The plan was to check for locations on Thursday and have the primary shoot, the test shoot for FHM Norway, on Friday with Saturday as a buffer day. Well, since no plan ever stays intact, I was not surprised when I got the call from the TV crew less then a week before the departure. That delayed me for two days. Then Iselin had to go home already, since she had got a new job.
So the main shoot had to be on Saturday, an extra day for Iselin on Sunday, sending out a proposal for a bikinishoot on Malta on Monday, shoot Heidi an extra day on Tuesday, having a fashion shoot for a luxury club, Club TwentyTwo, on Wednesday and then *poff* - the week was gone.
Most of the images are commercial from these shoots, so I just add some of the behind the scenes shots Martin took and some pictures we got, just having a training shoot with Heidi in the harbor below Martin's apartement. I had to show my Malta assistants how to handle a rock-n-roll shoot - when you carry all the equipment and shoot while moving. Perfect for crowded locations or locatons where you might not get permission to shoot...
I hope you notice one thing: if you joing us for a shoot on Malta - we will shoot a lot! Be prepare to work hard, but also to have a lot of pictures with you back home.
Why do we choose to go to Malta to shoot?
- The light. Even during winter/rain season there is always a couple of days with sun
- The temperature. We shot Heidi on the balcony only dressed in baby oil and a scarf. That would not been pleasant in Sweden right now.
- The locations. There are plenty of locations, indoor and outdoor just around the corner. Ancient, modern, nature, luxury - all close. Martin and Chris are scouting them as we speak.
- The people. There are a lot of nice, helpful, friendly people on Malta. That makes a job like mine a whole lot easier and a hell of a lot more fun!
- The party. Well... There are a lot of nice clubs in Malta. Those moments off-duty can be a lot of fun there. :-)
