Last one of Hanna

Posted by jussi on January 7, 2012 at 2:56 pm.

Last frame of Hanna. We shot plenty of pictures (I’d imagine about 500) but  the 5 picture edit is more than enouhg to show the best of the shoot.

The biggest challenge is usually picking out the 5-8 best frames of the shoot. B/W or color is not so much an issue because the way I do b/w takes less than a minute.

Big thanks to everyone involved!

Camilla Pönkkä for awsome makeup and hair. Hanna for modeling and Jessica for assisting.

Start of the year and I have nothing to write about so we’ll go with just the pics.

Hanna in studio

Model: Hanna Kyyrö
Makeup and hair: Camilla Pönkkä
Assistant: Jessica Häyhä

This is firts in the series of hopefully many collaborations with makeup artist Camilla Pönkkä.  She called me up and asked if I wanted to shoot any projects with her? Hell yes! Just the thing I’ve been missing is someone to work with.

I’ve almost forgot how cool it is to do collaboration shoots with even a slighty bigger crew than just me and the model. One thing I miss about having my truly own studio space is music! Sure I can build the studio into any free space but having proper stereo system pumping out music to go with the shoot.. This time around it was silence or Jessica’s cellphone beeping something out. Not the same but will do for now..

Actually Hanna was not suppose to be our model at all but she came because we had a small gap in the shoot schedule so I told Jessica to bring someone to model for her while I try to teach her the basic “in studio camera work and lighting.”  The model we were suppose to shoot never showed up but Hanna was cool about it and stepped up for the whole shoot. (BTW I am a horrible teacher so Jessica has no hope of learning anything by my teaching but don’t tell her that. I need a assistant.)

Big thanks to all involved! Camilla for the hard! Jessica for putting up with my idiotic istructions and to Hanna for modeling!

Its the end of the year and I am heading to cottage to celebrate the new years! I ought to do a bigger blogpost looking back on the year 2011 but most likely it will never happen.

Move Christmas Show 2011

Posted by jussi on December 28, 2011 at 6:32 pm.

This was fourth Christmas show I shot for dancecomppany Move. Its always fun and painfully difficult at the same time.

I was not even suppose to shoot anything! I was there  just to help out Joonas and Jessica on their efforts but at home noticed I had 1400 frames in the camera.

I’ve always liked the vibe in the show. Its friendly, anxious and hopelessly nervous at the same time. I’ve said this before but the coolest part in the show is to see how much young dancers have developed their skills over the year.

Well anyways – here is the LINK TO THE GALLERY!

Roosa from the Archive

Old photos from the studio session with Roosa.

During the weekend I shot the dancestudio Move Christmas show just like pretty much every year. I was not suppose to shoot at all this time around. I went there to be a helping hand for Joonas when he lit the stage and to Jessica to help her out with the camera settings. Of course I had 1200 frames on the only working memory card I have right now! Figures.

Those pics will come later this week.

Have a great week everyone!
