A N I N T E RV I E W W I T H

VICTOR NORGREN Victor Norgren, native of Sweden, started to photograph in 2009 while at the University of Cambridge. He attended the School of Photography (now:Valand Academy) at the University of Gothenburg under Ann Eringstam in 2011. Norgren photographs portraits and fashion, but also conceptual work and storyboarded series.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and why photography is important to you?

My name is Victor Norgren and I’m a Swedish portrait and fashion photographer, who shoots mostly on film. I live in Lund in southern Sweden. I got a M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Lund University. Photography is important to me because it’s for me the most effective way to express my creativity. What was it that first got you interested in photography?

I’ve always been fascinated by the light (in Sweden Midsummer is in essence a holiday dedicated to the never-ending days) and by the light’s different character and mood. It’s always been quite meditative to get up before dawn just to experience the sunrise. I started taking photos while I did my Master’s thesis at Cambridge (UK). Initially to just document the experience. But it didn’t take long before I discovered that I have rather strong opinions on composition and what’s interesting. Also, one of my friends there had done her Master on Art History and she told me rather convincingly that I had a knack for it. So that escalated quite quickly into both a passion and a lifestyle. Who or what are your main sources of inspiration?

That’s a tricky question. A few years ago I wouldn’t hesitate to name-drop icons like Irving Penn, Cecile Beaton and Helmut Newton, and say that I’m meticulously reading the pages of Vogue magazine. But today, I guess it has to be ‘The Gram’. Not because the other things aren’t true, but mainly because so much of one’s daily photographic consumption comes from Instagram. I would say it’s both models (grauwiemeinekatze, vaderismyfather, wietrznica, pinkpineappple, __latinka__, petraekvall, etc) and photographers (kobiflex, legrainblanc, giampieroassuma, aboutlight_, dkimg, etc) that inspire me. When it comes to models it’s usually that they got a well-defined style, utilize their beauty in a clever way or got a large portion of personality that shines through, and with photographers it’s much more about how they see the light and environment and how they create emotions and moods.

What do you look for in a model when you are planning a portrait session?

First of all, the model has to intrigue me. If her aura or stage presence doesn’t start making small stories inside my head, then I think it’s hard to create something that I haven’t already done. The stories themselves aren’t the point, but they are rather a proof of concept that the model intrigues me and gets my imagination going. My best case scenario is that the model becomes a co-creator, and not just a mannequin. I want to pull something out of the model that they didn’t know they had, and I want the model to return the favour. In a sense a successful portrait session becomes a possibility to get to know yourself better. What has been your favourite photography project to work on so far?

I usually don’t work with projects, since I tend to make them rather complicated. But one project that I’m particularly proud of was back at the School of Photography at Gothenburg University, where I did a conceptual portrait project about engineers where I utilized medieval composition and I had very technical layout. It was great fun and very stimulating, but in the end it became an obsession to make everything connect.

What would be the best piece of advice that you could give a new photographer?

Too shoot and don’t give up. I don’t think people realize the necessity of sticking to something and just go with it. Doing the same thing over and over will improve your skills immensely. And of course, have an audience that you show your work to. People tend to walk the extra mile to get things right and do it well, when they know that somebody is going to watch and have opinions about it. Social media is great in this respect. Everyone can have an audience and find like-minded friends. I suppose that one should also not forget to have an inner purpose with your photography, something that makes it all worthwhile. I mean, photography has to be more than just snapping rad photos for the likes and getting the next cool gear for it be creatively self-sustainable. Having clear visual preferences surely helps. What’s next for you? Are you working on anything you can tell us about?

Creatively, I’ve just discovered Hamburg. Ich bin verliebt! In Hamburg you can be a perfect stranger. It took me four days of wandering around in Hamburg before I heard someone speaking Swedish. How much of a stranger aren’t you then? Also, as someone who has worked in the harbor, the water literally becomes the veins of a city. Hamburg has a character that’s quite compelling. I’m surprised that I haven’t discovered this hidden gem before.

The Five Mistakes Beginner Photographers Make (And How To Avoid Them) Writer / Stephanie Benfield

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

veryone starts their journey as a photographer as a beginner and the majority of photographers that you admire began their photography journey in much the same way as you, by making rookie mistakes. Of course, mistakes are all part of the learning process and will lead you to new and better images. However, you can speed up the process to better images by avoiding these beginner mistakes. 1. Centring The Focus “To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” — Elliott Erwitt When you find your focus, it may seem obvious to make the most of it by putting in front and centre in the image. However, this may not always be the best shot. For example, a landscape scene may cut the photograph in two if you keep the horizon in the centre, making it unclear what the subject is. Avoid It: Instead of centring, try to follow the composition of The Rule Of Thirds. For example, put the horizon on one of the third lines rather than the halfway mark. 2. Relying On The Camera “When people ask me what equipment I use – I tell them my eyes.”— Ansel Adams Buying the first good quality camera can be a game-changer to your photography. However, this doesn’t mean you can afford to relax.You are the person responsible for taking fantastic images, not the camera. If the photos aren’t as good as what you expect from the camera, take time to learn about its functions, don’t assume it will do the hard work for you. Avoid It: Photography is continual learning, not just learning about the camera but about composition, lighting and training your eyes to see the perfect photo opportunity.

3. Being Generic “If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.”— Jim Richardson Typically, beginners will typically take a middle position shot of the subject, or try to recreate images they have already seen. It is vital to experiment, but also to be enthused by the subject in front of you and want to do it justice. Try to put thoughts of past photographs behind you and focus on what you can do to make your photo unique and powerful. Avoid It: The best way to avoid the common viewpoint is to move. Try different angles, move either side of the subject and get snapping.You’ll soon discover what makes a good shot and what doesn’t. 4. Cramming It All In “Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.” - David Alan Harvey With plenty of inspiration in front of you, you may want to get every aspect in one picture. This can take away focus from every aspect, making the photograph look cluttered or losing the sentiment or emotion you were trying the create. Cramming in as much as possible can ruin the story you are trying the tell. Avoid It: Don’t assume you only have one shot. Instead, take multiple shots leaving aspects out and adding them in. Then you can review what works and what doesn’t. 5. Not Having Fun “Only photograph what you love.”— Tim Walker Getting to grips with photography and a camera is challenging, but it should always be fun. Photography gives you a chance to explore the world and tell stories from your perspective. Not every image you take will be perfect, regardless of whether you are a beginner or expert. However, the important thing is to let yourself make mistakes and not give up. Avoid It: As Tim Walker suggests, only photographing what you love will ensure you remain inspired.

Illustration is the common thread through his creative experiences. This self assigned project was to establish a quick style for editorial and magazine work. The goal was to explore the last moments before or just after waking from a dream, the feeling of trying to decipher what you just experienced. Similar to Guy Billout’s Atlantic Monthly drawings: most of what’s there looks like reality except for the surreal basis of the idea.

ERIKA M AY B U R Y We interviewed Erika Maybury, Managing Director of Hollywood Agency based in Holmfirth, Huddersfield, UK. Erika started the agency at 19 and recently won the Huddersfield Examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Interviewer Benjamin Wainman

What’s in the name?

I’m a big believer that age should never be a barrier to success in business. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

I’m Erika, I’m 21 and founded Hollywood Agency three years ago. I am a passionate marketer with strong growth ambitions for my business. Hollywood Agency is a full-service marketing agency offering everything from a logo design to a brand launch , PR and communications. We are a team of 10 - not a ‘Jack of all Trades’ group experts in our specific fields. That’s what our clients love about us. Hollywood Agency is known for thinking outside the box and for great ideas that deliver.. We ensure our clients make a statement and are remembered for all the right reasons. What drove you to start your own business at 19 years old?

I started out as an apprentice at a Leeds-based marketing agency and then moved on to work for Worthington Brown. Worthington Brown is an incredibly well-known design agency in Holmfirth and have a fantastic portfolio of clients. WB were delivering design, web, video and TV advertising and It frustrated me that campaigns were not being communicated onto social media where they gain maximum exposure. I saw this as opportunity - Yes, there were businesses offering social media management and comms to their clients in the area, but not with the fresh approach I could bring - I knew how to make an impact on social media and was confident that I could achieve excellent ROI through social for clients. I set up Hollywood Agency with Neil Worthington from Worthington Brown as a Director and advisor to the business, it’s been great to have such an experienced mentor. Having the backing of Neil and a strong team around me has allowed me to drive the business forward and develop into a fullservice agency.

The name is actually a nod to our picturesque location. In the 1800’s Holmfirth used to be called Holmfrith with translates to ‘Holly Wood’. The connotations being that if you’re looking for the best of the best in the world of glitz, glamour and film, Hollywood is where you’ll head first. How did it feel to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the Huddersfield Examiner Business Awards?

It was amazing. It was a huge compliment to know that we’re being recognised in the area. The category was under 30, and I won it at just 20, making me the youngest person to ever scoop the award. It was an excellent achievement, and it was also great for business. I was astounded at how many doors it opened for us and how the profile of the business was raised. Six businesses who were in the room on the night are now loyal clients! Being young can come with its own set of challenges so it’s great to have the backing of a well-known award. It has shown me as a credible businesswoman and is proof that all the hard work has paid off. What advice would you give to someone who is looking to start a business themselves?

I would say build a network of like-minded business people who will work with you and advise you.You hear the phrase ‘you become who you surround yourself with’ and I think it is so true. I try to absorb as much as I can from other industry professionals and only want to work with people who are just as driven as I am. What do you see for the future of yourself and the agency?

World domination. Well, maybe we wouldn’t go that far but we will stop at nothing to be the go-to agency in Yorkshire and beyond. We are a team of marketing enthusiasts delivering fantastic results so why not? One of our recent achievements has been the launch of our PR division which is headed up by Andrea Long (former Director of Communications at The Royal Armouries). It has lead to us recruiting an in house copywriter and journalist to facilitate the growth that this division has brought. This department has grown incredibly quickly in such a short amount of time and we are confident this will continue We are also in the process of sourcing premises for our new Oxford office; we can’t wait to bring Hollywood ‘Down South’!

What sets you apart from other agencies?

We are the full package. I have a fantastic young team who are bursting with dynamic ideas and enthusiasm coupled with the 28 years experience that my co-director Neil brings. As a young team, we’ve all grown up with social; we live and breathe it. We can’t eat a sandwich without tweeting about it or posting on Instagram with a fab picture. We haven’t had to learn social media, we’ve had to learn marketing principles and apply them accordingly to the social realm. When it’s the other way and social media is an add on, the result can be quite dull and cheesy. We know how to make an impact, we know what’s cool, what’s trendy and what actually works.

COZY MINX Cozy Minx is a one-person love story, a “self-love” story. It’s being delicate, kind, and sensual with yourself in ways we normally seek to receive from others.

he nostalgic undertones are reminiscent of a hazy romantic memory that we often yearn to experience again and again. However, the true romance and intimate affirmations we crave live not in another—but in ourselves first.

orocco is one of my favourite places to visit and is excellent for photography. It has a variety of landscapes from the rocky coastline, empty deserts, snow capped mountains, and bustling towns & cities. The people are friendly, the food delicious and the travel is cheap. For people in the UK I always think of Morocco as being the closest place that you can fly to that has the biggest cultural differences to home. The first time arriving in Morroco can be a bit of a culture shock! Marrakech for example is an ambush on the senses: street

performers approach you with snakes and monkeys, dark twisting alleyways entice you until you get lost and a constant buzz seems to radiate throughout the city. However, it is good fun, safe and always makes for interesting experiences. A few years ago I returned to Morocco for a couple of weeks with a friend. Starting in Marrakech we moved on to the Atlas Mountains for some solitude before heading to the coastline and visiting the cities of Casablanca, Rabat, Kenitra and Meknes. The following selection are some of my favourite images from that trip.
