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 :)

More Fashion – Trine Eide

Still going full steam ahead with fashion at school.

For our first individual project we were to take 2 pictures on a white background and 2 on a grey background. One full figure and one half figure  for each.

I decided to attempt to contrast the look from the last shoot, by instead of going edgy, to go more sweet/dreamy/romantic/what-have-you. I wanted soft light and elegant or innocent poses. This would also end up giving the shoot a more catalogue feel than the last shoot.

For the white background, I had been somewhat (though just vaguely) inspired by the J’adore Dior advert with Charlize Theron where she was wearing a gold dress, her skin being golden and her hair a very warm golden color as well. I knew however that it would need to go with white background, rather than the blackish one in the adverts… so it wasn’t gonna be all that similar.

Strobist: One spot on the background, one large softbox pointed up in the ceiling and one large softbox pointed towards the wall behind me. This gives a very soft light.

For the next image, I used same lighting setup, but moved a few steps back so that the softbox pointed towards the wall behind me was just in front of the camera (well… and to the side), giving the washed out effect. (wanting to go for a bit of a more dreamy feel with that)

For these next two I wanted a summer feel.

Strobist: One large softbox just off to the right (likely 45/45)  and one fill bounced off somewhere… i forget…

Thanks to Trine for taking time out of her busy schedule for the shoot, and I think she did a fantastic job both on the modelling and on the styling.
