In august, Interfoto, Anne Lise Flavik, Bilder Nordic and Bjørn Opsahl hosted a workshop with a set of fantastic teachers. Julie Pike, Bjørn Opsahl, Greg Gorman and Morten Krogvold each held a presentation talk and all, except Morten, also taught some of their tricks shooting portrait photos. All the teachers had some different ways of doing things, but it turned out they were pretty much in agreement on what constituted a good photograph. Here are some of my favourites after a weekend of shooting and teaching. The models (except when the participants photographed each other) came from two model agencies in Norway: Pholk a part of Heartbreakmanagement.com and Everybody a part of ebproduction.no.
