Stabil himmel

This photograph is a total disaster! It was this incredible midsummer night in Norway when a friend an I went out to the fjord and took pictures of this immaculate sky–not a cloud to find and of the most divine colour gradient you only discover so far up north. The picture was taken with a 4×5″ camera–old school–which was challenging for itself for a photographer like me who never touched a bigger camera than a Hasselblad 500. I set up the tripod and camera and took the shot, put the film back in its box and developed it the day after. The film turned out to be black and white and not as expected in colour 🙁

I thought nevermind, this is where the art begins. The grain of the negative was perfect, the shot boring as hell. What to do? I asked Sebastian Helling, a Oslo based painter and graffiti artist if he wants to tagg it. Mildly speaking he was pleased. I dropped by his studio, he took some cans and did his magic, plain and simple.
