Photo shoot at SOS

SOS International is the leading assistance organisation in the Nordic region. From their emergency centres in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland, they provide acute personal assistance all over the world.

My assignment today was to photograph four employees for an "New Employee Welcome folder" and take some photos from the HQ entrances showing their logo.

The time slot was short, so I went for a simple set-up with one Nikon SB-910 powered with an additional Nikon SD-9 battery pack and mounted on a light stand with a white umbrella. The flash was angled 45 degrees to the left of the person. On the opposite side I placed another light stand with a California Sunbouncer mounted. The SB-910 was triggered with my trusted Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 and MiniTT1. In addition I used a PocketWizard AC3 to control the flash output. I used a Nikon D800 with a Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.

The client asked me to use a brick wall as back drop, which worked just fine. The set-up was in complete shadow, so I could control the light without having to overpower the sun (today we have a clear blue sky and lots of sun shine).

The first photo in this blog post is one of the "logo" shots I took outside the HQ entrance. I chose to post process every thing except the flag as black and white to really emphasize the logo, but still keep it in its environment.

As for the employee photos I'll only show you only one here, that I thing is really good - both from lighting and a post processing perspective (I used a LR4 preset from Matt Kloskowski - "Sports Game Day Desaturated (Light)" - as the final touch).

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.

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.
