little and big posers

Voilá, may I introduce a little German family! I had a great, and a bit stressful, session with this little boy and his parents in Frankfurt. Babies look so cute in photos but did you know that they ALWAYS pee and poo?! Yes, they do, and the poor Daddy nearly gave up. Mr Baby is almost a month old, usually you shoot the tiny ones when they are about a week old. Then they just sleep sleep sleep and you can bend them backwards and model them like clay (I am not joking).

So here, we waiting till Mr baby was fully asleep and we took advantage of him…till we woke him…oppsiii

being a model

Today I attended a photocourse. Julie Vold, my friend and photography partner, was teaching at Studio Ost about Portrait Photography. I assisted the group. Every student had brought their own model. First we were shooting outside. While every photographer student was occupied in finding the right location and the right light and posing their model, I was walking around carrying the baby of Isabelle and Mawan (students) and the reflector and the umbrella (just in case) – and gave advice.

We also took studio portraits and when the models were tired, or photos were reviewed I jumped in and helped out. And here is me, a portrait of Carlos *smile*

Tusen takk Carlos!

i love prints

Randomly I am sending my images to different labs to test their prints. The German market is splashed with online services and with “try me deals” it is fun to get my own work printed to keep, now and then.

I have just recently visit Frankfurt and Mainz to catch up with friends and do some shopping and picked up these:
