Student redesigning AN with pictures from Engmark

A while ago a student from Bodø which is now studying Mediadesign at "Høgskolen i Gjøvik" contacted me. She was working on a project where she was to redesign a newspaper. She had chosen Avisa Nordland (AN) for her project and since there was a story about Engmark Fotografi AS recently, she wanted to redesign that as a part of her new design.

I just supplied pictures, everyting else is done by Majken Falch Jonassen. And what a job she did! The whole newspaper is so stylish and clean, and for me this edition is just a joy to the eye compared to the one that you find in the newsstand. Also I myself as a interview object is so much more pleased on how I was presented with her selection of pictures.

Avisa Nordland should really take a peak at this project and concider making some changes. And I must say I wish all the best for Majken; she did a great job and she will certainly land a job within design after she completes her studies.

By the way - that is just a matter of days from now! If you want to get in contact with Majken to hire her, you can reach her on her email majkenfj@gmail.com

Out of the dust; Ute.no

I bet you know the feeling; you get an idea in your head and you can't get it out before you act on it - no matter what. Basically there you got my head, only it's 24/7. From the day I was born I have always had the need to create, do something or act out. When I picked up my camera I finally had a tool that finally could make something good out of me being constantly restless.

The flipside is that I want to do everything very well also. So when I get an idea, I need to photograph it while the idea is my head, before the model moves away, the weather changes and what not. However what often happens is that before I can complete my work in photoshop a new idea pops up. And there you go, things start to stack up. Especially now after school when you need to stark making money to pay rent on the store/studio and so on, personal projects often get left behind a bit. 

But in between I get those free moments, and I try to get things out of the drawer and complete it. A couple of weeks ago I managed to complete a nude series which had been sitting for a while, and now I managed to complete a school project I did for a store in Trondheim back in 2010. This was part of my final project at the end of my first year, and I just started to get the hang on the basic things. 

There is a lot more to come,  especially private fashion/beauty projects from the last year. But when each image craves 5-10 hours in Photoshop, it's hard to find the time for it. 

Outside this there has been a lot of things going on lately. I am soon starting on a big task for institution which needs a lot of imagery, and I have been working on a big project for EBEN which have craved a lot of time. EBEN in a new fashion brand that makes handbags out of fishskin - extremely cool! 

Under is the images from Ute.no - and I also did a short video just for fun with my PL-1 at that time. Keep in mind this stuff is 3 years old, I have evolved .. a lot I like to think.
