At the end of August Shoot It Live teamed up with Canon and went to Copenhagen to meet newspapers and to promote live publishing. The danish surprised us when describing their need to live publish photos and the various creative (but not that successful) attempts in the past.

It didn’t take too long before Ekstra bladet, which is one of Scandinavia’s leading newspapers, signed up to become the first danish Shoot It Live user. And they have recently made their first live coverage with Shoot It Live.

In true Ekstra bladet style, they kicked it off big time as they covered the world boxing champion Mikkel Kesslers fight against the American Andre Ward in a battle in the Super Six tournament straight from Las Vegas.

The photographer Thomas Sjørup managed to publish 26 images before the match suddenly stopped by the doctors as Mikkel Kessler incurred an eye injury. Among the outstanding photos you’ll find the legendary Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich cheering for his fellow countryman.
