Say hello to Emil. Emil was the athlete in front of the lens at my skydiving shoot. Emil recommend to shoot him while he was doing a trick easily described as a front layout from belly - a reversed Jesus rising to heaven. I loved the idea because it starts a lot of thoughts at the one looking at the image, when a guy is flying head first towards the ground. What do you feel when you see this image? •

This is @benjilaud from @fluxfreefly . He was the one holding the @profotoglobal B1X at the free fall at my skydiving shoot. It isn’t normal to skydive with anything in your hands, but Benjamiin is an experienced guy, who already tried skydiving with fishing nets, fruits and other crazy stuff - don’t ask me why. After attaching the Profoto B1X with a rope to Benjamiin, was his job to point the flash at Emil at all times. I don’t know why, but I think it looks pretty cool when Benjamiin was skydiving with the flash. •

Please let me introduce @jl_madsen. Jacob is one of the athletes form team @fluxfreefly . Free fly is a competitive skydiving discipline were two athletes perform acrobatic maneuvers in free fall while being film in the most harmonic and artistic way by the third athlete. Jacobs role is to film Emil and @benjilaud from a close distance using a helmet mounted camera while they perform. He usually does that with being flat in the air with his back facing the ground. He was also the one filming me from the air for the behind the scenes video for my skydiving shoot. •

I have had the idea of doing a shoot while being in a free fall ever since I skydived for the first time. To be honest the first skydive I ever did was more then enough for me - I woudn’t like to do it again. But the idea of the shoot was stuck in my head. So I teamed up with the guys from @fluxfreefly gave them a @profotoglobal B1X and jumped out of an airplane at 13,200 feet to take my photography to new heights.
