IRAN - Shiraz & Esfahan in 5 days

Probably among the most awe inspring, vibrant and quirky countries I’ve visited to date - IRAN. In a team of Japanese women, we agreed on an intinerary to visit Isfahan and Shiraz in the 5 days we had availabe to us.

I cannot remember all the places we visited, but here are a few and highly recommended:

  • Persepolis, Shiraz

  • Nasir ol Molk Mosque (Pink Mosque), Shiraz

  • Hamze Shrine, Shiraz

  • Isfahan Bazaar

  • Foruzan Carpets, Isfahan

  • Abbasi Hotel, Isfahan

  • Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Isfahan

  • Vank Cathedral (Armenian Church), Isfahan

VALHALLA editorial shot in TRØNDELAG, Norway

As I look back and recall all the commercial versus purely self-initiated creative shoots - this has to be among my favourite and epic to date. The story behind it and the images made possible because of it send me off into a dreamstate every time and makes me realise why I came into this industry.

The model seen here is Sandra M. (from Trend Models, Norway at the time)… We were struggling to find a model with the right look as it was all coming together at the last minute, so close to my date of departure from Norway. Maragareta, the stylist, suggested Sandra whom I hadn’t seen on the main board of Trend Models and I wondered “why wasn’t she there as option of intown talent?” Turns out she was actually in the Kids section and was only 12 years old at the time!
