Photoshoot with Will Kohlen

Last weekend I visited the studio of a local photographer to collaborate on a photoshoot. Will has a lot of experience in model photography and used to be a professional photographer, so he had a wealth of advice and helpful tips to give me and I had a lot of fun shooting with him.

I styled the outfits and hair myself, and tried to achieve a contrasting theme with something innocent and feminine and then gothic and mysterious. I made the choker in the gothic set myself, it was a fun little craft project and helped pull together the look I had in mind.

Thanks to Will for the great shoot, I’m really happy with how the images turned out!

Wow!
It really looks so professional and I love the two outfits!
>.<

The smoke was a great idea. Really, the first smoke picture looks like it could be part of an advertisment in some magazine.
Very elegant posing too! <3

Thank you Laura, the shoes were from a store here called ‘Betts’ I purchased them about two years ago.

Wow, awesome photos! They kind of look like the ones in editorials. I really like the second and third picture, especially the smokey effect in the gothic one. How did you do that, by the way?

Thank you! <3

The photographer actually had a smoke machine! It was fun to work with and didn’t smell bad at all.

OOh I love these! I especially like the first and last ones. Your expression seems so naturalin the first one. It really seems as if you have an old soul, and many stories to tell!

Thanks Dandelle! I went out to a play dressed like this afterwards, it was fun to try something new and see people’s reactions to it.

Well done! It’s not always easy to pose in front of a camera (but, maybe I’m just that shy). In the last picture, I keep expecting you to sprout dark, feathery wings and take off! All very pretty, though! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! It is quite a challenge, I never realised how hard modelling is before. There’s a lot of creativity and self awareness involved. Glad you like the images!
