Fotojob: GTS Nordic




Working as a professional photographer is rewarding. Not two work situations are alike, and you get to meet interesting people. :-)

Recently I was asked to shoot both some pack shots (various "dead" objects) and a male model in various work situations in the office of the company - GTS Nordic - who is a service provider of employment and payroll solutions. They help both Danish and international companies and expats with compliance when having temporary work in Denmark.



I faced two challenges - the lighting set-up and the 16:9 format often used for modern webpages.

For the lighting set-up I used two Elinchrome compact flash units and some soft boxes:
  • Elinchrome D-Lite-it 2/4 To Go Kit + ELS Transmitter
  • Elinchrom Portalight Softbox
  • Elinchrom EL-Strip 33 x 175 cm
My Nikon D800 is set to M-mode and exposure is set to ISO 100, 1/60 - 1/80 sec and somewhere between f/7.1 - f/16. It is all about trying to place the light in various angles to the subject to achieve the desired light effect. My main task was to get the light correct on the skin of the model, and an even light on the pack shots, where the shot of the rocket also need some nice reflections.



The I had to frame the picture so as to leave enough free space around the model enabling a cropped 16:9 photo.

Above three photos are only a small subset of the final images that where delivered to the client. Post production was not done by me. Please visit the webpage of GTS Nordic and see how the photos turned out and how they have chosen to apply them. I'm satisfied with the result.

1.000 kontakter på LinkedIN

Jeg har netop opnået 1.000 kontakter på LinkedIN . Det er måske ikke specielt imponerende eller relevant, men i og med at jeg har haft en form for dialog og kontakt med hver og en af disse 1.000 personer, så synes jeg faktisk at det er interessant, idet det giver mit LinkedIN netværk en værdi for mig. For nogle uger siden sendte jeg en besked og et link via "Share an update" boksen til hele mit netværk. Budskabet var, at en af mine LinkedIN kontakter netop havde miste sit arbejde (virksomheden måtte lukke) og derfor var på udkik efter nye udfordringer. I fredags modtog jeg en sms med den gode nyhed, at nu var han i job igen - og kontakten blev etableret på grund af min besked via LinkedIN. Jeg anvender LinkedIN dagligt - både arbejdsmæssigt og privat - og vil ikke tøve med at udnævne LinkedIN til en af de mest relevante og professionelle "social media" platforme.

Familieportræt som gave

Et dejligt familieportræt, som blev givet i en julegave til bedsteforældrene. Det er taget i mit studie i Lyngby. Giv mit et kald hvis du også ønsker et familieportræt til en gave. Du får en digital fil i både farve og sort/hvid. Leveres via DropBox. Du kan også få et færdig print. Jeg printer selv i op til A3+ og via Grafik & Foto kan jeg tilbyde større print og indramning.

Erhvervsportræt til Linkedin og CV

Finn has some strong facial features that fits well to a high contrast b&w photo. I asked Finn to pose facing both with the left and right side tilting his face slightly to give him som options depending on where the photo need to be uploaded. The we tried a more direct pose showing his strong hands and with less contrast. If you live near Copenhagen give me a ping if you want a new set of portrait photos for your CV or LinkedIN.
