Kragerø Redbull cliff diving

2010-07-24T12:46:00.000-07:00

Today it all went down, cliff diving with a massive amount of boat people watching it all. Only 32 dives with to many angles to choose from. Here is one of my favorite shots, Orlando Duque about to leave the lip of the 27meter high diving board. Its just an odd position and it looks like he is just giving his life away.

Boatpeople, well, they are just chilling..

Eyjafjallajökull

2010-05-18T12:55:00.000-07:00

Eyjafjallajökull is the name of the Volcano that is going off on Iceland right now. Hopefully I can go there this summer and shoot it, at least that is my plan.

I shoot this snowboard photo of Ståle up in Mammoth end of April where I tried to get a volcanic feel to it. It worked out how I wanted, and I am amped to get more of this going.

Paradise Hotel

2010-05-12T12:29:00.000-07:00

Winter is coming to an end for me. Couple more weeks with shooting and a tone of editing left, but I can see summer around the corner. I guess it is a good and bad thing, and I will definitely enjoy the last time of snow and make it happen (big shot coming up next week).

Today I had my first bit of summer in my shooting this year. Norwegian production company "Siesta" was making commercials of Paradise hotel people (Reality show about party, games and sex), and I was there to shot stills of them. Film production with tight schedule where I got a little time in between the sets.

Here is a snap of one of the girls..

US travel, April 2010 from Frode Sandbech on Vimeo.

Short edit captured on the road with my phone camera, from the last couple weeks in the US. Moments, friends, some people I met and traveling feelings.. All filmed with Sony Ericsson Vivaz. Technology moves fast and phones are getting good for snapshots. Nice to always have a small cam in the pocket and catch the moments of life.

Torstein - Standard Films

2010-04-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

Spent a week in Tahoe with Torstein Horgmo and the Standard films crew. Late season powder conditions, Northstar park riding, back country snowmobiling and double flips. Torstein got some sweet tricks going and will have a banger part in the upcoming movie ( www.standardfilms.com ).

Snow

Sometimes snow can be really interesting... Lasse and Terje checking out the view.

Gigi Rüf

2010-03-29T12:58:00.000-07:00

Just got back after a week with Gigi, shooting at his homemountain Schoppernau and Damuls in Austria. We experienced powder, hard rain and worm sun that you only get in summertime over there. I guess something is happening with the world we live inn. Anyways, always a pleasure to shoot with Gigi and we got some really nice stuff done.

Next stop is US with Torstein Horgmo and Eiki Helgason. Should be an interesting upcoming week as well.

New arena..

2010-03-24T00:12:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I was up at the new skijumping arena in Holmenkollen, Norway. Shooting for the arena/organizer. A little different then I usually do, but still kind of in the same range. Nice people and good fun.

Arctic Challenge

2010-03-09T03:03:00.000-08:00

Been at home in Oslo for a week shooting the 10th Arctic Challenge. Only slopestyle this year which Peetu won (at the same time he won the TTR title for 2010). Contests are getting harder to shoot as the TV production is getting bigger. As a still photographer we need to stay out of the way. So that was the last contest for me this season. Time to search for powder again :)

Jib in Japan

2010-03-03T23:04:00.000-08:00

Just got back from a trip to Japan with the Rome crew. Riders Eiki, Jonnie, Jonny and Will where tearing up the jibs in Japan. Good people and good riding made it an unforgettable trip. Watch out for photos in upcoming magazines this fall.

Eiki Helgasson on the cover of the last TWS issue of the season. This one was shot at windells/MtHood last July, and is part of my close-up serie where rider is holding the camera. All three of these I did last year made it up as international covers. (got a couple new ones coming from this season as well)..

Here they are side by side.

Still hanging out at his new house in Laax. Good riding and good snow. Frederik Kalbermatten just joined us as well this week before ISPO.. Should be some interesting days coming up with those two.

Winter time

2010-01-10T04:42:00.000-08:00

Winter started late for me this year, but it started good, full on with Terje, Torstein and Ståle end of December. And this past week at the Oneill Evolution in Davos. Packing up here and moving over to Laax for the European Open and some shooting with Nicolas Muller. Got some idés planed out, so it should be good :)

Marcus Keller on the cover of Onboard photo annual. This one is from a series of photos I did last winter, where the riders are holding the camera themselves and I am triggering it from a distance. I always try to work out a new serie with photos every season and try to push my thoughts with it. More like this will be on the way.

Thanks to Onboard, always nice to get a photo annual cover :)

Gigi Rüf, Volcom ad.

2009-11-22T04:41:00.000-08:00

Gigi Rüf is one of the most inspiring and talented snowboarders out there. He´s creativity and eye for new things are unique. This thing right here is an avalanche canon in Cervinia, Italy. There where some big spikes on it, but that did´nt stop Gigi. Some plywood made it ridable. Sketchy rideoff and pretty big drop, still Gigi did 3 different trick off it.

Backlit from the sun and good amount of snowspray makes it look like he is being shot out of the canon.

Cover Norrøna Magazine

2009-11-09T07:05:00.000-08:00

This one came out a couple weeks ago, But I thought I should keep it in the mix. This is Bjørn Thomas, Norwegian skier kid, shot in Andermatt (switzerland) last January.

It was a sunny day, but this is actually in the shadow side, and the nice soft light is from the reflection of the sunny mountain. Getting almost the effect as a big softboks would do.

We had about 20min to shoot some lifestyle for the main feature and cover of UTE (norwegian outdoor magazine). She where on the way to her next adventure and had limited with time. Really nice girl and I am looking forward to see where the future will bring her.

Last day of the season, last trick and the very last light of the day. Andreas Wiig Styling out a handplant after a long day which even included powder riding. On the 12th of May 2009 in Folgefonna, Norway. Always fun to hang out with Andreas and he always delivers strong riding. I shot into the sunset to get the lens flare. This is something I´ve been working on this past season and it is a technigue I really like at the moment.
