Travelling

Its a friday morning and I am up at 10.15. How I love this long weekend of mine. On the past four weeks I haven´t had much of a weekend, this week I do! I am quite exited that a friend of mine from Oslo is in the city today, so I am going to meet her for the day (yes, thats why I am up as early as 10.15 on my day off). And I must say I am quite exited!

After staring a lot at the portfolio of Joey L. I have decided I want to travel, traveling is amazing, and why shouldn´t I? I do have friends all over the world right? All my old roomies from Chatham Square, Mark from UK, Robin from France, Dickie from Hong Kong. And other friends of mine from Japan, Germany, Italy, different states in USA. And not to mention all my Norwegian friends all over Norway. Im guessing you get the picture!

I guess the thoughts came to my head, since my friend Kamilla is visiting me from Oslo. Visiting friends all over the world, AND get to travel! It has to be my dream!

It has been a trend for several years to travel the world, and as I am typing two friends of mine are actually doing that. Spending what money they have earned the past years to visit several destinations all around the world! All my wishes goes out to them, and I hope they are having an amazing trip!

Photoshoot: TV´s

Okay, so since my website is suffering from a few minor errors, I will submit a few more pictures here for my viewers. These are only lit with a TV. Thank you Mulle for being an amazing model!

Sunday

I love All hope is gone. Snuff, and Till we die are amazing! - well for those of you who like Slipknot. haha. Anyways, I finally had a day of from school and work, and got to do.. Schoolwork?

I bought Canon 5D from a friend to day, and I have to say "Dear diary, I am in love". It is just amazing, so I took the opportunity to shoot some pictures for school. And I finally did my TV idea. And the pictures turned out great, completely my style! Sadly for you bloggers, I have to say that I´m not going to upload the finished shots on my blog, and I sadly have no behind-the-scenes shot. From now on I will no longer post final images, only behind-the-scenes and snapshots from here and there. Sorry. 

But to cheer you up, my website is almost up running, and from there you can view ALL my finished work. Thank you for reading my Blog!

Photoshoot: Car-Lights

Nightshoot with beautiful girl, Amalie! Hope to take some more awesome pictures of her in daylight too, she is fun working with and so pretty...! Thanks to my friend Erlend for driving me to the location and letting me use his car-light as a backinglight...

Some results...

My favourite, I love her expression...

Sickness

You would think that being sick would give me alot of opportunities to update my blogg, but I guess not. I hate being sick. As of right now I am enjoying a good sandwich on a late morning looking out the window at a beautiful day of fall. The leaves are colorful and the sky is blue and the sun is shining. I just wanna run out there and take pictures, but no. Im here. Sick. READING about photography. Oh well, Maybe next time. Here are some pictures I thought I should upload

Test shots for the candle shot. Thought these were funny...

The final image... Its so poor. 800 ISO to make it work and on my shitty 400D.. Ahrg

My cousin Ida...

Photoshoot: Candles

So tonight I am doing the candles shot. I am quite exited, and a little anxious that the location might be bad. We´ll see. 

Still saving up for the 5D, looks like I will be getting it at the end of this month. I am SO exited.

Trying to make time to finish my website, but there are hardly any in between school, work, shoots and band practice.

Test shoots

So today Victor and I took some test shoots for my two upcoming photoshoots.

They turned out good, and know I know how I wanna complete my assignment.

Finished pictures will be uploaded on my portfolio (still under construction)...

Using 51 candles....

This actually turned out great!....

Hard to make the TV shot work since they don´t send much light. 4 TVs used...

Upcoming shoots

So for the new school assignment, I have a few shoots coming up. 

Tuesday 7th - Trine and Vegard, focusing on using candles and warm light in a romantic atmosphere

Sunday 12th - Mariell. This is the one I am most exited about! Using two or more TV´s as a lightsource, backing up with a reflector and having her crawl on cement in a parking-lot/house to create a scary atmosphere

Thursday 16th - Ingrid. Focusing on a calm light creating a dreamy atmosphere. Concept is dreams, and Cinderella

I need to set up two more shoots, one for my idea of using a car-light as a light source behind the model, backing up with a reflector making a cool atmosphere I can´t really put a word on.

And then there is also my idea of using two light sources, lamps or something, coming from below, one on each side to create a completely different scary atmosphere than the one with TV´s .

Hopefully it will all work out, I´ll try to post behind-the-scenes-footage ! My website is getting in to shape, you can watch the progress at http://beta.chrisaadland.com

Photoshoot: Ida

Shot some pictures of my cousin Ida today. By her request.

I will put them on my website as it is getting ready! (yey!), but for now you can check it out at http://ida.chrisaadland.com

School and work tomorrow, you can tell I am exited....

Open for discussion- Who really think its fun working at a grocery store?!
