Before and after "Big Buddha"

The making of The Crow

This is personal work.

When I was shooting Emmanuel “flying” in the studio and ready to kick a ball, I did not have any idea for a background.

While I was looking at the picture of Emmanuel, I remembered a phrase from a song made by Lasse Dahl for our local team Moss Football club, which is something like: "The crows always fly the highest”. Meaning: they're the best, I think :)

The crow is the symbol of my hometown Moss, and Moss Football club is referred to as “The crows”.

That's the remarkable story behind this picture ;) The burning ball has no meaning, I just thought it was a nice addition.

The background I photographed out the window when I was flying home from vacation a couple of years ago.
