Update Fashion Shooting

Der Casting Aufruf für das Fashion Projekt im Juli ist vorbei!
Danke für eure zahlreichen Bewerbungen!

Morgen werden die Desigerin und ich uns zusammensetzen und eine erste Vorauswahl treffen, wen wir gerne zum Fitting einladen.
Die genauen Infos dazu und was euch so erwartet, bekommt ihr dann per PN über die jeweiligen Modelseiten oder per Mail!

Danach treffen wir uns mit einer Acc. Designerin in Linz. Es gibt also noch viel zu tun :-)

Wonderful!!

I did a little shopping on friday. I haven't done this for ages... ok it feels just like I haven't done this for ages ;-)
I bought me new shoes (I loooove them, I have to get all the other colours, the first kinda-high-hells that I can walk with), then a lovely shirt from H&M, a wonderful Make-Up box with looots of colours, a lovely perfume (smells sooo gorgeous) and finally the The Lady Gaga CD (love it).

Children-Shooting on saturday was cancelled, it's rescheduled for friday.

What else.... oh well yeah, my photography class started on monday.
I love love love it - it feels so good to be there and it's the best class I've ever joined. The teacher is brilliant. He explains everything so well and easy to understand. Ok, honestly everything we learned till now, I already knew, but I tought it myself, so have to admit I understand everything even more better now. I can explain it better.
I don't know if this makes any sense to you.... lol

I'll be doing a portrait shooting tomorrow. First time I'll be doing the make-up myself. My lovely friend Manuela is usally doing this, but I really have to learn that myself. I mean I can do my make-up but it's always different when you're doing it for or on someone else.

So my calender for the next weeks is rather full.... school, shootings, working on my portfolio, project organisations, creating two books.... *sigh* oh how I love it :-)

Wishing you all a wonderful week.

First Beauty Shooting +Making Of

Did my first beauty shooting today and it was also my first shooting in my new studio. It went really well, I am very satisfied with the results. Tanja is an actrice and hobby-model. Make-up was done by Manuela (elabella.at). Here are a few Making Of pictures:

And here are the first results:

Neue Location

Ich hoffe, man kann es erkennen - hatte leider nicht das passende Objektiv oben. Hier sieht man einen Teil eines Waldes. Der Boden ist durch und durch mit weißen und lila Blumen bedeckt - einfach ein Traum!

Wer also Interesse an Portraits hatte, sollte sich schnell melden - wer weiß, wie lange die Pracht erhalten bleibt!

Having a cold...

This week I had a really big cold. I felt weak all day long. Horrible!
My stomach isn't hurting, but I also don't have the need to eat. I'm getting green when I'm thinking about eating... don't know why.
So my meal for the day is soup and a few fruits. That's all... since 3 days or so.
This "feeling sick" is now since a week or so... hope it's gonna get better - NOW! not tomorrow or any day soon - NOW!

I'm finishing the concepts for a few photo shootings - one is my first big fashion shoot. I can't wait to meet the designer to do some creative "brain storming".
And I have so many other shoots to do.... kids, beauty, "nightmare" project, etc.

Ya, that's all for the moment. Need to drink... I'm feeling thirsty all day long...

A home for the boat

That's the new home for my Daddy's boat! It's so beautiful there. Yeah, you can't see it very clear here, but it really is and I'm so excited and happy about it. Maybe it's gonna be there in April, so be sure - I'll be doing a shooting there. I love that place. So peaceful and my Dad said everyone is really friendly there.

Haven't blogged for a long time - but so much is happening! I'm part of FM5 - the online magazine. Really great girls and boys there. I'm posting the links as soon as something is published that is written by me (or that is showing my photos).

Then I got so many request for photo shootings. I think April is half full already. It's wonderful!

I've also taken a mental training class last weekend. I really enjoyed it and learned much. It would be too much to retell but I learned that it's important to make my dreams clear, to watch every detail and beware of it.

Last Friday was such a beautiful day. Here are a few picture of the walk I took with my boy: (Taken with cellphone cam)



And here is the latest view on my home studio: (Also taken with cellphone cam)


Hope you all had a great week!
Love,
Melanie xxx
