UP AND RUNNING

I am not talking about me, cos at the moment I am planking it on my back writing this post, I am talking about my photography website, Marte Stromme Photography.

Today I posted the first blog post, hopefully there will be many more to come in the future. You can check out the first post right here.

There will be more to come on the site, right now I am doing my best to work up a portfolio to kill for. So next week I’ve got 3 shoots lined up, one wedding and two family shoots. Can’t wait!

MOTHER & CHILD

Not too long ago I had the joy of photographing a friend of mine and her baby boy, and I thought I’d share some outtakes from the day with you. I had an absolutely lovely morning with these two, and lucky me, he seems like a natural in front of the camera. I had to add in some photos of their lovely cats at the end as well. Most amazing story, a friend of the couple put a notice out on Facebook about a year ago – he had found two small kittens outside his apartment building – and he needed someone to become kitten parents asap. Someone had just left them there in a cardboard box. They took on the task of raising two kittens, whom had been taken from the mother too early – so now they are a household of 5. Two grown-ups, one baby boy and two of the most domesticated cats I have ever met. The cats act like tiny humans though – to say it like this – they just recently stopped returning back home to use the loo whenever they’re out of the house.

I can’t wait till the next time I get to shoot this lot! Hope you enjoy the images.

WORK ON IT

I am still adjusting to my mass amount of free-time since finishing my degree – and I am trying to figure out what to focus on in the time to come. I had a bit of a revelation the other day – when someone asked me “what’s your goal? what are you working towards now that you are done with your degree?” I went completely blank – and it has been on my mind ever since – the questions constantly swirling around inside my head… Today I am taking the bull by the horns – and I am writing a “list of focus points”… I have decided to get back on my photography work – have lost a lot of focus there when I worked on my final degree – and this just feels like the right moment to get back on to it. It feels like a great revelation – realizing that I suddenly have more time than ever to focus on my creative interests.

Work on my portfolio.

The first thing I want to work on – or the thing I want to work on continuously is my portfolio book… There are so many brilliant ideas out there – now I just have to sit down and figure out what I want to go for.

Then there is the bits I want to work on – start on – extend my knowledge on… The first thing would be wedding photography – I have been asked to do some wedding photography for some friends next summer – and I am overly excited about it. I have wanted to get into wedding photography for quite a vile – but have had no idea of how to go about it. Then suddenly the opportunity presented itself via my “soon-to-be-wed” friends. I will get on the books – and continue collecting inspiration – and I am thinking in the mode of these images:

Besides wedding photography I just want to get back on photography in general – I miss my main creative outlet… I must admit – it feels amazing to be in the “inspired-zone” once more. Here is some photography inspiration to get my photography leg shaking!
