Winter Wonderland starts with a photoshoot...

Working as a hairstylist leads you into quite a lot of different jobs from time to time -though it's always in some way a creative sense to it, the Art Direction that follows always lead me both into new ways of working, and different people to work with. This time it truly was the start of Winter Wonderland, as Swix Magazine wanted to make a special something with two of Norways most profiled ski legends as an opening to the season's World Championship; Aksel Lund Svindal and Marit Bjørgen -enjoy!

Sometimes...

… inspiration is given through a word, sentence, poem or an image. very often, I like to pick inspiration from non-visually things -it leaves you with just the feel of it. In many ways you can connect inspiration and feel in many ways -some are more often used as they're historically strong and has a lot of that historic "weightness"attached to it. As the word "MUSE" -which if you look that upon the web, it will lead you to a L-O-T of articles, imageries and of course; editorials; yet is this a little "old" but as the word being much much older; I find it worthy to post to you guys; if you'll have a close look, the hair is different from image to image, and setting to setting -can you get the feel of that…? Love it…

Suddenly...

I had to...

... deal with the fact that I needed press pictures of myself -who would have guessed I would reach such a point? As I've been working within the industry for almost a decade now, it might just be the time...?:) I love working with the making of pictures,but I'm not so fond of being in front of the camera myself, but... ;) Anyway; here's one of them -hope you like it!:)

You probably thought...

I've evaporated from earth's surface or something, but I've not! I promise! I've just been working a LOT and also been having the role as an interior decorator now that I've finally gotten my own appartment, my life's SO(!) hectic, I don't know how to get everything around! You know how it is?! Or I guess you know how I AM!! Hahahah!! :D Well... lately I've been engaged in a lot of projects I'm not able to blog or give any tease about at all... Some times some of my work is ahead to a publishing date, and especially everybody being so active with their instagram nowadays, (which I love!), we, as creatives, are some times being prohibited to post anything at all! (I hate it...)

I love to blog for you guys, hope you can forgive me for not posting a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g for 7 weeks now! So sorry... 

One of this summer's highlights was this shoot where we did the cover for Margaret Berger's new singel Human Race -I've always been a fan, and this was my first time working with her -phenomenal! 

Thank you so much for an awesome day! LOVED IT!

In between...

... when everyday life is almost too hectic, it's really nice to just take a leap and be "uncle Lars" for a couple of hours -does me insanely lot of good! :)
