The Christmas holidays are upon us… us being the students at Norsk Fotofagskole. After 3 intense weeks of hard work, it feels deserved. 3 intense, but incredibly fun, and inspiring weeks. Our teacher GT gave us a very open assignment, it was a group project with 8 members in each group and we were told to make a fashion magazine. We got to choose the name ourself, and we went for “Escape” and decided we wanted a fairly glossy magazine. The members of the group were: Ole Ekker, Madeleine Nilsson, Nina Mørk Johansen, Bente Isefjær, Erik Drabløs, Johannes Selvaag, Ingunn Grøntvedt and myself.

Only requirements were that our series included one of each of the following:

- Celebrity shoot (cover story)

- Winter series

- Mens fashion

- Party/eveningwear

- Haut Coutour

- Retro

the rest of the series we could chose ourselves.

I went for a studio shoot based on Paolo Roversi’s “A White Story”, model is Amanda S from Trend Models, hair and makeup by Trine Sundli:

The whole magazine can be viewed as a video here:

I also want to congratulate the whole group for winning the competition for best magazine! Well done guys :)
