Maison du Lac

I worked with Kristine Rasmussen the other day, portraying her shop, Maison du Lac (www.maisondulac.ch) in order to get images for her new website and to communicate her take over of the shop to the media. It is a great store with a lot of personality, selling very attractive products for the home!

EPFL

I also did some work for EPFL. The Executive Master program had invited the Director General of La Poste, Mr Edouard Dayan. It was a great day and the students clearly enjoyed interacting with Mr. Dayan.

Jorgen Rasmussen

I recently did a job with a graphic designer, Jorgen Rasmussen (www.j-rasmussen.com). He was hired by PSI (www.world-psi.org). It was a fun and challenging project.. The brief was to photograph "hands"...

Nestlé

Over the past few months I have enjoyed working with Nestlé, supplying them with images for the media, as well as for their in-house magazine at their headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland. It's been a good experience working with some great people as well as seeing how such an organization is working.

Geneva @ Night

I've started teaching Photography in Geneva at Studio23.ch and I took some students to do some night photography. The eveninig proved to be brilliant as it started to rain, thunder and display plenty of lightening! I satyed behind and and enjoyed it for a while...

"The Magic Circle!"

In mid-January I photographed Magician Chris Howell (www.projectillusions.com / www.christopherhowell.net ) at the Magic Circle. Chris is a member there and this was a commercial presentation. It was another great show and lot’s of fun to photograph!

Restaurant Scene. No-one coming.

This is the next scene for the project with Alex. It shows someone waiting for someone. No-one is coming though, maybe. (The vine was fantastic!

Rose

Chris, here are the two versions of the rose shot... -Kristian

And some more of the Walker....

These two are samples that may go with the City walking idea.

Walking shot with Chris.

This is meant to illustrate walking, basically. It will go with the "city scene"; looking or searching for somthing better. As the Cafe scene, this is a sketch and is originally a Wide format/ fil scale 16:9.

Shoot 3 with Dimka & Chris. "Cafe Scene"

This scene depicts a "near meeting" moment. The idea is that two people almost meets and this meeting could change their direction in life, either professionally, personally or in any other way. These images are in no way ready, but consider this as a sketch.

A Wall & a Door. And some steps.

Second shoot, with Chris.

Here are the raw files from the shoot with Chris. The idea was to create a metaphor for "going in circles", looking for the direction to take for the next step in life. The visualization of this short narrative was to be shot in a cinematic way to emphasise the continuation of the "story". Colouring/ gelling will come later. It is a "blue or a yellow chapter" as far as I am concern.

Project with Alex.

I am at the moment working on a project with a friend (See prior post further down..). Our thoughts are coming together and it is only a matter on when we can get together and do it! It is about the "times or moments when life takes a sudden turn". It is an interesting thought and allows for different interpretations. I feel we are close enough in our ways of seeing the project and to get it off the ground. Over the next two months we should be a long way on completing the photography and start the postproduction. As Alex is a musician, he will be doing the sound to this collaborative work.
These images is from the first "scene" we shot.

Hilton

Last week I was working for Hilton Hotel. They have just opened a new hotel in Canary Wharf, London. I was photographing their induction session for new employees. Canary Wharf is the "new" city area of London, a hyper modern financial district of town. It means anything built in this area is sleep and stylish. It was fun to witness the planning and the effort put into this project.

Theatre

The play "SCENES FROM AN EXECUTION" by Howard Barker takes place this weekend and I photographed them during their last dress rehearsal. Here are some samples...

Some draft images to be worked on..!

At the moment I am working with a friend, Alex, who is a musician, on a project. It is about merging Colour & Sound with a storyline. The storyline has to do with coincidence in life, about all those small moments that leads to bigger moments... Sometimes it is rather interesting to ponder on why you are in the situation you are in, whether it is a bad situation or the climax of your dreams.
