Interview with Erlend Daae

22 May 2015

Posted by Sally Hart

Hi Erlend! Tell us about yourself in two sentences - who are you?

I am 24 years old and I never feel like I'm doing enough photography, yet I have studied it for three years. Photography is at the heart of my life and for me it really is the hardest and the easiest thing in the world, at the same time.

QWhat's the weirdest situation you've found yourself in while taking a photograph?

AI can't pick out one single image, but I took a trip with a cruise ferry with my friend. The intention was to do a photo series on the other travellers aboard. It was a surreal view into what gambling, drinks and international waters can do to people who are stuck on a boat, with no escape, for two days. I took images of them to show how desperate their partying was and it wasn't the most flattering imagery, and then I had to meet everyone again, sober, the day after. We were all trapped on that boat.

QWhat do you shoot on? What's your favourite set up?

AI have been using a Canon 5D Mk II, a workhorse of a camera, with mostly a small 35mm f/2.0 attached. It's a crude lens, but it's small and so good for it size. I'm currently in a time of transition. I've moved more and more from 35mm to 50mm and I'm thinking of converting from Canon to a Nikon D750. For a tech geek like me this is a big step. It has been very fun to have to familiarise myself with a new camera though. It has given me a refreshing look at how I use a camera and I have gotten out of some bad habits.

QWhat's your number one tip for an aspiring photographer?

AIf you're just starting out, take a lot of images, a LOT. Throw away most. The more images you take, the faster you will learn the technical stuff. The more images you have to choose from, the better you will get at picking out the good ones. But most of all, think about and talk about photography. Find someone you trust and talk about what you think photography means to you. Creating your own philosophy will be one of the hardest, but most rewarding things you will ever do. I'm still struggling with that last one.

'Picking a favourite shot is one of the hardest questions for me because I get very attached to all of my photos, but "Man in A Red Hat" is one of my all time favourites. I was ... Read more

'Picking a favourite shot is one of the hardest questions for me because I get very attached to all of my photos, but "Man in A Red Hat" is one of my all time favourites. I was walking in Oslo, Norway, looking for people above the age of 60, wearing glasses. It was for a series of photos for a school project. I saw this man sitting on a bench and immediately went over and asked if I could take his picture. He wasn't sure and I sat down and talked to him for a good ten minutes. He showed me some documents he carried around stating that he had been a soldier and I understood that he was a troubled person with so much history. I had been so busy looking for visually interesting characters that I had stopped seeing the person behind the skin. It was good to get this reminder that the people you see on the streets can have the most amazing and heartbreaking life-stories. After our talk he let me take one, single frame. I asked to take another, because I wanted to move closer, but he closed up and didn't want me to take any more.' Read less

'Taken from the top deck of the cruise ferry, Color Magic. I was standing by the railing, looking out at the horizon, but then I looked down, drawn by the sound of frothing water. When I saw the two men I saw how small they were compared to the power of the sea. Yet somehow we had conquered it.' Read less

'I simply walked up to this guy and shook his hand, introduced myself and said "I have to take your portrait". After he accepted my request I pressed my 35mm closer to his face than he had anticipated and he started laughing. We ended up talking for a few minutes afterwards about the Red Cross, which he worked for, a very nice man.' Read less

'Part of a series I did as an entrance exam to the school I study at now. There was something very aesthetic about this man's body and the way he was. I ended up taking a lot of photos of him, even though I was supposed to cover all of the clients at the boxing studio. It felt like he really enjoyed doing the hard warm up exercises and got into the zone, so to speak.' Read less

'I was playing around with the sun, putting it in the corner of the frame, trying to produce a lens flare across the street. Suddenly this girl came out of a house on the right, grabbed her bike and crossed the road. I was already standing there with the framing done, all I had to do was press the shutter.' Read less

'After a few boxing matches had passed during this tournament I had seen the trainers swinging a wet towel really quickly to leave small drops of water spraying over the boxers faces. When the next round was over, I ran over to the corner with the best lighting, tried to get as close as I was allowed and snapped away to catch the drops midair.' Read less

'A historic game between two tiny, local Norwegian football teams. As a football match it was tiny, but the crowd went totally wild. There was actually a fire on one of the stands before the game started, and some people were even arrested as the starting whistle blew. The colour of the blue smoke was just beautiful and it was so thick, it was just an amazing moment of unhinged celebration which you don't see very often in Norway.' Read less
