Not a Celebrity





Behind the camera of "Not a Celebrity" shoot. 

This is what I call a home studio, when I turn my living room in to a medium format studio. (fun thing to do but not fun when you have to clean it up after)
Equipment I use in home studio: Kenro portable backdrop support, 800W Red Head Kit x2, 3x6 M black sheet as backdrop and also Multiblitz location flash kit which I didn't use in the photo above.

Self portrait

I think this is the coolest self portrait of mine.
X-RAY photography.



This is a X-Ray of me was taken in 12.16.2004 Geneva-Switzerland. 

How to do:
1. Get in the Hockey team of the school.
2. Become a front player. 
3. Get hit on the face with a hockey stick
4. Go to the hospital and get a x-ray done to see if anything is broken.

50 Fashion Designers you should know.

This is a good source for stylists, but it is not a perfect book for referencing because there is only one page of written information per designer which is not enough in my opinion.


Photographing People

This amazing book about photography. In my opinion every photography student should have a copy of this book. A good source for technical lighting, however it is no substitute to testing and trying thing by yourself.

DSLR Shutter Count

This is a question in every photographers mind when they are buying a 2nd hand Camera, How many photos are taken with this camera?

Well there are programs to do that for you. Some of these programs comes free and others comes with price. In both ways you have to have the program in your PC or Mac and not many people can bring their computers in to the place where they buy the 2nd hand camera.


On my "little" research I found a website that will do the same job online.


With this website you can take a test shot and upload the photograph on web to check, while you are still in the store.


Note: Make sure that you upload non-compressed RAW file or TIFF. (RAW is recommended)
