The Xylander Photosessions - Rain, cold and Hensel...

What a weekend!
700 hundred photos later and im more tired like a turtle on crack.

Thursday afternoon the norweigan pop-artist Ellen Xylander arrives to Moscow, and came to pic me and
Aida up after work.
Really nice girl and i must say she is kind of brave to come to this city before we ever even met.
But from the mailconversations to judge i think we had a clear clue about what kind of persons we where.
And we dont bite. ;)

Anyhow the thursday evening was all about go through what friday will give, and also to check the wardrobe.
And belive me when i say that she was prepared.
5 kilos overweight and more than 15 clothing changes was more than good enough to get many different pictures.

Day 1, Friday. Outdoor shoot at Archangelskoje.

Annelie arrived with breakfast bread, and after a niiiiiice long breakfast i prepared all the photostuff that we should bring.
The plan was to use only the Quadra, and i also brought a white umbrella to shoot through.
Aida started with the make up and hair on Ellen, and around lunch time we where of to Archangelskoe.
We got frozen quite quick cause it was rainy and wet all day...unfortunately, but i think there was a reason fot that aswell.
And yes we got some nice photos.
In one way the weather was good (cloudy), cause then we got good use for the flashes, wich did alot for the final results.
The last photo i was suppose to take, when i just got a brilliant idea, the Quadra and the radiosync didnt like eachother anymore.
Offcourse. My usual luck.
Though the D3X with 24-70 on it, stood the rain for the 3 hours without any problems.
Just wiped it dry when i came home and it continued to work as nothing had ever happened.
I love that camera...& lens!

Day 2 Saturday. Indoor studio at FotoFabrika.

I was unfaithful with 4 Hensel 500 flashes, unlimited use of a great variation of lightmodifyers, backdrops and some smaller mix of props.
7 hours in this studio was like nothing and around 500 photos is a good result.
Ellen, Aida, Martina, Annelie and Sergey did a great job supporting me this weekend, so thank you so much!!
I appreciate it very much!
I could not really done it without you.
Make up, styling, hair, light and in general great ideas and advice.
You make a great team!

The studio shoot was the most fun and exciting i must admit.
Working with so many light possibillities, experimenting and also for real use the Nikon D3X in its proper envoirment.
And as from fridays adventure in the rain, it did not let me down in the studio either.
So in the future i will for sure try to rent a studio in this place again.

Now Ellen will choose her favourites among the 700 hundred photos, and then another big part begins.
Photoshopping.

Stay tuned for the results and some Behind the scenes shots.

Oeppa!

After a couple of weeks with semi hard work ,i must admit, i will have some time now to reflect and plan new stuff....again.
The Gulnaz Wedding shot went well and both her and Yannick where very saticefied with the pictures.
Also i have retouched 8 pics for Ellen Skaug, the norweigan artist. She was also saticefied with the end result so it feels good.
Even though i was abit skeptic first to retouch another photographers pictures, as you can not really control it from scratch, it was quite fun.
He did a good job and there are always a retouch for all pictures.
This guys made quite natural pictures without studiolighting, and using depth of field, so i figured the most applicable style for those where to keep it abit analouge with a twist of vintage/grunge.
Cant post any pics here as they have not been published yet on her site.

Well, the big job is still to come!
Week 41 she will arrive to Moscow and then there will be two very hectic but fun days to just shoot, shoot and shoot.
As i mentioned, one shoot will be outside and the other one in studio.
Now on my "free time" i will just surf around and look for inspiration.
The photographers that brings me most inspiration and ideas right now is August Bradley and Annie Leibovitz.
The studioworks they have is absolutely fantastic.
Im talking about the photos that August Bradley got nominated for the Hasselblad Masters and also the carnevalmask studioshots.
And Leibovitz, well i havent really spend much time to really check out her stuff even though she is the most famous, but recently i stepped over her portraits of the Queen Elisabeth of England and her works with Disney.

What can i say?
Masterclass!
My cup of fucking tea!

And i think i might could offer my left foot, to spend a day or two with the guys who made the postprocessing on those pics.

So whats in the ruff plans from here?

October:
8-12 October - Ellen Skaug Promoshoot
22-25 October - Visit Patrik in Madrid (might be some shots there..)

November:
Photosession with Mascha
Photosession with Misha
