Nomad Magazine issue 1 – Home

Posted on July 23rd, 2011

It is exciting to present my first publication, a magazine called Nomad featuring stories and images from my on-going journey as a nomad photographer. The first story of Nomad focuses on the subject of ‘Home’. What is home to a nomad? What is the feeling of home? Featuring 30 images of homes captured by me around the world to show the many different ways in which we live. Price is only $20 – click here to purchase on the magcloud website. Below is a video of the magazine. PS. Yes, I ended up breaking my own rule of no self-promotion rather quickly. And I need to wave my arms around a little less on video!

Home

Posted on July 4th, 2011

HOME. It is more than a place, more than a location. It is a feeling and a state of mind. Home is usually associated with many memories. Home can be a place you are very attached to. Home can be filled with stuff that helps you define who you are and your relation to the world. ‘Home is where the heart is’ goes the saying, although I am not entirely certain what this means. ‘This place feels like home’ is another saying, one I have said myself on occasions. In reality it makes little sense as I find we always tend to say this almost right upon arriving. What then is the feeling of home? The feeling of home is no doubt very important…

A Stormy Mind

Posted on June 21st, 2011

I am waiting to get my groove back. There is a storm raging in my mind. I miss the ocean like the deserts miss the rain. Tim Winton’s Breath is amazing. Freediving even for just a few seconds is spellbinding. The sea can scare me. The sea can make me feel strong and calm. Breath. Holding my breath. EDIT: Neglected to mention the image. It is a late night Photoshop creation of many different layers, waves, clouds, textures and a self portrait. Very dark, should be viewed in a dark environment.

Website re-design

Posted on June 13th, 2011

My website features a beautiful new background designed by the great designer and photographer Jesse Speer. I loved the old desert background but felt like a change, I wanted a new background featuring faces and places from my recent images and radiate life and warmth. Jesse Speer again delivered magic and I love the new background. It is a bit more busy but is much more where my photography is now. We also decided to just go with a tiny text logo with my name and let the site and my work speak for itself. Jesse calls it an anti-logo and I like it very much. Have a look at www.flemmingbojensen.com Remember to also checkout the Recent Work and Portfolio: People and Portfolio:Landscapes galleries.…

Who am I? Nature versus nurture

Posted on June 9th, 2011

Think of this: remove yourself entirely from your current life, your environment and the people you know. Start a new life in a new environment with new friends. Are you the same person? Are you completely unchanged by a completely changed environment? It is the old question of nature versus nurture, heredity versus environment and it is the question I ask today. It has been on my mind for a few weeks where I have possibly had far too much time to think while being under the weather. I contemplate this question as I have arrived in Copenhagen after 7 months. I now have two environments and two sets of friends, two lives that I live in two different languages. It is sometimes slightly…

The Tale of King George Falls

Posted on May 29th, 2011

The location is the Kimberley in Western Australia after a record setting wet season.. The scene is the mighty King Georg Falls. The falls are twin 85 meter tall waterfalls with spray rising to well over 120 meters in the air. The air being pushed away by the waterfall is so severe it feels like being in a storm. Add the True North and the scene is set for True North Mark, David Bettini, and yours truly to experience and capture epicness. As Mark, Dave and I arrived at the scene in a tender boat we were challenged by mother nature to take in this spectacle of such grand proportions. This is captured from the tender boat just as we had first contact. Read…

Fuji X100 tips and a Danish Space Rocket

Posted on May 27th, 2011

Having received a few requests for more information on shooting with the Fuji X100 I shall try and list my shooting tips in this post. I will however kick off with something awesomely kick-arse cool: The Danish Space Rocket Heat 1X Tycho Brahe built by Copenhagen Suborbitals. Scheduled for a new launch attempt in just a few days after having failed the first launch last year, fingers crossed this is the time the Danish privately build space rocket ventures into space. Captured with my Fuji X100, and I added the milky way as a slight texture. We are made of star stuff: Read on for Fuji X100 tips.

Fuji X100 Street Photography in Copenhagen

Posted on May 23rd, 2011

Not many cameras have created the immense hype, buzz and excitement like the Fuji X100. I had my first taste using my friend Christian Fletcher’s Fuji camera a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it. Finally a camera that feels like shooting with a rangefinder, for years and years I have been waiting for someone to produce an affordable digital rangefinder with optical viewfinder. I am now home in Copenhagen and the lucky owner of my own Fuji X100 and wish to present some of my first images and notes on using the camera. I attempted to capture a less seen side of Copenhagen.
