First fine art wedding

Back in October in 2020, I photographed my friend’s wedding. I shot about 3000 digital images and 3 rolls of film. I delivered the 300 finished digital images about a week after the wedding and was supposed to develop the analog ones fast. But for some reason the long-developing times of Delta 3200 had me regretting choosing the filmstock. So it’s been a long time since I shot these rolls of film but finally managed to develop and scan these rolls. The rolls I shot are Kodak Portra 400 and Ilford delta 3200. From my results, I can safely say that I love them and would love to shoot more “fine art” weddings.

The photos were shot with a Mamiya 645 AFD III with an 80mm F2.8 lens.

The next ones were shot on the Fujifilm X-pro 3 with the 56mm F1.2, 35mm F1.4, and 23mm F1.4.

First photoassignment at Norsk Fotofagskole

Here we are, Following my dream!

Our first assignment at Norsk fotofagskole was to make a photo series as we learn that photos should be seen in a series. We could basically photograph whatever we wanted to show what we can do before we start learning and to see what to focus on.

For my assignment, I choose to document the local food suppliers around where I live. As a way to show the importance of these and as a way to get to know my neighbors. In total, I met with 6 different farmers. All doing different kinds of food production.

These are made like an editorial photo assignment. I have no idea what will become of this project, but for now here are the shots. Here are my 6 picture series for the assignment:

I also will add some of my other photos from my shoots here:

ABGT350 and Prague

Back in late September of 2019, my buddy Jørgen, Espen and I finally got the chance to go to ABGT for the first time. I had the time of my life at these concerts we went to that weekend. Google “ABGT350” if you want to know more. At one of the concerts, I brought my point and shoot camera Olympus MJU 1. I also took some pictures with my FujiFilm X-PRO1 as well.

I want to highlight some of the photos I took, I was especially pleased with these ones. I absolutely love the reflections in the first pictures and the documentary-style in the other two.

Here are rest of the photos shot on the Olympus Stylus MJU. The color film are Kodak Portra 400 and the black and white are HP5 Ilford 400.

I also shot some photos on my digital FujiFilm camera from walking around in the city:
