So another monthly update.
I’m gonna drop into bed after writing this.
After a hectic month I feel like I’ve been awake for days.
Went from larvik to stavanger to larvik to trondheim
to larvik to germany to larvik to oslo to larvik
And now I’m going to moss to larvik to stavanger again
for some more work. Hehe ranting here

So the Germany pictures turned out nice.
Didn’t want to upload more than 3 pictures.
But there you have some of them.
That was a crazy trip. It started with the rule
stating we had to drink a minimum of 12 beers everyday.
Travling with a punk band definitely got the best of me.
They climbed up 7 story buildings drunk, stole ice-cream,
Threw up, and drank some more.

Had 3 great photoshoots in Stavanger.
Got some good pictures from that trip also.
Love the city. Which is why I’m going back there in a couple of days.
Got some work talk, and some shoots to shoot.

I’m also going to Kristiansand late this month,
If anyone would like to talk to me about some photoshoots,
feel free to contact me.

That’s it I guess.
I’m gonna leave the Guerrilla journal under this one,
so read on if you wanna know about Guerrilla photography

Guerilla photography

Over the last couple of months i've been having the discussion
about it with allot of people.
alot don't really understand the concept. Or just find it useless.

So hey, I thought I might try to explain it a bit better:

The whole thing is about not caring about what people say
you HAVE TO do in photography.

So what kinda rules do we have?.

You need proper photo lighting
You need a good digital SLR Cam
You need proper lenses made for the proper
product (canon lenses, for canon cams)

Well you get the idea.

In this day and age, I personally think you can FAKE a whole lot.
(Though only to a certain degree. Lets face it, nothing beats a
really expensive cam) here are some examples
of what you can do with some creativity and some post production.

Taken in a hall-way at a cinema with my home made ring light.
Yes that is Christmas-tree lighting,
though I would not recommend you using it due to dim lighting.
(You need something that packs a punch.. but oh well)



CAMERA? This one was taken with a disposable camera from Wal-mart.
I scanned it in, roughed it up in Photoshop, made it black and white,
and added some red. Grungy

I've had a lot of discussions with people about lenses.
Personly I'm a lens-freak, but I'm into trying to make it as special as I can
I believe you can use lenses from whatever you want,
but A LOT of photographers disagree. so I made this picture.

The lens is made out of my old broken video camera.
I forced the lens onto my camera.
(Note: macro lenses are by far the easiest to "make")



This one was taken at the local Washmachine joint,
wich had for some weird reason just one green corner,
with bulb lights everywhere


The downfall with regular lights is a couple:
flash works instantly, they fill the room with an intense light,
but just for a second (more or less) and then they disappear.
Regular light needs to be equally as intense/bright.
But they cannot just flash off and on.
This leaves you in a pretty hot and uncomfortable studio.

----------PICTURE---------------------------BEHIND THE SCENES-------

Right here in this homemade studio, I was using 4 work-lights
(you can buy those: "2 and 2" lights really cheap) and a white back-piece.
But be careful, without flash, you might have some difficulties
getting the shot sharp enough.

----------PICTURE---------------------------BEHIND THE SCENES-------

This works almost like a ring-light, though it doesn't show off that much.
And you have adjustable arms, so you can change the lighting.
Nice for close-ups and macro. Remember though, this is regular lights,
they don't give off nearly as much light as a flash, or work-light does.
So try lighted areas, or mix it up with the flash.
