Champagne, speedos, hot chicks and the French Riviera!

Drove from Salzburg to Montpellier last weekend. My friend Adrian was down there doing some riding with his bmx bike and wanted me to come down and shoot some pictures he said. Well 1225 kilometers and 13 hours later, passing thru Milano, Nice, Monaco and some other fancy places I arrived in Montpellier, France.
Really strung out from the hours on the road, we started doing some shooting, tried some new dubbel exposure stuff, that turned out really great! Ill show you some shots, but the bangers Im saving for the magazines! ;)
Totally 2445 kilometers and 26 hours in the driverseat this weekend, but it was worth it! Now im up for a shoot with Travis Rice and Air and style, guess its gonna be sick!!
Also thinking about the new Canon G11 as a blog camera, some one have some feedback on it? Trying to do this blog bit more personal, and not only fancy pictures! ;)
Adrian goes nuts in Montpellier
Can tell you it´s pretty weird to see christmas decorations around the palmtrees and tuff!

One more Athleteshoot!

Had an Athleteshoot in Salzburgring outside Salzburg, Austria with Daniil Kvyat and Bernd Hiemer!
We had a really cool shoot, and a lot of fun at the racetrack! Here are some pictures from it!
I also hade some time over to practice some skills in photoshop, not sure if I did it all good, but think it turned out pretty cool!

Oscar Scherlin

Sorry I haven't been writing in some time, been busy with a lot of travel, been to Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands.
I also had an athleteshoot with Mr Oscar Scherlin in Hintertux, Austria. We had a lot of bad weather and crapy snow, so we concentrated on lifestyle and portraits, I think we did get some cool shots!
Hope you will like them!
Johan
Funny picture of Oscar in the shower! An Elinchrome Ranger with a big softbox just to the right of me.
We also had a pool area that we used! Oscar under water, a Elinchrom Ranger with a softbox from the right, and a Quantum from the left.

Fredrik Johansson

Just wanted to show you guys this portrait of Fredrik Johansson. I like those "half" face pictures, it automatically drag your attention to he´s eyes.
Hope you will like it!
Johan

Just another portrait!

A couple of weeks before I left for Red Bull and Austria, I did participate in a portrait light settings course in Stockholm, Sweden. Learned a lot of different light settings with just one kind of background and some few flashes, amazing what you can do with just a few tools!
Here is a shot of our model Sofia. It is merged together from two different developments from Bridge were I changed the color temperature to get the cold feeling, and then another with here face. After that I have worked on here face and skin.
Hope you will like it!

Praying for snow!

Just sitting here at the photofiles office in Fuschl am See in Austria, looking outside my window, and it´s raining.
Just want the snow to start falling so we can start skiing and be creative, and have some fun with my friends!
Putting up two shots from last years Nine Knights, that I actually won with best picture, and got some sweet Dotz rims with me home.
Enjoy!
Winning shot from last years Nine knights!
I really like this picture of Oscar Scherlin, its pure and I like the lines in it, hope you will to!
Got a lot of good creds for it by the other photographers, witch is always fun!
Oscar Scherlin is about to hit the massive kicker

Steven Defour

Here are some shots from my week with Belgian soccerplayer Steven Defour, he´s a realy cool guy! Wish im all luck in Champions League!




WR attempt in slackline!

Red Bull friend Michi Aschaber made an attempt to beat the Wr in slackline by walking a 100 meters long slackline 30 meters above the ground. It all took place in Red Bull arena in Salzburg. Unfortunately he didn't make it, but he was pretty close, and I bet he´s gonna make it another try!
Pretty amazing view from up there! ;)

Nice portraits! (Again)

Found another portrait on my hard-drive! It´s on the Swedish skier Kim Boberg. He is standing in this spiral stairs, were the cool lines cached my eye. Behind him Im using an Elinchrom Ranger, to get some lightning in in the back, and some cool shadows!
Hope you will like it!
Also made this shot of my dear friend Mathilda! Using an Einchrome Ranger with a softbox from the left, close to the model, and an Canon 90mm/2,8 Tits-shift lens for some nice blurry effect. Amazing face with all her cool freckles.

Cover and Milow!

Just decided that Im gonna write this blog in English for my international friends (yes, I have one or two of those).
Got an PDF from Martin Ekman, editor of Magazine Järvsö, got the cover, and some spreads inside about Swedish skier Johan Kristoffers, fun to work for my old hometown!
Cover!
Also, last night I was at the Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Milow was playing a show, and I was there shooting some pictures. Never really listened to him before, but it was a good show, but crapy lightning to take photos in (read to dark, even for a 50 mm 1,8)

Porträtt!

Hittade lite fina porträtt från i somras som jag jobbade med! Tycker dom blev rätt så bra!

Dachstein

Livet går vidare nere i Österrike på internship hos Red Bull Photofiles!
Idag var jag assistent åt fotografen Ray Demski, som är en av deras huvudfotografer.
Platsen var glacieren i Dachstein med den om Tyske OS vinnaren i skidskytte!
Fick några changser att fota då vi var på 3000 m.ö.h

Fin vy hela vägen ner!

Långt ner...
