Polaroids

The polaroids from a shoot in Richmond Park, for my amazing makeup artist. I simply adore polaroids and their dreamy feel.

Playing around in ps as always, these are some pictures that I shot the last time I was at home in my lovely freezing country. Brave Marie was posing in just a top, despite the minus degrees. Luckily it was one of the loveliest warmest days in quite some time, with an amazing sunlight. This on the other hand made it necessary to edit quite the number of happy skiers in the background, but it was worth it:) I like the "normal" pictures, but found them also quite interesting when I inverted them, almost made it look a bit desert like, and the sky is just beautiful.

Crappy scan

Before christmas I bought this really cheap, and really crappy scanner from Maplin, and now I have finally found time to actually try it, and as you can see, it really is terrible, but I actually kind of like it, it makes the colours funny and everything goes a bit extra blurry, and the best part is that is so quick! I scanned one entire film in half an hour, it is a bit weird though, you have to sit and push the film through yourself. But anyway, thought it was an ok buy until I have money to buy a proper one :) Here are just some pictures that I took in the forest behind my house back in Norway over christmas.

work work work!

so much to do so little time! I wish that the day had 24 hours extra please! that would have been nice, might have given me some time to actually enjoy my last months in London as well. All I want to do is take pictures, don't want to think about dissertation, and good reasons for my Final Major Project.

I have been working a little bit for a company called Susan Caplan Vintage, taking very simple pictures of jewelry, but still I learn a lot, and the jewelry is amazing!

Here is some of my current inspiration, which is lying on my desktop. Unfortunately I am so bad at writing down where I find them, so apologies for not referencing.

Just a tiny preview of a very quick shoot I did with my brave friend Ida! I had her running around the forest in as you all can see quite a lot of snow in heels! And not to mention minus 8 degrees :) I shot on film as well, and can't wait to develop them on friday! Ida is a designer graduated from Bournemouth, and you can check out her blog here: http://idavasaasen.blogg.no/

Love love love this necklace! This one is from the great frog in Carnaby street, but a Norwegian designer called Bjørg has made a very similar one, just a little bit darker. She also has a very lovely video on her front page. Check it out here: http://www.bjorgjewellery.com/2010/

Happy New Year!

So I have been home in Norway for christmas, but came back to London for new years and I had a really good night! My first time spending new years in London, and it is actually quite different from spending new years in Norway, but I had a really good time, although I didn't even see one firework! Here are just some pictures of the lovely sunset in Hamar, Norway where I come from, almost all of these pictures are taken from my living room window, because it was just too cold to go outside! But I love love love winter landscape, and all the beautiful colors!
