Personal / Fashion :: Charlotte S

When I was living in Trondheim, I focused a lot on fashion photography, simply because I find it very fun and rewarding to do. I can play with all those technical tools to make pictures stand out, I can do all those things in photoshop - but most important - you can never be too creative.

Moving up to the north pole makes fashion/beauty photography harder, simply because there are not much clients here. The days are spent making money on commercial photography to pay the rent, so fashion is now more personal projects, just to maintain the skills - and naturally to have fun.

Charlotte S. was a girl that I spotted during those late hours in a moist weekend, so I approached her to see if she wanted to drop by the studio some day. Normally I don't do that, but she had a special look and I really wanted to shoot her.

So here are the pictures. They are very graphic this time, just something that I wanted to try out this time. I enjoy how they came out, and I hope you enjoy them too. Just to mention it;  there are no photoshop effects on these images, everything is done in front of the camera.

PS! Charlotte S. is now living just outside Oslo, if you are a serious photographer and want to use her as a model I can provide contact info.

Personal work, portrait of my dad

While I find commercial and fashion work most exciting, portrait photography is something that just feels very natural for me. It´s just that moment of no stress - just me, my camera and the model. That is a very comfortable place to be.

This portrait was just shot in a hurry. My dad popped by and his meter was running out, so I just grabbed my camera and lights and dived into it. And I just love the result. It's so calm but still full of expression. And the colors just flows so nicely.

So even if this is a private portrait, I just wanted to share it with you.
