Music
August 12. 2013I have spend two days in Copenhagen together with Daniel Aude shooting two music videos for Frank Ziyanak on his coming solo album. I have not been working with video before but that is most definitely something I will do again. Here are a few snapshots I took while working. Maybe you will recognise something in the videos!
July 30. 2013 Earlier this year i was invited to Skuespilhuset in Copenhagen to shoot Den Sorte Skole while they were performing their newest album 'Lektion III' with amazing visuals done by Dark Matters. During the shooting I broke my camera because it hit a door frame. Bad luck!
I decided to play with lights and long exposure photos because the camera could not focus. On the way home to Simon Dokkedal from Den Sorte Skole I realised that I had to do something totally different - and I am actually very excited with the result.
Lektion III consists of 25 track. I've made 25 pictures, one for each song.
July 19. 2013I went to Roskilde Festival 2013 as a part of my holiday. So i took a break from photographing (almost). Here are some snapshots i took.
June 24. 2013In the beginning of June I was working together with the advertising company World Perfect and NorthSide Festival about creating a sustainable profile for NorthSide Festival 2013. We created the campaign 'Lead the Way' trying to encourage people to be responsible with trash at the festival. We used five of my pictures for this campaign and they were literally everywhere on NorthSide Festival - even on the big monitors next to the two big stages.
Here are some of the campaign i shot at NorthSide Festival.
June 13. 2013Finally finished the last exam. Everything went really well despite the fact that I prioritised our exhibition at the Northside Festival higher than the exam. Now I start a big project with Aarhus Kommune it will take one to two months. Exciting, yes!
Here are some snapshots I took at Northside Festival - little bit of everything. I think there has been a huge lack of pictures where the atmosphere is captured at Northside Festival - despite of all the Instagram pictures of course. Photographers tend to focus only on the musicians. I do not!
Maj 24. 2013Today we cleaned Aarhus, why? Because we love Aarhus. City Sweep was arranged by World Perfect, NorthSide Festival & HeleVejen but they could not have done it without the big amount of volunteers. This was part of a bigger campaign about sustainability. The images you see in these photos are some of my photos I took with my old Yashica T3 super on a Kodak Ektar 35mm film. I have always liked those photos but Jonas E. Thomsen from World Perfect was the one that thought of the idea to use my photos and add graphics to them - and he os damn good at it. I am very proud of the product we have made and I am so excited about NorthSide Festival 2013 where even more of my photos are to be used for the campaign. Also I can announce that I am working on a piece of art together with Martin Skyt for NorthSide Festival - This is BIG. Stay tuned!!!
Maj 5. 2013Recently I won a Roskilde Festival Ticket in a photo competition at Aarhus University. The theme was Music. I entered the competition with this photo of Flødeklinikken from Aarhus Hylder Mangfoldigheden. Pretty sweet to win a ticket. Now i do not have to work during Roskilde Festival - though i will still be taking photos there.
Maj 5. 2013Tonight I was shooting at SPOT Festival for Soundvenue again. This time i was shooting Den Sorte Skole, Turboweekend, Cancer, and Vinnie Who. This night was kind of hectic but I think these photos are worth it. Really like the one below with Den Sorte Skole - psychedelic!! I am done for now at SPOT Festival shooting for Soundvenue. Been a while since i shot concert photos but this was great, especially working like this. Normally i tend to shoot a lot of pictures to make a series, but for this job i knew i only had to shoot one or two photos. I tried to test myself on how fast i could get the picture i wanted, took more-or-less 3 minutes every time - so there i can really feel that i have improved. Even though the light settings at SPOT Festival was horrible combining red and blue light. That really sucked! But I don't care.. photoshop is my friend.
Maj 4. 2013I shot some photos for Soundvenue.com at SPOT Festival in Aarhus. Today, Friday, i shot Lulu Rouge, Baby in Vain and Kadie Elder.
31. November 2012I spend a cold and windy autumn morning in Copenhagen with Frank Ziyanak and his daughter. Normally i tend to write a lot of thoughts but with this photo series I will let these photos speak for themselves.
I am very happy with these photos. I hope you get a warm feeling when you see them.
30. September 2012Finally the Magasine is done. We've been so excited to see the finale results. The magazine is made for a guitar shop named Akustikken that sells the luxurious brand, Bedell Guitars. The magazine is made by Jonas Elken Thomsen and Malene Sliphaber Søndergaard. The photo i did is on the last pages.
Here is the photo i did of Ole Abildgaard Thomsen, the owner of the guitar shop Akustikken in Aarhus.
24. September 2012Recently, I have taken a picture for a new guitar magazine. Bedell Guitars is a luxury guitar brand that will be sold in the historic guitar shop, Akustikken. I worked with two of my best friends, Jonas and Malene. They have been responsible for everything in the magazine, and I am insanely impressed with their work.
I had some restrictions. I had to bear in mind that there should be room for text on the right side of the image. I did not use any flash or expensive light sources, only some small lamps that i turned towards the owner, Ole. It has been a fantastic job, and I'm really happy with the result.
We went to Gråsten to help start the process of pressing the magazine. The magazine is printed on biodegradable and recyclable Stone Paper. Actually i think Stone Paper is amazing for photographers it looks incredible and feels so real.
Here is the original photo i took.
9. September 2012I study Digital Design with Asger / Odd Shapes at Aarhus University. (He is also in the Flexi-Phone video). When he showed me his music i knew i had to shoot some pictures of him. I really wanted to make some dark and mystical pictures. So i did that when he performed at Bispetorvet, Aarhus. I hoped for a little less light since that's what i prefer, but i like the outcome! You should listen to this number and watch the pictures if you got the time.

18. august 2012.In my opinion this i one of the best summer-happenings in Aarhus. I didn't really feel like taking pictures this day because I dislike photographing on sunny days. - but who can resist this atmosphere and all these beautiful people?
Their logo is made by Mads Haugsted. All pictures from this day is inspired by this colorful heart.
I really hope you can feel the amazing atmosphere through my pictures!
