Have been wanting to take some photos in the bathtub for the longest time! It was kinda hard to get the light right because the light in our bathroom is pretty dim but I think I still created something interesting! And on the other hand its actually also just something to pass the time... I'm really starting to get stir crazy and can't wait to start working and moving again... My first shoot will be on the 26th! With the photographer @ernstbernardus (👈 instagram) were going to go in the outdoors, which I'm really looking forward to 😊🌳 Oh and for anyone interested, I used some food coloring pigment to get the water like that. I think I could've used a bit less, to have the water a bit more see through, but it still worked out fine... Let me know what you think 😊

Did a bit of an alien kind of makeup today. Often doing face paintings is something that comes about from boredom for me... And also theres a shot I took in the mirror after I finished it cause the light was so nice and i felt like it :)

Another set of self-portraits. Self portraits really have been very therapeutic and enriching in my life and I feel a lot of creative passion for it. I recently bought a new camera quite spontaneously and this was the first time I got to use it. I am absolutely delighted with it! :) For anyone curious I am now using an Olympus OM-D E5 ii with a 14-150 lens. I can easily connect it to my phone, so I can actually see on my phone what the camera is capturing :) Lately I have been feeling very critical of the art I am creating and theres moments where I feel theres something missing, especially when I am behind the camera photographing other people. It feels at times that I am reaching and searching for something, but I don't quite know what it is and I am unable to grasp it... This set however... it hits the right spot! I find I got a lot of images I really love from this and that theres meaning to them somehow... They make me feel something. I also had a few different Objectives when creating this. In the beginning (where I did the 'shapes') I was just flowing but then I had a desire to play with angles, which made me really look at myself, at the things that I sometimes don't find beautiful about myself and things I could actively love more... so then it turned somewhat into a quest of showing the realness of me. How my stomach makes rolls and how the skin texture is different on my bum and all these little things were always told not to have and not to be... I want to show (especially to women) that we all have these things and that they can be so beautiful... I recently photographed a woman with a rather voluptuous body type and I really enjoyed it! But she is quite insecure about certain things of her body and has trouble seeing how her wonderfully curved body could be anything of beauty. And it made me really sad... Because I saw so very much beauty in her... To be honest I am not entirely sure where I am going with this... This text already has gotten much longer than anticipated. I guess what I am trying to say is that we all can create more space in our lives to actively love ourselves. Because I have found very strongly that loving yourself inspires others to love themselves too, and how beautiful would the world be if we all were aware of the ever abundant love within ourselves...?

This self portrait session was a matter of only a few minutes. I saw the light hitting the grass outside in our garden. And there were these long rays of light that only occur during sunset and my first instinct was that I HAD to take some photographs with that. So I rushed to get my camera and tripod and also to get my clothes off. And then creating happened in an absolute daze, I feel I was rushing to get that light, that was moving away so quickly and not a lot of thought went into the poses, it was just me moving frantically and pressing the shutter every time I thought something might be interesting. In reality I could barely even see what was happening on the screen. But man… it was so FREEING; just rolling around in the grass, naked and free with the setting sun on my body… I think it was absolutely perfect and I really enjoyed myself. And I also thought this would be a very fitting first post for this new platform! To set an example of what I am aspiring towards... In my art, as well as my life! To be FREE and to CREATE, outside and with nature. So yeah... Welcome <3 I can not wait to go on this journey with you! :)
