Escape Magazine – Fashion – Everyday Dreamer

Sash — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:45:25 +0000

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 :)

Photoshoot – Charlotte Thorstvedt

Sash — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:31:49 +0000

Charlotte Thorstvedt is known for her run as VJ on MTV, hosting amongst other things the Europe-wide Euro Top 20. She then went on to being the host on the first season of the Norwegian version of X-factor. She is also a very popular DJ, playing gigs all over Oslo, and other main cities in Norway.

Having gone to the same school as Charlotte, it became a fairly obvious choice to ask her when given the assignment at school to photograph a high-profile person. Am very happy she had the time and I will be posting some of the results here in time.

Charlotte also has a blog which is worth checking out, both to stay up to date with what she is up to, her music, and also for photographic inspiration:

To Rom og Kjøkken

Some pictures from the food photography course. I went to To Rom og Kjøkken and am fairly pleased with the results.

Better lighting for the food pictures would have been preferable, but you work with what you get.

Photoshop – Vodka advert

Sash — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:12:17 +0000

It’s been a while since I updated my blog, this can be explained mostly by school projects not having been the type of photography that inspires me as well as being busy with other things.

We had another course with Jan Christian Sørli this time on how to make photoshop composits.

We started off learning some basics, setting us up to do some simple mistakes so that we would learn not to do them again.

We finished off the course with having to make an alcohol commercial, since alcohol bottles tend to be better looking than soda and water bottles… and since Norway is very possibly allowing alcohol commercials again (due to EU regulations).

Here is the “final” result and a quick video showing how its built up.

I do plan on fixing some of the small mistakes that I didnt have time and pictures to do. Adding a more realistic “into the water” bit, getting rid of the splashes a bit/replacing them with some taken in more correct light, as well as getting som more waves in there.
