We do a tribute to Helmut Newton. Leica M240 + Noctilux 50mm 1.0. Daylight only coming thru bedroom window.

Trying out the Noctilux in the studio. This is done using the model light in my Profoto D1 500ws. Shooting at 0.95 wide open with Leica M240. Turing the modellight on highest setting gives me 1/250s on 200iso in this case. Model: Karen Ziefelt and H… — Trying out the Noctilux in the studio. This is done using the model light in my Profoto D1 500ws. Shooting at 0.95 wide open with Leica M240. Turing the modellight on highest setting gives me 1/250s on 200iso in this case. Model: Karen Ziefelt and Hair/makeup: Romina Alvarez. In the portfolio you can see this shoot done with the Hasselblad H5D + HC 150mm N and flash which of course looks a whole lot different that this.

Using the Noctilux on this distance gives some focusing challenges to say the least. Perhaps I find that using this lens in the studio makes less sense than working with some kind of background outside. That will probably show this awesome lens potential best.

Walking around the city center of Copenhagen. Leica M240 + Leica M 50mm Noctilux 0.95 ASPH.

Its actually not easy to make the ropes work but some of the frames like this one turned out like i wanted to so very happy with that. Also i did several different shutter times to get the blur right. Before when i shoot with the M6 I got used to which shutter speed looked like I wanted but on the M240 still learning. Leica M240 + Leica M 35mm Summilux FLE. The models name is Kiki and she likes cake.

We found a flower on the floor from a nearby plant inside one of the major greenhouses. The Noctilux turned the greenhouse plants and tress into some kind of impressionistic painting. Most of my work is black and white but this one had to be color I think with the pink flower the pink shirt and pink lips and the many green tones from the leaves. Leica M240 + Leica M 50mm Noctilux 0.95 ASPH.

He was always inspiring to talk to about photography and traveling which he spend his life on. This was done using the Leica M9 with Leica M 75mm Summicron 2.0 APO. The light is daylight from the bay windows in his livingroom behind me. Viggo himself a lifetime Leica user too.

I meet up with model Stepfanie in New York trying out different ideas. This is Leica SL + Leica 50mm Noctilux 0.95 ASPH.

Leica M240 + Leica 35mm 1.4 Summilux ASPH FLE. Streetshoot in New York walking around taking a look at the city and people living in it.

Trying to get back to the time where I shoot more loose compositions and allowed background mess and other things to get into the photographs. Leica SL + Leica 24mm Summilux 1.4 ASPH.

It seems the distortion is very little so I can use it up close. This is not close focus distance but almost and it leave nice space around the model which I like about this lens apart from the different look from the other lenses I use.

When you see something like this when in New york you just have to shoot it :-) This is Leica M10 + Leica 28mm Summicron 2.0 ASPH

A rainy day in New York City (Leica M6 + Leica 35mm Summilux 1.4 ASPH FLE + Ilford XP2)

Late night in NYC (Leica M10 + Leica 35mm Summilux 1.4 ASPH FLE)

Havanna, Cuba (Leica M6 + Leica 35mm Summicron ASPH 2.0)

Im trying to use the 28mm more and getting some more dynamics into the photographs than the usual 35mm I use the most. (Leica M10 + Leica 28mm Summicron 2.0 ASPH)

Another one with 28mm trying it in the streets as well, getting closer and bringing some more dynamic into the frames. Berlin 2019 (Leica M10 + Leica Summicron 28mm 2.0 ASPH)

I really like the perspective of the 150mm for a portrait in the studio. This is done with the Phase One XF IQ3 100MP + Schneider Kreuznach 150mm LS f/2.8 lens + a single Profoto D1 lamp head with the deep umbrella white

Nordic minimalism in the studio with black and white when sometimes less in more

Turists eating ice cream at Copenhagen attraction Nyhavn. I used the Mamiya 7II with Ilford HP5. I really like the 6x7 format and perspective of the camera and how is seems to turn ordinary scenes into something extraordinary

Pentax 67 camera used here with daylight thru the windows. Film was Kodak Portra 400. The negative is scanned on Imacon X1

Yoga expert Julia af the Urban Rigger in Copenhagen. Leica M10M + Leica 50mm APO Summicron

Aya at he lakes south of Copenhagen. This is made with the remake of the classic Noctilux 1.2. I actually like this one better than the 0.95 because it still show what is going on in the background where I found the 0.95 to makes things too much blurry perhaps. Leica M10M + Leica 50 1.2 Noctilux ASPH

Marie and I visited and old factory that was being demolished. The camera is the Mamiya RZ67 Pro II with the Mamiya 140mm lens.

Maria in daylight in my old apartment now in new scan with my “new” Nikon Coolscan V. I like the grain this scanner does. Leica MP + Leica 50mm 2.0 Summicron APO + Ilford HP5 (ID11 developed)

The read head. Leica M10R + Leica M 35mm Summilux 1.4 FLE

Viggo would have turned 100 this year but passed away in 2013 after a life with photography and always ready for coffee and a talk about everything (Leica M9 + Leica M 50mm Summilux ASPH)
