Oslo Workshop – Day 1
I’m having a blast here in Oslo, Norway. The previous days I was wondering if the city was build under a waterfall or if it was just raining all the time. But despite the rain, Martha showed us the most beautiful spots in the city, the best coffee places and we even got invited to a fantastic dinner prepared by her personal viking.
Today we had the first day of the 2-day workshop. This was mainly the theoretical part and tomorrow everybody will shoot in small groups. Talking about groups, this one is a lot of fun. I’m so blessed to always get fantastic people in my classes.
Linnea was our model for today. As 95% of the Norwegian girls, she looks simply fantastic but she also proved to be a patient and skilled model, who gave us one killer look after the other. I know it’s really hard to perform model magic in front of 25 geeky photographers, but she did really well.
Here are a few pics I took during the workshop today. I quickly processed them in Lightroom and I’m too tired to talk a lot about the tech stuff, so I’ll keep it simple.
White balance on tungsten to get the daylight shift to blue and a CTO filter on a speedlight (with umbrella) on the model.
From a moody dark picture to a high key summery photo in the same setup. We just ditched the CTO-filter and fiddled a bit with the white balance and shutterspeed.
Saw this killer natural light, coming in from those big windows.
Now let’s try to recreate that light with a speedlight through a shower curtain and another speedlight bouncing of the floor for some fill from below.
One bare speedlight. I love it when you get a model that can take just about any light, makes my job a lot easier.
And now I’m going to hit my bed for some well deserved sleep. Tomorrow it’s outdoor location shooting day!

[...] Da er første dag unnagjort. Mange hyggelige fotografer her, er i alt 25 personer som deltar på denne workshopen. Dene første dagen har for det meste vært lysteori, og litt praktisk undervisning med innleid modell. Har lært mye om hva som betraktes som ” riktig ” eksponering i forhold til ambient lys. Mer morro i morgen. Ta en titt på Bert’s blogg med bilder tatt under workshopen. Klikk her for bilder [...]

bert great photos as always!
Very impressive. Pretty eyes! I love the natural light photos. The others are very beautiful but also gloomy.
I am curious though, did you take pictures of Oslo too..? And if so, do we get to see them?
Thanks a lot.
@Valerie: I took some in heavy rains. I’ll see if there are some good enough pics to post later.
