Lisa x Desires

I met Lisa through some friends and right away I knew she would be a great model. This was her first shoot. I also got in touch with Desires a super cool Danish brand who provided us the outfits.

 

I fell in love with the photos the second I took them, so it's been hard enough not to post them until now. 

This morning I got the email, saying the photos have been published, so I can finally share them with you guys! 

So first here are the photos, below you can see how they appeared in the magazine, the concept and the team. 

 

 

Concept: 

 

This shoot was inspired by a poem written by a teenager. I had a really hard time when I was a teenager and after 15 years I still have painful memories from that time period. When I read this poem, I felt like I was back in that time period again. I wanted to illustrate the poem and the never ending struggle, restless spirit inside a teenager. 

So full of deceit,

My life's a contradiction.

One day it's reality,

The next one it's fiction.

I'm lost without reason

Because I made it so

To increase the complexity 

And force myself to grow.

I'm so full of life today,

But tomorrow it dies.

I'm so full of optimism,

But a pessimist cries.

The two extremes of who I am

Are what I hate to be.

I’m so scared to waste it,

Then scared to run free.

Can I live it day by day,

Or do I even dare.

I'm so full of wonder now,

But tomorrow I won't care.
