A black and white fashion story for a change. Colours always have inspired me, they are my guideline when I make decisions regarding the shot I would take. Yes, there is an official colour version of this fashion campaign for Pixie Won’t Play. When the colours are taken away, emotions and mood speak the most. Thank you, Dārta, for your love to the black and white photography.

Beautiful musician Aija Vītoliņa for Santa magazine. Aija had just came back from a bike trip and I was preparing for a one (in my case no bikes involved) so a road trip mood was in the air.

A selfish project which actually is not so selfish because it is all about collaboration. Gabija Bīriņa is a dancer and choreographer. Her personality, face and the way she moves inspired me to work on photographs that would help me visualize emotions and notions that interested me.
Big thanks to Ivanda Šmite for hair&make-up and Pixie Won’t Play for the amazing garments!
Actually very bright colours were the main inspiration for this photoshoot but in the end this mood felt just right. This project of fashion portraits took some time to publish it.
There are stargazer lilies that I came across when looking at words linked to star observation. Stars, a star like flower and the face of Gundega were a match for me.

Jauna, spēcīga pieredze – White workshop. Pasaulē workšopu vadīšana fotogrāfu vidū ir diezgan modē, bet negaidīju, ka tik drīz pašai sanāks to darīt. Nāca Miks Šēls un “pagrūda” pareizajā virzienā. Vēl lieku stāstu kopā, bet milzīgs paldies par to, ka tas notika. Izrādās, ka varu šādi multitāskot – likt fotografējamo kadru, fotografēt un stāstīt, kā un kāpēc to daru, smieties un lēkāt 🙂
White lieliskā komanda: Miks Šēls, Liene Pētersone, Ģirts Raģelis, Inta Lankovska, Ainārs Mazjānis, Kaspars Breidaks, Aija Ūdentiņa
