Dag 79 - En Kuns(tig) Flodhest

Endnu en dag hvor jeg leger med min nye flash - Speedlight SB-900. Dette lille kunstværk - en sten flodhest, ville jeg gerne fotografere som et kunstkatalog foto. Så den blev placeret på et stykke hvidt papir og et orange filter blev monteret på flashen (for at tilføje varme og glød).

Derefter skød jeg et par fotos på forskellig blænde (det gør dem gradvis mørkere) og smeltede disse fotos sammen i PhotoShop (anvendte bl.a. blend mode "Overlay" med oppacity = 45%). Herefter tilføjede jeg et sort/hvid blend lag og trak ca. 35% af farven tilbage i fotoet. Dermed fremkom en blød varm farve, der ikke bar præg af den kraftige orange belysning fra flashen. Endelig blev der tilføjet skarphed til ansigtet og en anelse ekstra kontrast. En lidt kompliceret proces, men jeg er godt tilfreds med resultatet.

It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
