BORDERLINE PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT

About a month ago i was given the assignment to do a photo series around the subject "borderline". So I chose to cover prostitution, which clearly is borderline in my opinion. With the help of my little sister I wanted to recreate the daily routine and setting of a prostitute and translate the atmosphere of the red-light-district into my photographs. 
With these photos I want to make the viewers think about prostitution and its full legalization (in my country at least). In my opinion, there shouldn't be prostitution at all, because although there are many women who do it by choice, there are still a lot of girls who are being forced to enter this industry. Those girls will live through a serious number of physical and mental damages, which can never be cured. 

 





These are four of my photo series. Some of the photos were a little bit revealing with cliché pose and stuff, this is why my sister forced me to delete them.

I just noticed that this is my 100th post on this blog.

TO BE INSPIRED

These are three drawings I did at drawing class in school. Do you recognize the face in the third drawing? Yeah, it's me gazing into space.


Right now I'm at home scribbling things for my art portfolio, which has to be done by mid february. My head feels blank, I got no inspiration at all (I know it says "always inspired" in my profile box, I lied). And also I have been trying to develop my own style of drawing. I failed until now. 
BUT I'm positive, because I heard that it needs time to figure it out and it won't happen overnight. And often other people are the first to see it, because it's always hard for a person to look at his or her own drawings/paintings in an objective way. So my goal for the time until february is to discover my own style and not growing desperate on the way finding it.

AKWARD


I turned twenty-one last friday. I had a blast with my friends and I realized how great my girls are. I just love hanging out with them and I feel like they make me a better person and they give me the best influence ever. 
On saturday I went to the city with my sister, I wanted her to take photos of my outfit, but I felt really akward, because there were people hanging around in the vicinity.

WARMTH

it's gearing towards christmas time (the thought of christmas just instantly makes me
feel happy). The weather is very chilly these days, not as cold as I thought (thank god), but I'm happy to wear my knits and head accessoires these days. I never thought that I would be a hat person someday, but lately I feel like an outfit isn't complete without a hat.

What I'm most looking forward at christmas time are the pretty lights and the smell of fresh baked cookies. I just love everything out of the oven. The thought of it just makes my mouth water.

MODE UP CLOSE

so i helped out at our countries biggest fashion event the last few days. I worked as a volunteer, which meant standing around, smiling and helping models to get in their clothes. in my case, i had to help the guests find their seats. I was very looking forward to this event. but after the first two days my enthusiasm shrank with each passing hour. The people who worked there, no matter what position they had, they all felt like yelling us around like bimbos. We came there by ourselves and didn't even get paid for it. Yes, we were bimbos in a way, because we didn't have much to say, but when i was standing in the hall and helping the people with the seats i got snubbed at the same time, that was the point when i realized how super stuck up and rude all these people are. I understand that they are all under pressure, trying to make this event a success, but this is not the way how you should treat people.

I'm not saying that it wasn't a great event at all. Apart from that I really enjoyed helping out, seeing interesting people and watching the models walk down the runway up close. I like helping out, and I have enjoyed it the last few times when I did.

Anyway, the good thing about the event was, that I got to see Charlotte Ronson's spring 2013 collection. There were some pieces that I really loved. For example the grafic prints on the shorts and tees and the cropped shirts. I like the sporty and the sexy twist of the outfits.

 


This was a slightly more personal blog post. But I felt like writing it, and I feel like I have to write about more personal stuff, because I always like reading more personal things about other people.

PLASTIC PANTS

This is a photo I took a month ago, when the weather was still warm enough to walk around town without jacket. I wore my tightest black pants, my boyfriends likes to call them plastic pants. He hates em. 
At the moment I'm busy with shoolwork and figuring out what I wanna do next summer. I really have to start thinking about my future and my education, which scares the hell out of me.
