Kick boxing lifestyle shoots

A friend of mine Ida, is a professional kick boxer and in 2 weeks she will be competing in SportAccord Combat Games 2010 Beijing. Ida asked me to take some lifestyle shots for her, which I off course did. The shoots are taken at Fiskars in Nydalen where Ida works with marketing.

On-the-job training

Yet another wedding photo assignment, this time for Christina and Bendik. With 3 speed lights and a crew of 3, this was fun assignment to do.

Photo assignment

My second wedding photography assignment this year, shooting pictures for Hanne and Lars Morten. Congratulations !
Clouded, and with rain on it´s way, we just managed to shoot before it started pouring down. Using two speed lights, I had two different set ups.

  • Both speed lights 45 degrees on, using reflectors.
  • One on 200 degrees for back light, and one at 0 degrees shooting through a white umbrella

The picture of Hanne and Lars Morten with Lars Morten best man Espen, and Hannes maid of honor Ingunn, is two speed lights 45 degrees on. I´m starting to like flash photography, just wish I had a third speed light..

Wallpaper

I bought a new apartment in February, which I spent quite a lot of time and money in remodeling. With complements from Polen and my friends I have gotten the apartment the way I wanted it. One of the things that I did this week was to put up wallpaper in my bedroom. Being in love with ocean, I thought it would be a good idea to give my bedroom a touch if ocean. I asked photographer and kiteboarder Bryan Elkus to use one of his pictures from Cape Hatteras, and with help from my colleague and friend Kaare Øystein Trædal, I got it the way I wanted. Thanks guys!



 

Red Bull Ragnarok

Red Bull hosted a kite event at Haugastøl Norway this weekend, and I was there. What an event. On Friday 110 kiters competed in a endurance kite race, and Saturday a snowboard / ski cable track freestyle competition.

The concept (Taken from www.redbullragnarok.no)
The participant event Red Bull Ragnarok will select up to 200 riders from all over the world to race for 3 hours; 6 rounds of approximately 30 minutes each, stretching from 10-20km. After each round, if not already given up voluntarily, a number of snow-kite heroes will be eliminated.

After a crazy race start Friday, I was doing well after 3 of 5 round holding 4th position. But patience ran out after the wind died for the second time, so I forfeited. Did not bring my camera that day ( picture coming soon) . On Saturday I took pictures of all the snowboarder doing crazy stuff at the cable track kickers and sliders.
