A horse and some lights …
January 26th, 2010I’m really not a morning person i can assure you. So yesterday morning when my alarm went off at 05.15 my eyes hardly opened! The car was already fully packed yesterday evening and my assistant Magnus came by at 06.15 all sleepy eyes and reasy for some coffee!
We drove out to Färsta and an indoor menage which was booked for this shoot. The model was the frieser horse Rocco.
We started to set up and after a couple of hours the star of the day came walking in, an incredible horse i can assure you and i’m not even a horse-liking guy!
I thought it would be really hard to shoot a horse (no not like that 😀 ) and it wasn’t easy either but keeping in mind that it was a horse i could quickly state that i’d had people who where harder to shoot! It was much because of Roccos companion Camilla who today was the girl who spoke with horses 😉
We took some portraits and close-ups of Rocco, and to get that really black background we had an 12×8 foot black backdrop.
Magnus, my assistant, was as usually amazing. He had to act as a lens shade, computer table and behind the scenes photographer! After a while Daniel from the agency came by, he thought the horse was great, as long as i stayed away from him 😀
Anyway it was a really great shoot and i hope i get to shoot Rocco again!
EDIT
The images we shot this day has taken me to the finals in the Hasselblad Masters Awards, and the winner will be announced in the end of 2011. If you want to support me (and Rocco) you are welcome to do so here:
