For my second portrait shoot I met up with a good friend. Mette had seen my post on Facebook and we quickly booked a date to do some portraits. Once again I learned some pratical stuff – don’t forget your gloves when you’re photographing in winter time.
Nikolaj was first to respond to my offer of free portrait photography and we met up in Frederiksberg Park on a bitterly cold Saturday. Nikolaj is a Twitter contact of mine and we got right to it. I got some much needed practice photographing and learned some practical stuff about doing portraits.
I’ve been surprised about how many have gotten back to me in so short time. I did shoot #2 yesterday and am doing a double shoot on Saturday. I’m still offering free portrait photography so if you’re interested mail me {preben at arentoft dot org}.
I got a quick response from one of my contacts on Twitter to my post about portrait photograpy and we had agreed to meet in front of Frederiksberg Park. While I waited I snapped some photos to check out the light.
The portrait photos of my Twitter contact turned out decent. I’m still postprocessing, but I learned stuff and that was my goal. Thanks to my first subject. It was nice to meet one of your online social buddies despite the bitter cold Saturday afternoon.
My next portrait shooting is tomorrow. I’m meeting a good friend I haven’t seen in a while.

While waiting for dinner to get done in the oven you might as well practise portrait photography.
As you might know I like to photograph. I photograph everything I find interesting, but have found I especially like to photograph people and tell their stories. Lately I have felt I needed to kickstart myself to continue to learn and to keep finding joy in photographing. After viewing Dan Winter’s portraits last night I just thought: ‘Why not start there’. So. I’ll take your portrait for free. Yes. Absolutely free.
You have to live in Copenhagen and the session can either take place outdoors or at your place. I’ll spend 30 minutes with you and photograph you in that time.
Keep in mind that I’m not a photographer by trade and therefore am not an expert with lighting conditions. It shouldn’t be a problem, but I’d just like you to know what to expect from me.
You get to keep 10 photos from the shoot. I’ll postprocess the photos and choose which ones you’ll get. I’ll make the photos available to you by download and only to you. As I am trying to improve and maybe build a portfolio I am planning on putting some photos on my website or this blog.
If you are interested send me an email at preben at arentoft dot org.

I stumbled upon Dan Winter’s website via a photo of Brad Pitt scanning a Hustler magazine. (you might have seen the series of Brad Pitt photos in the August edition of WIRED)
His portrait series of various celebrities are great. Actually I’d say they are stunning pieces of art.

I visited my good friend Jesper Monday morning and we went for a walk on the frozen lake Buresø.
If you’ve got an iPhone and love Lego why not download the Lego photo app (iTunes appstore link).
The app lets you turn photos into lego-brick art. Unfortunately I don’t have an iPhone any more and have not had a chance to try it but it looks to be well executed and it is free !!!
Go get it.
We made Bella jump during our walks in the snow while we were on Christmas holiday in Jutland.
