Back Into The Wild

Published on 5 May, 2013, by in Photo shoot, Snow.

Hi Folks,

Thanks for stopping by.

Finally I’m back on the blog again! It has been two great but hectic weeks with a trip to Norway and too much paper work..

As I don’t have much time before more duty calls I thought I could share some phone pics from our trip and let them speak for themselves ;)

I can’t belive after traveling to different ski resort/areas around the world that I would find the best place to ride is just next door..

Right time to make a move so enjoy the rest of the day and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow.
Enjoy,

When Dreams Collide

Hey Folks,

Sometimes I look back and wonder why I started with photography, why I put so much work and money into it…

I remember when I was a kid and looked in snowboard magazines.. Saw all these cool pictures of snowboarders jumping off cliffs and riding powder and I thought – Wow imagine if I could do that! I want to be there! I want to snowboard right now! But I also thought – What if I could create that feeling to other people… To inspier someone. And that has always been a dream of mine.

I like to share other people experiances or things that inspiers me on this blog and today I want to share a video that reminds me why I want to call myself an artist..

Ian Ruhter -  In the process of preparing the time machine, I had no idea this would become one of the most extraordinary journeys to date. It would propel me into the future where I meet Chase Jarvis, one of the greatest photographers of all time. It would then send me back in time to meet with my old friend, Peter Line(Forum Snowboards), the best snowboarder of this era.
All of a sudden I found myself in the present, making a picture of Ishmael Butler from the Diggable Planets. I had travelled the way you would in a dream, taking me backward into the future. A future where you paint with silver and light.

Narvik, Norway

Hey Folks,

How’s it going?

Finally back on the blog after a fun week of shooting a lot of ski & Snowboard.

First off, an 11hour day in Narvik, Norway and some urban(street) riding, with Daniel Harila and Jacob Stålnacke.

I really like this place because it offers so much and allows you to be creative in so many ways & levels..

We started to shoot at our first spot at 10am and left our last spot at 11pm.. Quite a day but I belive those are the days when bangers are being made ;)

I’ve said it many times before but I just love to work with people that keep pushing themselves to the max and do what ever it takes until they are happy with the final result! Stoked and inspired to be around those kind of people.

 

Right, got some photos to go through.. Have a good one and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow.
Enjoy,

Over The Bridge

Hi Folks,

Hope you’ve had a great weekend.

The last 24hours have been quite hectic as my plan for the day changed from a snowmobile mission to Helliskiing and now it changed again..!  Sometimes things just dosen’t go as planned at all.. ;)

 

Over The Bridge

Today I want to share a photo I took of Daniel Harila boosting over a bridge here at Björkliden, Sweden.

Love to watch this dude ride as he always pushes himself to the next level!

Studio Setup

So time to give you a little insight of the setup I used for the unstoppable shoot.

My key light was standing behind the subjekt(Rickard Tellström) to create the silhouette and lighting up the tunnel, I used an Octa 120cm softbox(to make the light softer) as fill light to lighten up Rickard.

A simple 2 flash setup that can create some really cool pics.. Remeber, play with the power of the lights and different diffusers to create your own unique feeling/look :)

Finally I edited in the train in photoshop.

Have a great day whatever you’re doing and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow.
