Blue Monday?

New floor

Is being built in the studio with a brand new alcove. Yeah!

Another busy week

is over.
This week I have finished the travel-ad I did last week with TBWA, I did a small shoot with DDB and Stena Line as well as a job for Andre Boller and today I did another shoot with Ernø and Meny. My biggest job of my career got booked this week as well, will be the photographer on 4 commercials to be shown on Tv. It's a very exciting project that I will be doing with Los & Co ad agency and Toxic will be directing and doing the post-production. Fortunately I only have a small shoot and some post-production to be done next week as I have to spend a lot of time planning and getting ready for this large 3-day shoot. Yay.

Some images from today's shoot as well as the left-overs I took home with me. Sweet.

Award Winning Photographer

Pretty tacky, I know.
This friday the one and only competition for the norwegian advertising industry were held. A great party with 800 participants and a whole lotta prices to be dealt out. And my work took home three prices, was nominated to one more and yes, I am very proud of that fact. Even more so since I was the photographer with the most prices. Hoho. Enough bragging. Sorry.

Meny

These are two of the four images I did for Meny with Ernø Oslo. Fullpage ads in VG and Dagbladet today. Next week I'll be doing four more pictures for the same client. Now I'm shooting a super-sexy young man, in full monty.

Holiday

Like Madonna I'm going on a holiday. In less than three weeks my girlfriend and I are leaving for Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. I'm really looking forward to eating, drinking, swimming, snorkling and just doing nothing for 7 days. Sweet.
Workwise I'm still working on the pictures I took for Flytoget. Later this week I'll be shooting for Tbwa.
Some other potential projects on the way as well.

This is the hotel we'll be staying at

IF Insurance

This is another job I did with IF and Kitchen quite some time ago.

Days of our lives

Another week is almost over, had two more shoots with Meny and Flytoget this week. Next week will be packed with postproduction and I'm having a shoot with TBWA as well. But first I'll enjoy a couple of days off with great food and superb friends.

Later

p.s. this is an ad I did with Virtual Garden a couple of weeks ago.

Leftovers

Always nice with some leftovers after a shoot ;-)

Food

One should always choose dinner according to colours.

Perfect saturday

Homemade breakfast, shopping, coffee, galleries, baltazar lunch,
miniconcert, more good food and a movie to finish off the day.

Buzz´

The campaign I did with Kitchen has created some fuzz these last weeks. Some people have unfortunately been a bit offended by the pictures, it's a shame that some people are born without a sense of humour and self-irony.



Had a quick, fun and windy shoot with Flytoget today, will shoot more for them next week. I'm having another shoot with Meny next week as well.

Workin'

Had a crazy day yesterday shooting Netcom with McCann for 13 hours. Still have lots of post-production on that assignment. Today I'll be shooting a campagin for Meny with Ernö. Wednesday is all packed with post-production before we finish the week shooting Flytoget with Kitchen thursday and friday. Pretty intense week.

These are some pictures from yesterday, including some of my new assistent Gabriel. A jolly good fella.

!

Had a nice weekend including a fantastic hike into the woods with my girlfriend. Felt like easter holiday with the perfect weather.



Yesterday I headed towards Elverum to shoot images with kids and some designer items. It was a funny day and hopefully my client will like the pictures I took as well. Supercute kids and it looked like they had a good time.
Heading towards a meeting now with a potential new job before it's off to smoothen the body at Elixia.


See ya!

Weekend

The weekend is approaching at the speed of lightning. Had two great meetings today, one of which involved a potential job with Ernø ad agency for the food chain Meny. I'll know more about this next week I guess.
I'm heading to Elverum first thing monday morning for a shoot with Popkorn Design. But first I'll enjoy a nice weekend that includes seeing The Wrestler at the cinema, some cross-country skiing and probably some alcohol.
Cheers.

Day off

I took the day off and headed into the woods instead of to the studio, the weather is perfect.
I'm totally enjoying myself heading towards Kikut. It's about 13 km each way. See ya.

Etc.

I got assigned to another job last week, I'll shoot the annual report for Flytoget (airport express train).
This week I'll do a lot of office work since I've been rather busy with shoots and postproduction, so I'm a bit behind on some other stuff. I'll also got two portfolio showings as well as some meetings with potential assistants.

Snowy

It's pretty beautiful with all the snow that has come the last couple of days.
Shot two pictures while walking to the studio today, it was way more beautiful than my images project.

Sunset

Somewhere between Trondheim and Oslo last night.

Fish & Milk

Aftenposten

My picture is both on the front cover and inside of Aftenposten. Cool.

Everyday Shooting

When I studied photography and when working as an assistent I didn't go one place without at least one camera with me. Some time after starting up on my own the camera was left behind more often than not, that is something I've been changing lately and that's what the 5d is perfect for. It's so easy to carry around with me. So now I'll shoot even more. These photos are examples of what I want do to more of, just taking pictures when I see something I like.

Have a nice weekend everybody.

Ruter

My latest work, a campaign done for Kitchen with Ruter as the client. It will be very visible at the underground, buses and trams. I'm very pleased with this job, love the work put in by Eirik and Thomas at Kitchen and beautiful illustrationwork by Chr. Bloom. Put in quite some hours to get the jaw the way I wanted. The jaw belongs to a man obviously and not the cute and innocent girl.

The Creator

I was in the audience of Skaperen(the creator) tonight, my girlfriends
brother had reached the semi-finals and the show aired live.
Unfortunately he didn't get to the finals but he put in a superb
effort, hopefully he'll succeed with his invention.

Finn.no

These are the pictures I did for Finn.no with Kitchen.
The pictures were to be quite simple portraits, with happy people looking into the camera.
We portrayed the "typical" Finn-users, the pictures will be printed and cut out to life-size cardboard figures for use within the Finn organization.
Nothing extraordinary about these, but pictures and jobs like this are a big part of working as a photographer.

First 5d-video

This is my first video with the 5d-camera, I didn't have that much material to work with so I kind of repeated myself but still.
Shot these clips up at the cabin this weekend, the quality is amazing although you can't see here because of the youtube-quality.

The House of Literature

I did this job almost half a year ago but has not published it until know because it had not been decided where the pictures were to be used. It has now been used as a coaster to put underneath your plate, and therefore I can also put it on the net.
It was made with DDB for The House of Literature.

Sjusjøen

Had a great weekend with 7 friends in a small and cozy cabin at Sjusjøen. Due to rather late nights the outdoor activities were a bit fewer than anticipated up front but we had great fun.
Back to work today, some phone calls, a couple of meetings is on the agenda. Will do some smaller jobs this week and eagerly await the finished campaign I did last week, excited to see the end result.
