Holga-action

Sat the whole afternoon yesterday scanning negatives at school. Had a few films lying around since summer. So a lot of different stuff, with one thing in common: it's all shot on my beloved (and at times hated) Holga.

G13

Sun and happy faces. Teargas and running eyes. Non violence and a new Danish all time record in arrests in a single day...

Some pix from Saturday. Took quite a few portraits of teargassed kids and grandmothers as well, which I will post when I get the time.

Teargassed again!

Today the people from Ungdomshuset marched again - to take a new house nearby my place. Was out shooting and was teargassed real bad. Miss it, John? Will post some pix when I've got time. Going to a party at Fatamorgana now, all dough I just wanna go to sleep. It's so tiering that gas...

Modelling

The last couple of days I have been in front of the camera as well, even though I don't really like it. The first thing I did was wearing a white brides dress laying on some washing machines... Strange, but if I can be to any help to my classmates... I will post a picture from that as soon as I get Mette to send it to me.

Friday Gudbjørg from school and I had a really good Girl's Night, and when you are two photo nerds together, and (re)discover the amazing light in the hallway in my apartment, we just had to shoot ourselves... (Luckily just with my Nikon ;-)










In addition comes this one, which is taken by Daniel Høyer at school, after I helped hold some light at a shoot at his place. He has a studio in his apartment... totally nice!

Sports Portraits

Wanted to do arranged portraits for the second assignment with Lars Bech, but my arrangement blew off, so I ended up doing semi-arranged ones on people doing different sports. I asked them to close their eyes and think about their goal, what they want to achieve. These are the best ones...

Emin (23) wants to become a professional Kick Boxer and win the World Championship and the European Championship.


Finn Bjørn (42) feels that shoothing with bow and arrow are a kind of meditation that helps him relax.


Jesper (26) wants to win as much as possible and get one professional match.


Andreas (16) wants to go to the World Championship in 2008.


Lasse (22) likes Kick Boxing because he has good friends there, and he wants to become a pro.


Lea (33) started to shoot because of her interest in Science Fiction and the book of S.M.Stirring "Dies the Fire". It's a way for her to get out of the door.

An important place

Last week we had a guest teacher from Finland, Nina Korhonen, at Fatamorgana. She gave us the assignment "A place that is important for me". Since I've only been in Copenhagen for a few weeks I tried to make something on the ocean. At the same time I got to try something completely different from what I usually do. Kind of fun, actually!

Queens of Convenience

Once again I have used Hanne as a model during a Lars Bech workshop. Feels strange, especially since she now works with him, but convenience is sometime something one have to lean on as a photographer... Anyway, this assignment was double: Monday we got three hours to go out and shoot "urban space", and when we got back, Lars gave us a follow-up-assignment shooting the same thing after dark – if possible, or making a portrait that matches, as I did. Some photoshop-work on this one of course...
Does anyone think it works?
