New Obsession

Well here's my newest project. I've been trying out skateboarding photography lately. I though it could be quite the challenge, since I'm not used to doing sports- or action photography and that it would be fun to try something different to what I'm used to. And it's turned out to be so much fun and I'm totally obsessed with it now. It's really hard to capture the shot at the right moment, but I really enjoy the fact that there's so much to learn and never one boring moment. At the same time, I'm trying to combine my photography-style with the skateboarding and see how that turns out.

Stillness

A few nature photographs from this weekend

Insanity

Went out to take pictures today of this creepy building, it's an old abandoned mental hospital, which lies outside of Oslo. Were so many interesting and great photo opportunities here. Such a strange place! It was closed many years ago, but there are still traces from the people who where patients there. But definitly not the place I would venture out to after dark.

Dedication

These pictures were part of a compositon task we had at school this week. Yet, another picture of me "sleeping"! These last weeks have been crazy, I have no time for anything, but to take pictures. We constantly have work to do, in all the different classes. So when I'm not at school, I'm out taking photos or testing out different lighting effects in the studio. And I also try to continue to take pictures on the side, for fun and for myself, where I have no need to complete a specific task. So sleeping and taking pictures are kind of the main ingredients in my life right now! But I'm really enjoying it and wouldn't have it anyother way for the moment.
As always I get tons of inspiration from looking at the amazing pictures that are posted on your sites! Gives me many ideas for future projects :)

Time off

Silhouettes

In the depth of winter

We had our first assignment at school, and here are my results. We had to portray winter and how it affects us. It took some time for me to find inspiration for this, since I've already taken so many winterpics the last months, but then I decided to stop over-thinking it and just go out and try to stick to my style of pictures and take it from there. The teacher also gave me positive feedback on the pictures in class, which reassures me that I made the right choice in following my passion for photography. Only now I'm going to push myself even more to continue to produce good pictures! This week I'm going to take pictures in the studio for the first time as well. I'm looking forward to trying out different types of lighting and to recreate the light in lots of inspiring pictures I've seen on your blogs out there!

Je rêve

I'm back, new photos and new camera! And finally I now have lots of time to do what I like best; take pictures! And I've started the photography school, which is really exciting. Already gotten two assignments for next week, so have to get down working this weekend! Also I get so much inspiration from reading your blogs and looking at the pictures you post! Glad that there's so much creative energy out there, that I can feed on :) So far 2010 seems very promising!
