Assignment: Shoot pictures of Rodovre Concert Band’s Fall concert
So I was assigned to shoot pictures of a Symphony Orchestra playing. There were plenty of opportunities and I was pretty much given all the time in the world to get the job done.
Going in close with my 70-200mm is the obvious. It’ll show you somebody playing [...]

Organized yardsale

Yard sales are popular in Denmark. Throughout the summer months in Denmark there are several organized yard sales around the country.By organized I mean people pay for a spot on a field or huge parking lot or whatever and brings their stuff along.

Sports

It’s no secret.. I really enjoy shooting sports. People can argue how much sports photography is “photojournalism”. Still, it’s about documenting what happens.
I’ve spared you quite a bit and I’ve hardly posted any sports at all. So here’s a selection of some of the sports stuff I’ve shot.

This photo made the paper.

Didn’t make the paper. [...]

Be ready

Ok … This might just be luck. But shooting sports has taught me one thing… Be ready.. Ready for anything..

I can’t remember how many shots I know I’ve missed because I had my camera about a foot away from my eyes, looking at the action with my eyes and not with my eyes through the [...]

Anyway, the Slideshows should come soon.

Dancing in the Dark

Today I shot a dance show. It was the result of a week long workshop for potential dancers.

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about it, other than the light was… I wont say horrible, because it was actually pretty cool. I did have to pull out the good ole’ ISO 1250 on my [...]

The Prime Minister

Last week I shot pictures of the Prime Minister of Denmark - Anders Fogh Rasmussen. I have to admit I think that’s a pretty cool assignment. The reason was that a Danish insurance company had been running an immigration project to get immigrants in jobs and had doubled their number of employees with a different [...]

Murder at the library

Last week the local library had an event for young kids. They thought they were just there to hear about forensic work and how to gather traces. The police was there, a cop in uniform along with a criminal detective. During the presentation a scream came from a room in the back of the library [...]

My approach

So I’ve been talking about how I feel about portraits and what I want out of them. Here’s my experiences on approaching the people so far.
The first couple of times I shot portraits, I was kind of nervous. It may sound ridiculous, but I didn’t want to appear as somebody who had no freaking idea [...]
