one of my most recent shootings together with the model Nika and a new make-up artist in town, Hatoe. Hatoe stepped in on short notice and did a wonderful job. This time we got another wonderful model on set: The black and beautiful Ibanez SA guitar which was a burner.. together with Nika. The initial idea was to go for another monochrome line with smokey eyes, nude lips and light-edges…

We tried to produce more emotional images. The idea worked out well since Nika is such a cute person to work with. But see some of the results by clicking below:
