Fresh Fuhr for Fashion!

My old pal came to say hello to us when we left Halla on our scoutting trip..

And just how close we were? Thanks to Mika for the pic..

Jekaterina and Ance hit the sb-studios last saturday… No Im sorry, week before that! Honestly Im so lost here, thank god for facebook. .

Around 400 images later we were all beaten, but I knew I walked out the sb studios with images that pushed the envelope. I could have photoshopped almost every single frame and the hardest part here was to knock some frames out. Other difficult choise was between black and white and color. C’Moon..!

Massive thanks to Eero again for lending use the space!

Its two am again. Do normal people stay up this late at sunday nights?

Having 800+ images waiting to be dealed with forces one to push the limits a bit. Not complaining though because I am having a blast! This is truely unique a time for me.

Small project with the stylist got a tubo boost! Its offically collaboration of two photogs and a video guy. We are shooting at the studios on the 5th of december and location shoots later in this year. Its just a amazing project to be a part of. Even the first test shots from Mikas camera blew me away! (Mine are still in the camera, cause my drives are full) He has the patience and the eye for details. Talking about good model directing! My way of “Do something” just doesn’t cut it..

Gear is rarely mentionted in the blog. That’s because its mostly irrelevant, but some requirements need to be met. For example having a lens wider than the classic 50mm. (Notice the D200 has a 1,5 crop factor going on.) A monitor that’s not yellow is also handy tool for post production. Guys laughed at me when I told them I still have only the old 17′ ViewSonic VE710s.. Slightly warm in tones, lacking the detail in the darkest and  in the brighest parts of the pic and impossible to “correct.” Thus I a bought used sigma 24-70 2.8 lens and I’m very close at ordering a new Samsung monitor with a decent PVA-panel. Its not IPS but it will do.  Waiting for the farther christmas is useless because he got shot..

Some pictures to with the edless babble. More pictures on my flickr account..

Ouh..what about farther christmas getting shot? Well,the paper industry is down and we have to export something..
