Making business on your Photography
Them guys over at fstopper.com sure know their way around the internet. This often results in us readers getting treats like this video I'm posting below.
While this may not be one of the entertaining behind-the-scenes videoes that I'm so fond if, it does provide a bunch of useful stuff on the business level.
Exhibition of young photographers
This friday, a group of young and promising photographers showcase some of their photo projects as part of the programme at Københavns film- og fotoskole.
23 students will be showing photo projects about a hitch hiking trip to the danish cities Berlin and Paris (appearently we have cities in Denmark named after the German and French capitols), dead featus' photographed with home built hole camera and ghettoes - in other words, a whole lotta different kinds of photos.
I'ts this friday the 10. of december from 15.00 to 19.00 at

Here's a link to the danish facebook site with more information.
Dave Hill Photography behind the scenes
I love Dave Hill - everyone loves Dave Hill and his photography, or at least, everyone should if I was king of the world. Dave Hill photography should be state religion in the state of awesomeness.
That being said, Dave does post som Behind-the-scenes-videoes on his website from time to time - and here is one of the better ones
Photomeetup Copenhagen 2010

This past saturday, hundreds of models and photographers were summoned to a deserted cargo building outside of Copenhagen. The photographer and blogger Michael Bang had spawned the idea for such a gathering and had hoped for 20-30 insterested, but the facebook event exploded into a staggering 450+ "attendies".
Around 250 people showed up, and without hesitation, models and photographers mingled and started shooting on this fantastic location.
I grouped up with a couple of old faces and a few new, and we did a total of 3 setups during the day. Thanks to Frank Visler, Michael Lykke Fog, Jimmi Larsen, Poul Majgaard and Camilla Hansen (and Bertil Melhof-Pedersen who joined at the last second) for putting up with my crazy and sometimes stupid ideas.
Unfortunately I didn't get to talk with nearly as many people as I would have liked, but I guess I'll just have to make up for that the next time (you already on it Mr. Bang? )
Here's a small video that one of the photographers made
Controversial Photography – Jonathan Hobin

The image above is by Jonathan Hobin, a canadian photographer and art director who just happens to make awesomee and provocative scenes - especially in his latest series called "playroom".
In short terms, he uses kids plays to illustrate taboos in the grown up worlds. Provoked?
Check out a bunch of the images at THECHIVE.COM and read all about it at his website.
Arev Manoukian creates art – a fantastic short film
Some of you might have noticed a shift from only focusing on photography to also paying a bit more attention to music videoes and the film media.
A month back, I decided to explore the world of film- and video making and have had my first short film experiences as a film photographer. I've also joined forces with Copenhagen Records, more specifically their "BETA" department which makes documentary videoes on their artists. So far I've worked with Peter Sommer, Simon Quamm, Silja and Carpark North - which have all been fantastic people and experiences.
But this does not mean that I'm leaving behind photography or is converting this blog to something different. There will still be lots of photo geeking, photoshop and me doing tutorials. Fear not.
That being said, do yourself to check this short film out by Arev Manoukain. I saw it about a year ago, but was reminded of it today:
Nuit Blanche from Spy Films on Vimeo.
and the making of it:

How to instruct your model
Photography is not only equipment, exposure and framing. When shooting people, it's also about interaction between you and the subject - it's about psychology and it's about those little tips to make it all go a bit smoother. I've done some teaching on the subject, but I still get inspired and learn new stuff when i stumble over videoes like these.
First we have danish Yuri Acurs - the world renown stock photographer:
And Erin Manning:
Documentary on David LaChapelle
Here's a small documentary about the pop artist David LaChapelle - in my point of view, one of the most fantastic photographers.
Don't know the man? Check out these images and see if it rings a bell.




Paris Photo 2010
I think I'm gonna book flight tickets for my first off shore photo exhibition/event - the big one in Paris from the 17. to 21. of november.
Apparently, more than 100 galleries and publishers are gathered in the city d'amour, so my advice would be to start looking into your bank account and calender, if you're up for going as well.
Time to get inspired – Sarolta Bán

Never stop getting inspired by those around you, and never stop searching for that inspiration.
I stumbled upon him not long ago and really felt like sharing his art. Go to the link below to see more of his fantastic images.
