A few weekends ago I had a photo / video-shoot with Tonje Krogstad, a hairdresser working at H2 in Trondheim. As the previous shoot I had with Maren Elise Aasen (Trend Models), I shot this clip on a roof top. Soundtrack is Faitless’ Sunday 8pm. from ’98.
This video clip is shot with a Canon 5D MkII and 90mm Tilt/Shift, 85mm 1.4, and some other lenses. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Early May I was asked to make a promo-film for Charlotte Svee Hestnes who is competing to become Frøken Norge 2011. We had about two days to complete the project giving us little time for planning anything. Anyway, the film is shot with a Nikon D7000 that I got to borrow from Nikon Norge and my Nikon Nikkor 35mm f/2.0D. Hope you like this little piece. If you have a Norwegian cellphone number, please vote for Charlotte Svee Hestnes by sending an SMS with FN4 to 2105.
There is also a poll on facebook that you can vote for Charlotte or any other of the Frøken Norge-contestants: Poll on Facebook
Fingers crossed, and good luck Charlotte!
Here are some other photos I shot of Charlotte earlier this spring:

Last assignment
This is my last assignment at Norsk Fotofagskole. The assignment was shooting a fashion catalogue, 10 outfits, all colour, 24 pages including front and back. We were also supposed to make a little art piece using video presenting the clothes.
Today I delivered my final PDF to CopyCat in Trondheim, printing two copies of my magazine. Last night I was finished clipping and editing my little art piece and it came out quite okay.
Behind the Scenes
Storyboards, moodboards and a plan of attack were worked and evaluated in groups with our teacher Geir Terje Nergaard. Some time before Easter I made contact with Maria Nordstrøm Solberg from Modelbureauet Modelbooking, a model booking agency in Århus. She helped me find some models that needed some photos for their portfolio and could do the shoots for free. Stinne Tornøe Frederiksen, a singer in Leaving a Small Town and Stephanie Bäckström fit the catalogue profile I had planned.
Friday before Easter I left Trondheim heading towards Århus, Saturday Mimoza Rrusta, my stylist at the shoot, and I went out looking for clothes and shoes that matched the profile. Mainly looking at stores at Bruuns Galleri in Århus having a tight budget we stuck to Vero Moda, H&M, Bestseller, MbyM and BikBok. As usual Bianco Footwear (Århus) were as kind as to lend me two pair of shoes. Sunday we, Mimoza and I, took the bus to Moesgård Beach scouting the location planning where to shoot and film. Monday we went for a walk to Århus Botaniske Have, not far from where I stayed. The location were not as I had thought it would be, so after the shoot Tuesday, we visited Århus University which worked perfectly as a backdrop for my second shoot.
Tuesday Stinne showed up at around 9 o’clock in the morning ready for make-up and hair. We started shooting at the beach around one and were done around four. The second day we started hair and make-up around noon and were done shooting at the university around six pm. Friday I meet my second model Stephanie in the town centre of Århus, taking the bus to Bellevue Beach around two pm. Mimoza tagged along fixing hair and make-up. This day we concentrated mainly of shooting film for the art piece. That evening I had around 700 images to pick down to 30 for post processing.
Sunday afternoon I arrived back home in Trondheim starting post processing my photos, final touch and stitched together in a PDF were done last night before starting editing the art piece.
Nikon Norge – Nikon D7000
Before I left for Denmark I sent Nikon Norge an email asking them if I could borrow a DSLR with filming capability for testing and for my little art piece. They were as kind as to lend me a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon Nikkor 17-55 f/f2.8 through Camera & Videoteknikk AS. Since I have a Nikon D700 as a main camera and have shot with Nikon the last three years D7000 was fairly easy to operate. Just a little flick of a switch and start the live-view-mode and press the record button. Without a Hoodman Loupe I had some problems focusing, but mounting the camera to a tripod using it as a shoulder-rig I got a bit more stability event though it’s not perfect. I had also some problems with skin-tone in my film-clips, but I figured it was just my novice-experience that was the reason.
Tomorrow at 9 am. we are having the last evaluation before final exam. Four weeks, maybe 80 – 100 photos, 8 – 10 different styles, including fashion, architecture, commercial and portrait.

Last Monday in the lunch hour my model Maria Ishoel Frelsøy, assistant and make-up artist Line Sofie Steinfinsbø had a little video shoot at the rooftop of Trondheim Torg for my fashion project. The preview and the rest of the clip is filmed with Canon 5D Mark II and a 50mm f/1.4. Soundtrack is Soleplassland by Tre Små Kinesere.
Today I received a Nikon D7000 that I got to borrow from Camera & Videoteknikk AS for product testing, mainly the movie capabilities of this DSLR.

A little movie clip I made for my assignment at school. All the photos in this movie is photographed in my apartment. Hope my roommate don’t mind. Music is from the soundtrack of Silent Hill, a rather bizarre game with a creepy mood.

Her er noen nye bilder fra den redaksjonelle fashionserien min både på Bårdshaug Herregård og Sponhuset. Det er ikke sånn at disse bildene var for dårlige til serien, men passet kanskje ikke helt inn med de andre bildene var der. Igjen takk til Maren Elise Aasen og Unni Lund Olsen fra TrendModels, Tina Larsen (fstyle.blogg.no) og Line Sofie Steinfinsbø som la sminke.
Fototeknisk utførelse
De fleste bildene i serien min er skutt med Nikon D700 med en 50mm f/1.4 med lukkerhastigheter rundt 1/20sekund til 1/250, med ISO rundt 400-3200. Vinterstid og desember gjorde forholdene for innendørs opptak med bare naturlig og tilstedeværende lys ganske vanskelig. Det ble mye håndholdt fotografering som ga meg en god del uskarpe bilder, men dette var også i tillegg til korninga i filmen, med på å gi serien et mer ekte uttrykk fremfor at jeg skulle begynne å rigge blitser. Litt hjelp fikk jeg av både reflektorer og hvite flater.
Bak kulissene
Under opptaket av Irresistible, undertøysopptaket til Heidi Hallseth, dukkehjem-opptaket til Elisabeth Richardsen og manne-moteserien til Jarand Boge ble det filmet litt med en Canon 5D MkII. Snuttene ble satt sammen og redigert av Jarand og skulle brukes under presentasjonen av magasinet vårt den siste skoledagen. Selv synes jeg det er utrolig morsomt og lærerrikt å se bak-kulissene til opptak av fotografer jeg ser opp til, både på grunn av å se litt tips til hvordan man kan gjøre ting i forhold til lyssetting og det at det bare er interessant å se arbeidsflyten igjennom et opptak.

I god stil fortsetter jeg mine egne prosjekter i ved siden av prosjektene vi har på skolen. Dette er det andre opptaket med modellen Karina Kruksve. Denne gangen var det beautyportrett som stod på tapeten. Det er en sjanger jeg er veldig lite bevandret i, men jeg har fått med meg såpass at det er mye fokus på styling, hår og sminke. Tidligere på dagen i går gikk turen innom Panduro i Fjordgata for å se om de hadde noe jeg kunne pynte Karina med. Etter litt leting fant jeg to meter med sort dekorvev som kunne fungere. Dekorveven er sammenlimte fibre som lagde en luftig, men fin tekstur. Deretter gikk turen innom Make Up Store i Dronningensgate hvor jeg fikk tak i noen løsvipper og løsvippelim.
På skolen fikk jeg hjelp av Sascha Njaa til å rigge opp beautydishen min i et butterfly-lysoppsett. Dette oppsettet skal i teorien tegne en fin skygge under nesen og lyse opp ansiktet ganske greit. I tillegg til å kjøre litt standard oppsett satte jeg to sorte vegger inn mot modellen for å få litt mer kontrast i bildet. I tillegg til å skyte bare stillbilder har jeg også fått lånt Canon 5D Mark II av Jarand Boge for å skyte en liten bak-kulissene-vide for opptaket bare for å gi dere et lite inntrykk av hvordan jeg jobber.

Her er enda en liten video tatt med Nikon D700. Videoen er satt sammen av ca 715 JPEG-bilder med 7 bilder i sekundet. I stedenfor å sette inn bilde for bilde i en video kan man bruke en JPEG to AVI-konverter som gjør akkurat det samme som helt automagisk.
Her er noen lenker til noen slike programmer:
PhotoLapse freeware. Det er denne jeg har brukt på de to siste filmene.
JPG to AVI er også et freewareprogram som også gjør sin nytte.
