Shooting Time with "Ungewöhnlicht"

Headpiece: Carolin von Montgomery

Hello my Sweets!

Here is another "photshoot" special for ye: featuring the amazing photographer Laura from Ungewöhnlicht & a fantastic headpiece by Carolin von Montgomery.

It was pure coincidence that I got to shoot this awesome headpiece series for Carolin with her! They had all their models sorted but I was so intrigued that I wrote her a message anyway, telling her how much I would love to support this series. Luckily for me, one of the models seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth and so I filled in for her the next day. Laura and I had an amazing day and became really good friends instantly. She is one of those people you just love from the beginning: we share a lot of interests and found ourselves chatting our ears off that day :D

And how fate seems to give us a little nudge from time to time, I got to work with her again just a few days later, when a make up artist she had organized vanished too :D I got to do make up on an absolutely gorgeous model (photos will be up this month) and got to know some really amazing peeps! I am forever grateful for this opportunity and all the wonderful people I have met through this "casual" conversation on facebook!

Also, I am forever in love with these absolutely beautiful headpieces Caro designes & makes! She is not only an amazing designer but a great model too! I adore her photos and love how versatile she can be! She is a true stunner! Please go and like both of these girlies up on facebook!

Hey Ho Leute!

Heute präsentiere ich euch die ersten Ergebnisse meines Shootings mit Laura Ungewöhnlicht für Carolin von Montgomery's Headpiece Reihe :)

Es war ein totaler Zufall, das ich mit Laura shooten konnte und deshalb freu ich mich umso mehr! Eigentlich hatten Laura und Caro schon alle Models und Visas ausgesucht, aber ich war so begeistert von der Idee, dass ich Laura trotzdem anschrieb um mich vorzustellen (am Abend vor unserem Shoot). Zu meinem Glück, schien eins von den geplanten Models sich jedoch einfach nicht zu melden und so beschloss Laura kurzer Hand, dass ich einspringen werde! Laura und ich hatten einen wundervollen Tag; haben viel gelacht, ununterbrochen gequasselt und uns einfach auf Anhieb verstanden! Sie ist ein absolut wunderbarer Mensch und ich bin sehr froh sie in meinem Leben zu haben!

Das war auch nicht das einzige Mal, denn ein paar Tage später ist eine Visa für ein weiteres Shooting abgesprungen, und dieses Mal bin ich als Make Up Artist eingesprungen (Fotos hierzu sind diesen Monat da). Ich hatte ein umwerfendes Model zur "Verfügung" und habe ausserdem ein paar wundervolle neue Leute kennengelernt! Ich bin sehr dankbar für diese Chance, da sie mir nicht nur beruflich viel Wert ist, sondern ich ein paar wundervolle Freundschaften schließen durfte!

Zudem bin ich absolut hin und weg von Caros faszinierenden Headpieces! Sie macht so einzigartige Stücke die alle einfach traumhaft sind! Zudem modelt Caro selber auch ganz fleißig! Checkt ihre und Lauras Seite bei facebook aus und lasst ihnen einen fetten Like da!

"Why the Pig?!"

So Guys,

the question "what is with the pig?!" has risen quite a lot over the last while, so I'm gonna get right down to it and introduce you to my lovely companion: Piggy 'Macbeth'!

My whole obsession with pigs started in 2011 when I was studying Art and Design (Printmaking) in Galway, Ireland. I was working on my degree show project and a lot of my research involved feminism and female sexuality. I researched these topics a lot and kept finding articles from feminists saying things like "women are being exploited by social media and are objectifying themselves" ... And yes, I can understand! The porn industry is making it hard for women to establish themselves and so on... But shouldn't women still be able to live out their sexuality wihtout fear of a feminist running after them telling them to put clothes on? Are women NOT allowed to be "pigs" and enjoy themselves to the fullest?!

My idea was that most women enjoy sex, life and just want to have fun.They should not be afraid to be themselves. With everything, one can take it overboard and ruin a reputation within a split second, but that is not every woman. Confidence is sexy --> and if you are confident with yourself, your body and your attitude, and act responsibly, then by all means GO FOR IT! Life is fun, for God's sake!

So as the project went on, I found the idea of  the pig really intriguing. Not only was it meant to be a jokey subject that tackled feminists, but it was meant to give women the courage to act as they see fit for themselves. So, about half way into the project I strolled into a butchers and came out with a vacuum packed pig's head. I named him Hamlet and he lived in my small fridge for about a week. I used him to take a series of photographs, which I later used in my art pints. And that is when the love was born...

Obviously, I couldn't keep Hamlet forever (he did turn quite smelly after about 6 days) so a little while later I found Macbeth; a rubber piggy that has stayed with me since. When I started doing make up, I was fed up of all the "oh so beautiful" boring make up posts and wanted to give my blog a little twist. So here he is, haha! I guess it's needless to say I'm quite a pig fanatic at this stage... I WILL own a micro pig at some stage in my life, and my collection of piggy artefacts will probably never end...... Oh well!

Yours truly & Piggy 'Macbeth'

xoxo

Hello my lovelies!

I know I've been super behind on the blog lately but I was also super busy preparing some awesome new things for ye! April has been a really exciting month for me so far! From many awesome photoshoots, to meeting amazing new people and getting a superb job offer... I really can't complain about how fantastic my life is at the moment!

These awesome pics are from a shoot I did with Sven from "Sven Wagenfeld Photographie" last weekend. Sven and I 'met' through facebook and started chatting about shooting together some time in march. We had fun conversations about tattoos, life and cool clothing, until an idea about a streetstyle shoot came up! So I grabbed a bag full of clothes, my boyfriend to assist, and off we went to shoot some really awesome stuff!

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Es tut mir furchtbar Leid, dass der Blog die letze Zeit so vernachlässigt wurde (bei facebook und Instagram findet ihr öfter was) aber zu meiner Verteidigung war ich auch super beschäftigt um euch tolle neue Projekte zu zeigen! Der April war generell ein wundervoller Monat für mich: von tollen Shootings, zu wunderbaren neuen Freundschaften bis hin zu einem tollen Jobangebot, war wirklich alles dabei! Ich bin unheimlich dankbar und stolz auf diese tollen Ereignisse!

Hier habt ihr also ein paar Shots von meinem Shooting mit Sven von Sven Wagenfeld Photografie vom letzten Wochenende! Sven und ich haben uns über facebook "kennengelernt" und uns auf Anhieb verstanden. Bevor das Shooting überhaupt richtig stand, unterhielten wir uns über Tattoos, das Leben und generellen Quatsch, bis wir uns dann endlich zu einem Tag entschieden an dem gerockt werden sollte. Also packte ich eine Tasche voller Klamotten, meinen Freund, der fleißig assistieren sollte und los ging es mit dem Shoot!

Ich wollte euch mit diesen Fotos natürlich auch "Homeward Clothing" ans Herz legen! Ich trage sowohl Shirts als auch Accessoires von Ihnen, die ihr alle hier findet: http://www.homeward-clothing.com/.
