Official Canon Norway Photographer

Today it was announced that I am one of 7 official photographers for Canon Norway in 2014. I have been collaborating with Canon Norway for several years, starting with the now famous 5d mrk II in 2009. Its such a special honour being recognized by the actual people who manufacture the equipment I use.

The Canon 1DC and Kinotehnik EVF

2012 done.

Big shoot scheduled to premiere in january Its been quite a while since last update. If I tried to make any money of this blog, I would be in deep trouble. November - december has been crazy busy, as the traditional Eurovision/Nobel productions clash together. Ive also done some commercials this year, making the schedule into christmas pretty unhealty. Blogging is therefore not my top priority. I cant imagine how some of the top DoP/Bloggers can keep it up. Three of the four boys (girls, whatever) I used to shoot Nobel. Norways first c500! I got my hands on the very first c500 (Thanks to…
