Just two quick pics from the White photoshoot… will post the finished results next week…
Models: Bjørn Christiansen and Kristin Folstad
Stylist: Tina Larsen (Kristins makeup etc) and Martine Lein Skrove (Had fun spraying Bjørns hair :P… and mine)
Today was our last day of fashion this time around. It was a good, but busy 3 weeks, learnt a LOT. GT (teacher) walked us through both lighting, but maybe more educational, his workflow in post-processing the images. A fair bit I already knew, but he helped fine-tune a few of my steps, especially the color-correction.
Sunday the 17th of January I had my last fashion shoot (giving me a lot of time to do the editing, allowing me not to stress). The shoot was set at Hotell Britannia in town, Trine Eide turned up punctual as always, ready for the task of model. Bjørn Christiansen brought along some extra camera and lighting gear and was great help as assistant, and so was Mathilde Nordstrand, having 2 extra pair of hands proved very helpful for the shots taken in the stairs as the stands wouldnt stand by themselves. Tina Larsen did a fantastic job as always on hair/makeup and styling. So a big thanks to all of you!
Below are some of the results from the shoot. I would have liked to have been able to use the brighter room next door, but due to the hotel staff having a birthday celebration that part was off-limits (maybe next time).

So… to translate
Earlier this week, Bjørn Christiansen I decided to go out on a little model-scouting mission. The idea was origianlly to take a trip into town to find some models for future photoshoots… we decided to bring our student IDs and cameras to seem a bit professional. Of course, we also need to bring pen and paper so that we could get their names and numbers… and a reflector, and a flash… well, 3 flashes… and a softbox, and an umbrella etc. etc… It ended up with us deciding to set up a small outdoor studio (though the word studio might be exaggerating a bit…)
We met at Torget at 12, and set up outside. We “borrowed” a Fotofagskole signs, and a handwritten one briefly explaining what we were doing. It all started off a bit slowly, and we got told by a slightly glamour-like security guard that we weren’t allowed on the pavement right outside the shopping center… but it was fine to be on the asphalt… So we moved, and actually got closer to the entrance, which helped a fair bit. That’s when the pace started picking up a bit, maybe a few too many mothers who thought their kid was the new Heidi Klum… We quickly realized after having been approached by a few too many mothers and teenage girls with too much makeup that the solution to the problem was to just apologize and tell them that we were looking for 18+ models.
By being a bit more proactive, we were able to convince 40ish people to let us get their snapshot, their name and number. Will most likely get in touch with them at a later date… at least a few of them. It was a fun 4 hours, but it was great being able to pack the gear back down, walk home, and sit down in a comfy chair.
You can see a photo of our setup at Bjørns blog.
Thanks to all the Fotofagskole students that popped by (even if it wasn’t neccessarily planned)
