Esslingen am Neckar • The Summer Tour

www.catleema.de

I had an awesome tour to Esslingen am Neckar in the last week of my summer vacations and finally I want to tell you something about it. Sadly I didn't get all the edited photos yet from a photographer because he has private stuff to do but I cannot wait any longer.


I had the pleasure to work with a great photographer from Esslingen am Neckar, Catherine Lee Mason. His photographs have always this interesting atmosphere - a special light if I would describe it in one word.
At first we took some analogue pictures for his project 'Statements'. Mine was "Denn diesmal ist es für immer.", that's german for This time it'll be forever. This statement is a very personal thing, a quote from my story 'Saga of the Northern Winds'.

The second day we shoot my latex catsuit from Fantastic Rubber for the first time. <3
I really love the Designs from FR, my catsuit is the 'Atlantis' design in dark blue, translucent and white.

But because it was summer that time it was really really hot in it. I was going to die and we did the photos in the evening!


After that day Cat and Noise Noire were showing me the beautiful city of Esslingen. Trust me, Esslingen is very very beautiful. So many old churches, houses and streets, 'Little Venezia' and vineyards all around whereever you look.
I'll post some photos later (Forget to put them on my MacMini. n_n").





Noise Noire and I wanted to do something in front of the camera together, too but sadly she had to work the whole time when I was there. Hopefully when I can go back to Esslingen we could make it!

Have I ever told you that I hate summer?
It's because I hate hot temperatures and I get ill every f*cking time when we have summer... -20°C? No problem. But when it comes up to 22°C please leave me alone with your summer love shit.
After my first payed job in Baden-Wurttemberg I had to go by train back to Esslingen, about 1 hour of staying in a train with 18°C inside and 34°C + outside. Yep, after that I had the biggest annoying cold ever!
I don't get it why the fuck Deutsche Bahn has the opinion that it is good for your circuit to regulate their air conditioning like that.
The last 4 days I was ill the whole time, I had headaches and sleep disorders but I made 2 shoots in that situation successfully.
But I'll never do this again because it is very exhausting.


Cat Mason, Fairytales-Art, Noise Noire and I did an awesome shoot with my catsuit and we got sooo beautiful results. :)
It was my second shoot with Fairytales, the year before we had a cool shoot, too.
Noise was our light assistant.

And here's an outtake. :)


I really hope that I can go back to Esslingen next year because I  really really want to work more with Cat Mason, Fairytales-Art and Noise Noire.

It was just awesome. <3

Portrait Workshop with LitzBlitz and Mathias Todtenhaupt

At the last May weekend I was the alternative model for a Portrait workshop. It was pretty crowded of beginners in Photography but it was very funny and the time ran really fast away. 

Because of the big flood here in Germany and the fact that I had to work really much while others had summer vacation I got the photos one day before I went to my tour to Stuttgart (Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany) and there I hadn't the time for uploading them. x'D Sorry!

At first I want to show you a result of one beginning photographer: Laura Tonon!
She is a really nice person and I found this shot was her best from the workshop:

I am not ready with the edit yet, that's why there is this watermark. :)

What do you think about this one? 

The workshop was pretty exhausting but I wanted to do some great pictures too after 1 hour of styling and 3 hours of non-stop being photographed.

This is the result from a 10 Minutes after workshop shoot with Mathias Todtenhaupt:

I really like this dynamic posing. And yes, this outfit is similiar to the one I wore for the shoot with LichtReize. ^^" I don't really have enough outfits because the lack of money. :/

My latest shoot: LichtReize

Looking forward to the next school year I think I should tell you more about my latest shoots, should I? Yes.


I was really busy the last months with school and my practical training. The practical training was fun but it stole so much freetime so I hadn't really time nor any focus on modeling.
There are only 3 big think I could talk about (and 2 of them were 'long time ago' in May - it is f*cking August now, I am just too lazy, haha). So... here I come?


The first big project I wanna tell you something about is the shoot I had with awesome Holger N., known as LichtReize (you can translate this with 'Alluring Light').

For this outfit I used my Manjoume Jun wig.

I know his photographies since I was 13 years old because I got a poster in a 'Gothic' Magazine that time and I was so fascinated that I just googled his artist's name. His photography could be one reason why I started modeling. :)

It was a great shoot with great results. And it was funny to use my Manjoume Jun wig for that outfit, haha!



I think that shoot gave me a little bit more self confidence. At first because Holger's Photos are really inspiring me and he is actually a very good photographer in demand.
Second because these photos we did together are something totally new in quality and style. And I am so happy about just the fact that he accepted my ask for a shoot. ^_^
I mean - a photographer I am following for 5 years? That's just... I cannot find any words for that!

Natural me.

This photo is very different in comparison with my 'normal' stylings because it is my natural me. And it is pretty favoured by many people.
I like it very much, too. That doesn't happen very often because I don't really like my hair (it is just too short and my natural hair colour looks boring but I let it grow since january '13) and so on.
Some photographers have the opinion that I am hiding myself with the costumes, make-up and wigs but that's not true.
I am a storyteller (that's why I am writing fanfictions since I finished elementary school) and just being 'myself' isn't creative enough for me.
My 'trade mark' as a model is my changeableness and I think I am really good at it.

For this shoot I used the first time this silvery white wig. I got it from a cosplayer at Animexx and I am very happy with it. The wig has a very good quality and has enough volume and colour, so it looks very natural. Sadly the fringe of this wig is unmanageable so this wig is going on my nerves when I am wearing it more than one hour. <_<

Aaaaaaaa~nd the last set of the shoot. *o* It is inspired by Yoko Littner from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann but it doesn't look that good as I wanted it. The latex lingerie is from my favourite latex brand Westward Bound. If latex clothing wouldn't be so expensive I really would shoot more of this totally awesome rubber fashion. >_<



Soooo... what are your opinions about this work? Tell me!

The Big Photoshoot in Cologne!

The english translation will be following soon!

Irgendwie schreibe ich immer nur nachts Blogeinträge... liegt wohl vielleicht daran, dass meine Inspiration wohl zu dieser Tageszeit einfach seine größte Entfaltungsmöglichkeit hat. xD

Nunja, es wird langsam echt überfällig, also hier der Bericht vom Shooting in Köln. :)


Es war meine allererste Zusammenarbeit mit DIEGANDI Studios und Candy Crimson und ich bin echt froh über die gute Zusammenarbeit. :)

Die Hinfahrt war recht entspannend. Es ging für mich um 9:39 in Wunstorf los und mit ein paar Minuten Verspätung war ich gegen 13 Uhr in Köln. Ich liebe ICEs einfach. ♥
Zwar ist es nicht die billigste Variante gewesen, aber 5 Minuten Umsteigezeit waren mir doch zu knapp und die DB ist ja nun nicht gerade für ihre Pünktlichkeit bekannt.... <.<
Ich wurde von Albana abgeholt - eine echt super nette, durchgedrehte coole Frau die ich echt gern wieder sehen mag sobald es mich wieder dort hin verschlägt. :)
Leider habe ich kein Foto mit ihr. v.v
Vor Ort waren auch eine weitere Visagistin und Misha-chan, ein anderes super sympathisches Model das extra aus den Niederlanden nach Köln kam. :)

Making Off. :)

Die liebe Candy Crimson war also meine Visa. Sie hat ein paar Making-Off-Bilder gemacht, welche ihr rechts sehen könnt. ^-^
Sie hat echt Talent und auch wenn beim Make-Up leider nicht alles geklappt hat (die Augenbrauen waren etwas schief aufgemalt, was aber im Endeffekt nicht gestört hat) und ich bin total geflasht von ihren Make-Up-Künsten. Schaut doch mal bei ihr vorbei!

Sie weiß wirklich wie sie mit meinem Gesicht umzugehen hat. :)
Ich werde definitiv weiter mit ihr zusammen arbeiten sobald sich die Möglichkeit ergibt. Eventuell auch mit ihr als Model. Mal sehen was sich so ergibt. ^^


Dann kommen wir mal zu den Ergebnissen. :D

Bei diesem Bild handelt es sich lustigerweise um ein Outtake, da ich aus dem Lichtfeld getreten bin. Dennoch hatte es von der Atmosphäre echt Stil weshalb man es doch genommen hat. :)

Eines meiner beiden Lieblinge. :)

Das Shooting war übrigens auch für Promotion des Perückendesigners Robert Hart mit seinem Label Cyberhair gedacht. Mein erster Flyer, yay. *-*

Weitere Bilder folgen demnächst. :)

April

On the way to LBM '13 as Miku Hatsune Synchronicity.

... wird voll mit Arbeit, jedoch nicht mit Fotoshootings. Um genau zu sein, mein Terminplaner lässt diesen Monat wirklich kein einziges Shooting zu und das vorletzter Woche musste ich wegen meiner Erkältung absagen. :/

... is totally full with work, but I don't speak about photo shoots. This month I wouldn't really have the time for that because I have to do many things for school and so on. And sadly I had cancelled my last shoot because I was sick. :/


Dennoch, kreativ wird es diesen Monat trotzdem. :)
Erstens wegen der Realisierung unseres Modenschauprojektes in der Schule und zweitens übe ich sehr viel in Sachen Make-Up.

But, this month would be creative! At first because of our fashion show project at school and second because I am practicing on my make-up skills. 

Aoki Lapis. <3

Ja, ich habe wieder aufgemalte Augenbrauen und ich liebe sie. :D

Yes, I do have drawn own eyebrows again and I love them so much. <3

If you have instagram feel free to follow me: njordvind. :)

Some 'everyday' look maybe...

It would be really nice if you can give me some feedback. :0 


Konstruktive Kritik ist gern gesehen.

So, das war's dann auch erst mal. Bis zum nächsten Mal. ^_^
