That time When I...
photographed a Slug Funeral & Rebirth for Jasmin Wottke
Last week I thought that sharing photographs on here, like I do over on instagram, is redundant and boring. But I think not all posts need to be full of information and my opinion.
So, I decided to share these images with you that I took over the weekend for fashion designer Jasmin Wottke. Like me, she has a thing for slugs. And in collaboration with glass studio Kitsch Kiosk, she made these beautiful glass slugs.
I’ve been wanting to take these for a while and had planned to shop for flowers (best props) on Wednesday as a reward for finishing an article for a technical publication. But I was busy with doing preparations for another shooting happening this week, so I spend the whole weekend in my studio, walking back and forth between my set-up back and my desk. I also finally bought a tether cable to fully immerse myself into the studio experience, but I did not manage to stick with it yet. I like to be able to be very close to my camera (yes, as close as you can get without your eyes getting hurt).
When I visited Jasmin in her studio after Easter, I brought the slugs home with me and made them come to life in my studio. It is so much fun to see how this turned out, because I actually noticed again: less is more.
I hope you enjoyed looking at these photographs and have a beautiful Monday first week of March !
