California. Just it's name conjures images of sunshine and sandy beaches. As part of my West Coast series, I had no choice but to honor this omnipresent ingredient of the Californian lifestyle. Teaming up with Pro Beach Volleyball player and fitness model Chelsea Rashoff, I created a collection of photos that celebrate the suddenly in-vogue sport of paddle boarding. We met in Malibu and worked with a setting-sun along one of the most iconic stretches of beach in the world. How could it possibly go wrong?
FJELLØ FOR DAUGHTERS OF CULTURE
I recently took welcome work trip out to Los Angeles. One of the jobs i did was with the amazing Peggy Khoucasian of Daughters of Culture, a lifestyle clothing line with a strong yogic influence. We got up before daybreak and drove to the Griffith Observatory, a setting known for it's beautiful architecture and stunning views of LA. We worked with yogi/model Emily C. a native Los Angeleno, to create an original series of images for Daughters of Culture's social media content.
Hiking in Topanga
Coming directly from New York City I knew that the first part of my California series should be out and about in nature. Growing up in the country side of Denmark, this is one thing that I often really miss. I love the quietness and serenity that nature gives you. I met up with model / actress Hanna Bjørnø and we drove from her Mid City LA. apartment up to the beautiful surroundings of Topanga State Park and shot our series of images.
