Leica S1

In 1996, Deep Blue defeated chess grand-master Garry Kasparov for the first time, Dolly the cloned sheep was born, and digital cameras were still out of the reach of most consumers. This was also the year that Leica released its first digital scanning back, the S1. This bad boy was designed for the company's 35mm R-series lenses (with lens mounts for a number of other manufacturer's optics) and captured 1.4-inch square images. And what did you get for your $21,500? A camera that operated at ISO 50 and produced 48-bit (151Mb) image files with "little if any of the artifacting, blooming, and fringing that continue to plague us to this very day," according to B&H. And as one would expect from Leica, it has a design that inspires significant gadget lust. Hit the source link for plenty more photos.

Daylight Studio

We have now made it possible to shoot on white backdrop with daylight conditions.
No matter how much you try to create daylight in studio it will never be the same as actual daylight. Our backdrop is facing north so it wont get struck by sunlight, which gives that amazing smooth light...
I might add that the images are taken straight from the camera and have not been retouched, so as you see there are now shadows at all.

Shooting in the Rocky's

We have just got back from a photo shoot in Marble, colorado for Aagaard. the trip was a big success, the Rocky Mountains are a brilliant winter location, specially if you need to find winter in late may and with our local location scout and production man Gary Hubbell we where able to shoot in some hard to find places and with amazing props. We want to give Gary a huge thumbs up for all the good work and for making things happen on the set. There is no doubt that this is not the last time we shoot in the Rocky's!!

Hedetur

Ib&co asked us to develope a visual style for their new iPaper, the theme they wanted was a fairy tail look that would fit the big meadows that surrounds them. One of the goals we had set us was to give the images a curtain monotone character so that all the black and white graphic elements would blend in easily. The green tone we picked really compliments the nature elements and the rich clouded sky that brings in the dramatic feel in the images. We really feel that we accomplished what we set out to do.

3D with 7D

Aarhuskontoret gave us the challenge to shoot portraits in 3D. But before we could start shooting we had to solve some technical issues since there is no digital 3D still cameras out there worth mentioning. We found the swedish company Syndicate that had built a prototype rig for the Canon 7D and then we turned to Canon Denmark that lend us two 7D cameras.
