Like always, there is only one show I wanna do A "behind the scene" on during Copenhagen Fashion Week and that is The HAN Kjøbenhavn show. The designers and creators of Han Kjøbenhavn Tim and Jannik is one of Denmark most innovating designers and the same goes for their shows. They put so much time into it and don't care about the hazzle it takes to organize such a huge show.
They always come up with something new, it's never the same and they always find a way to surprise the audience and thats why I love working with them.
Not only are they good at what they do, but they run their bussiness like no others. Besides their flag store in Copenhagen, they have a second store in NYC which is doing beyond great and they also recently just opened their third store, which is located in Paris.

If you choose to ignore my request, then let me inform you, that I
have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a
very long career of people snatching my photography. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you, who think they can just take what they want without asking for permission.
If you let me know and remember to give me credit for my work, it will be the end of it - I will not
look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you forget, I will look for
you, I will find you... and I will fucking kill you... not really, but I will fucking sue you for what's it worth.
Those are real Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs and before you go Disney crazy animal loving nut ape shit on the boys for using animals as part of the show, then let me inform you that these wolfdogs are trained to be in movies and are capable to be in surroundings more noisy than a bunch of fashion people, bloggers and whatever... so please chill the fuck out.
I'm not the typical fashion photographer, in fact I don't see myself as a fashion photographer at all.
I find my inspiration through the sneaker industry and the less "fashionable" high end brands. I'm a huge fan of street style and the unique and upcoming brands who takes chances with looks, ideas and who has great concepts. I've have through out the years been working with brands that I loved and who now have changed to a more comfortable and commerciel ways, which meant they went with new photographers(Which is cool).
I always said to myself that I rather work with companies and people who I like and who listen to the ideas that I have. Having a team behind you, who supports you in every way is fucking important.
I loved working for Naked and Asics and I am very proud of the results, the huge attention that the shoe and my campaign shots have gotten so far.
It is huge for me when things like this hit sites like Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, SneakerFreaker and etc.
All in all this has been another great experience for me and I look forward to work with great teams like I had on this shoot.
Thank you
Sincerly

Ed caught me in a very awkward moment, where I show our beautiful model Rose how I wanted her to pose... As you can see below she did a way better job than I did posing:-D
About the team and the sneaker
Copenhagen-based female sneaker store Naked, teams up with
Asics for a collaborative release of the Gel Lyte V - and the first ever
women's only Asics Tiger collaboration. The sneaker, inspired by the city of
Copenhagen, covers a range of diverse colors each representing distinctive
parts of the city. The combination of mint, coral, and rain camo signify the
unique experience of watching late night summer sunsets on the copper plated
rooftops scattered throughout the city, thus dubbing the sneaker 'Hafnia', the
Latin word for Copenhagen.
The sneaker features a black and mint nubuck upper with pops
of coral, complemented by a dark grey camo neoprene tongue. Details include
white splatter on side stripes, 3M on the heel, a transparent outsole and extra
sets of mint and coral rope laces.
The NAKED x Asics Tiger Gel-Lyte V 'Hafnia' drops August 5th for Copenhagen Fashion Week.
The first 100 customers will receive a limited shoebox from Krate&Co engraved with the 'Hafnia' emblem.
