Levitation photos

I am currently working on the 2012 course catalog for IGM. I´ve wanted to do these "levitation" photos for about a year now, plus I´ve wanted to use this location for a photoshoot for several years, so this is a really exciting project to work on! Here are a few examples:

Water nymph

Photos taken at a small pond in Drammen. Heidi is the model.

More shots from the photo shoot with Alex Falcao.
These are more of the closeups that he did.

Some more shots from the photo session with Alex Falcao. I thought the lamp shade was hilarious, and have toyed with the idea of using one of them as my Facebook profile pic.

This is the second time I modeled for Alex Falcao. He wanted details of the body so that you weren´t always sure which part of the body you were looking at. And he kept challenging me into new twisted poses. This was great because it is much like what I am looking for when I take nude photos. I also found out that I was more flexible than I thought ;)
The advantage of posing for a camera vs a "life drawing" class is that I only need to hold the pose for a few seconds :-D

movie poster challenge - thor - explained

I started with the original Thor poster. I then took a self portrait in a similar pose and tried to get the same shadows to save some time in Photoshop.
I had to remove the original text in the poster, then apply my portrait and mask out everything but my face. The eyes were made blue. I had to widen my face a little bit (I didn´t realize my face was that narrow). Finally I had to write in the text back in, using the same Times New Roman font.
The colors in my face and eyes were created with Adjustment Layers.

Just for fun...

1000BodiesProject

Project: 1000BodiesProject
Photographer: Kenneth Sortland Myklebust (technically me as it was a self portrait)
Model: Me

Kenneth Sortland Myklebust is wanting to get 1000 people to show up and take a self portrait of themselves wearing only a mask. Where you decide to put the mask is up to you. You walk into the studio by yourself and are handed the clicker. You only get one chance. Once you click, get dressed and get back out. A few minutes later Kenneth shows you the finished result.

Taken from my balcony this morning at 8:30 am.

photoshop: rubics cube II

Working further with the Rubics Cube. I might do a whole series of these for IGM´s catalog. Even though it´s not the most original idea, it was such fun to put in the face and logos. The most time consuming is creating the clipping path with the pen tool, but it is SO worth it!

In planning our (IGM) next catalog, I got the idea of using my Rubics Cube (which I happened to buy this summer visiting Legoland). It turned out to be really fun getting the different logos in the different places. The Vanishing Point filter was very helpful, as well as lots of masks (about 27 to be exact).

photo shoot tomorrow!

I am very excited. Suddenly I have 2 scheduled photo shoots lined up!
First one is tomorrow, which will be another pregnant shoot. Haven´t done a pregnant shoot since Iselin´s, and that must be 2 years ago.
Then in a week or so I will get to shoot a couple, which I know will be great.

I know I haven´t written as often as I had hoped in here, but I´ve been wanting to keep this a positive blog, and not just alot of complaining... I´ll just leave it at that.
Hopefully, I´ll be able to update with more photos soon.
In the meantime check out my Facebook page, where I just uploaded a few night-time shots.

new facebook photo page

I´ve made a new photo page on my Facebook site.
Not sure if this will work, but this should be a link.

photo: autumn wallpaper

Photo taken during my drive home from Imingfjell this Sunday.
I have posted a size that is 1680 x 1050 px and may be a nice wallpaper for your computer. If you would like a different size then let me know :-)

The Norseman Crew is having our yearly meeting to plan for next years´ event. This year we are at the Imingfjell Tourist Hotell. This was the view out of my window at 7:30 in the morning.

Photo for CD cover: digging through my archives

Searching through my earlier designs, I came across one of the CD covers that I designed for my Dad back in 2001. He asked me if I could burn a CD for him with "the best" of Yello, knowing I had a bunch of their music. I couldn´t just give him a CD in a sleeve (you know me better than that)... and I saw a perfect opportunity for me to design my own CD cover.
I had some photos of an antique car, taken in Houston, and took it from there.
I loved seeing these photos again... plus, looking through my CD rack, I noticed that I never even printed out a CD cover for myself.

photo as wallpaper

I received a request for one of my photos to be used to wallpaper a room. Very exciting! This was a shot from the 2008 Norseman, so it was fun just to see the photo again, and to edit it some more.
I don´t know when it will happen, or if it will... but I will take a picture of the room if it happens.
