Days at work

Last week i shot a magazine cover for a tourist magazine. It was a winter issue and the cross country skier Johan Olsson with his family was to sit in the snow enjoying the sun! 🙂 But i didn’t have any snow or sun! So i ordered snow from the closest hockey arena and i used my Profoto flashes to create sunlight! About an hour before the shoot the big truck came with all the snow. After that i started setting up the lights. I wanted to have the “sun” straight in the camera from the trees behind them so i took my tallest stand with a lamphead and a Magnum reflector. I also lit some of the forest with another lamphead and the mainlight was a open Profoto softbox from the right.

The shoot went really well even though we had a really thick mist going on, and of course the sun came out the minute i was back from the shoot!

A big thank you to Anders who helped me with some behind the scenes-pictures and of course the Olsson family who managed to keep up the good mood even though they had to sit in the wet snow!
