heads with strip-light softbox on each sides and behind the models pointing at an 45 degree angel at them, one flash head at a tripod with a beauty dish and grid almost straight on the models and one octabank shooting straight into the ceiling on the left side and about a two meters away from the model. I have also two polystyrene boards with the black side facing the models and another one with white side up in front and facing up reflecting into the models eyes.
