Cover Girl Kseniya Arhangelova 

(Poland) 

Can you tell us a little about you? My name is Kseniya, what means “wanderer”, 

“stranger”. Also, it’s one of the epithets of Aphrodite – the goddess of love. This name 

really suits me. I travel since my childhood. I was born in Buryatia (it’s in Asia in Siberia 

near Lake Baikal). After I lived in different countries. Now I have my studies in Poland. I 

take part in shootings as stylist, muah, model, photographer and quite often as artdirector. 

What means that I can do everything what has attitude to photography (and 

video too). In the past, I often visited Moscow and worked as an actress there. After I 

had a break and now I'm coming back. The most recent acting work - swiss commercial 

and swiss music video in which I took part a week ago + participation in 2 polish tv 

series. 

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? Nothing. Each person 

is the whole universe with its own world inside. For what to change it? 

How did you start modeling? I guess it was in 2007 or 2008. I was on the subway. One 

man looked at me several stations, then came up to me and gave his business card 

with words “You’re so bright!”. When I came back home, I checked the information 

about him and found out that it was a popular Belarusian photographer. I had some 

shootings with him. After I met many photographers. My portfolio was growing very 

fast and model agencies started to offer me different jobs. I had to cancel some model 

contracts in Japan, Thailand and India, because…I’m afraid of flights…But I’d like to visit 

Japan, for example. 

What do you think of the work as a model? I can tell that it’s not an easy job. I 

remember days when I had non-stop shootings and didn’t have enough time for a rest. 

I felt very exhausted and didn’t know how and where to find some power for the next 

shooting. I give so much energy when I work as a model. I don’t feel so tired when I do 

shootings as a photographer. It’s boring for me to be just a model and do what people 

tell me to do. I prefer to go out from a “comfortable zone” and let imagination to bring 

some creativity. I like to discuss concepts with photographers/directors. I feel more 

comfortable when I take part in creation of any idea :) 

What is your beauty regimen? Hm…beauty regimen? I like to do yoga in my bed in the 

morning :D Btw., I went into sport professionally in my teenager times. I just can give a 

good advice for all girls who want to keep their body in a good shape: swimming pool, 

swimming pool and one more time swimming pool. And, of course, take care what you 

eat: no spicy and sault food, less sweets and…good mood :)

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? I’m a multitasking person: people joke 

that I needn’t anyone to do a shooting – only me and a camera :) 

What are your plans for the future? I just moved to Poland. Everything is new for me there. I’d like to stay in 

photography world + continue my journalist job (I studied journalism in Vilnius). Also, I’d like to visit my birth 

place. It’s very far but Buryatia is very beautiful and can bring so much inspiration! 

What are some of your favorite experiences so far? I receive so much life experience through my trips - meet 

many people, visit interesting places, come into different situations. I can’t stop travelling from 2007. For me it’s 

hard to stay at any place over 2 months. It’s my own type of “drugs” ;) However, if to talk about a model 

experience, I can notice underwater fashion shooting which took place in Germany with David Benz and very 

nice and professional team. David taught me how to breathe under the water. Because of this I was able to make 

good posing. 

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modeling? Keep in mind that everything isn’t so beautiful 

and easy like you see on pictures. You must be ready for hard work. You can be not approved for many castings. 

So, just be realistic but don’t forget who you are and don’t let other people to behave with you like you’re a 

machine. 

What do you think of the magazine? I like the magazine. It lets new talents introduce themselves and show 

their works to the world :)

Valerie Vercruysse 

(Belgium) 

Stel jezelf een kort voor aan onze lezers. Ik ben Valerie, 

30 jaar en woon samen met mijn partner in Roeselare, 

België. 

Hoe en wanneer ben je begonnen met fotografie? Ik 

ben al van kinds af aan zeer visueel ingesteld. Ik had 

vaak ideeën en rare spinsels in mijn hoofd maar had 

geen manier om die in iets om te zetten. Voor fotografie 

hield ik me graag bezig met mijn eigen kledij te maken, 

juwelen maken, mode in het algemeen eigenlijk... Het 

starten met fotografie speelde vaak door mijn hoofd. 

Toen ik in mijn vorige job als vastgoedmakelaar het eerst 

een dslr camera gebruikte was ik verkocht. Ik keek tot 

laat in de nacht naar youtube filmpjes om de technische 

kant onder de knie te krijgen. Toen besliste ik om de 3 

jarige beroepsopleiding fotografie te volgen. Momenteel 

volg ik mijn derde jaar en is mijn interesse het sterkst in 

fashionfotografie. 

Josephine van heule - mua Pauline Vanheule 

Khongorzul 

mua Fanny Bibaer 

Wat is je juiste doel? Mijn doel is om verder te groeien 

in fotografie zowel op creatief vlak, technisch vlak als 

commercieel vlak. 

Wat betekent fotografie voor jou? Fotografie is voor mij 

vooral een medium om mijn ideeën te visualiseren. 

Waarin vind je dat jouw werk zich van anderen 

onderscheid? Ik probeer steeds vernieuwend te zijn en 

mijn eigen stijl te behouden. 

Waar haal je inspiratie vandaan? OVERAL. Soms heb ik 

gewoon te veel ideeën en wordt ik zenuwachtig omdat 

ik gewoon geen tijd heb om alles uit te werken! Ik ben 

gek op pinterest maar haal evengoed ideeën uit de 

kleurenkaartjes van de doe het zelfzaak. Ik kan me soms 

een uur bezig houden met het kijken naar alle 

kleurtestkaartjes bij de afdeling verf. 

- 20 -

Bedenk je van te voren wat je op de foto wilt 

hebben? Ja, ik heb sowieso een overvloed aan 

ideeën en bedenk van te voren sowieso een 

moodboard uit. Toch moet je altijd het moment 

afwachten want vaak wijk je toch af van je 

oorspronkelijke idee en bekom je een ander 

resultaat dan je in gedachten had. Maar anders is 

zeker niet slechter, integendeel. Ik vind het ook 

belangrijk dat de shoot matched met de 

persoonlijkheid van het model. Werk ik met een 

nieuw model dan hou ik zeker ruimte om op de 

shoot zelf te improviseren. Ik hou ervan om samen 

te werken in team: model, muah, styliste,... 

Chanel Desmedt - mua Pauline Vanheule 

Bewerk je je foto’s en wat doe je eraan? Ik 

fotografeer steeds in RAW dus sowieso dienen mijn 

foto's minimaal via bewerkingsprogramma 

nabewerkt te worden. Ik gebruik hoofdzakelijk 

photoshop. Ik doe aan skinretouching maar niet op 

de manier dat je een plastichuid bekomt. Altijd heel 

subtiel! Belichting en belichtingseffecten doe ik 

steeds bij opname en niet bij nabewerking. Zelf ben 

ik niet zo'n fan van kleurenfilters. 

Naar waar gaat je voorkeur, Locatie of studio? 

Beiden eigenlijk. Na een volledige winter in studio te 

werken ben ik wel blij om terug op locatie te kunnen 

shooten. Studiowerk met enkel een witte of zwarte 

achtergrond boeit me minder. Ik hou er van om altijd 

dat ietsje meer te doen qua styling en decoratie. 

Wat voor locaties of onderwerpen spreken je het 

meest aan? Ik vind het leuk om wat op het eerste 

zicht een banale locatie lijkt vanuit een standpunt te 

fotograferen dat het heel uniek in beeld brengt. Dus 

de realiteit vanuit een ander standpunt te bekijken 

en er iets creatiefs mee te doen. 

Wat of waar wil je absoluut nog eens een keer 

fotogra-feren? Een fashionshoot in NewYork lijkt me 

wel leuk :) 

Josephine van Heule - mua Pauline Vanheule 

Wat is het belangrijkste wat je de afgelopen jaren 

geleerd hebt? Om jezelf te laten inspireren door 

anderen maar wel steeds je eigenheid te behouden.

Kannst du uns ein wenig über dich selbst erzählen? Ich bin Johanna , bin 25 Jahre alt 

und wohne in Berlin. Ich komme ursprünglich aus einem kleinen Dorf namens 

Westerkappeln wo modeln gar kein Thema ist. Nach meinem Abi bin ich dann nach 

vorerst nach Köln gezogen , ein Jahr später nach Berlin. In Berlin habe ich Osteopathie 

studiert und nebenbei immer als Model gearbeitet. Mittlerweile arbeite ich 

hauptberuflich als Model, muss aber betonen, dass es mir sehr wichtig ist noch etwas in 

der Tasche zu haben...denn das Modeln hat leider ein Verfallsdatum. 

Wie bist zu zum Modeln gekommen? Ich wurde im Fitnessstudio angesprochen und 

hatte kurze Zeit später meinen ersten Job in Paris. 

Was denkst du über die Arbeit als Model? Sie ist sehr viel härter als manche sich 

vorstellen. Der Körper ist dein Kapital, das heißt du musst jeden Tag etwas dafür tun, 

sprich Fitness und gesunde Ernährung gehören zu der Tagesordnung. Des Weiteren 

musst du dich oft selbst um Fotoshootings kümmern (TFPs) um immer aktuelles 

Bildmaterial zu haben. Ein weiteres hartes Kriterium ist der ständige Vergleich mit 

anderen Models. Für manche kann das sehr belastend sein. 

Was sind deine persönlichen Eigenschaften, die dich von anderen unterscheiden? 

Ich denke, dass ich etwas sportlicher aussehe als manch andere Models und immer, egal 

ob bei Castings oder Jobs, gut gelaunt bin. 

Was sind deine Pläne für die Zukunft? Im Januar würde ich gerne mehr reisen, unter 

anderem evt nach Kapstadt, New York, Miami..ansonsten lasse ich alles auf mich zukommen. 

Was sind bisher deine schönsten Erfahrungen? Die schönste Erfahrung war bisher die 

Fashionweek in Paris dieses Jahr. Die Stimmung dort ist einfach eine ganz andere als wie 

man sie auf der Berliner Fashionweek kennt. 

Ansonsten hatte ich sehr viele schöne Jobs, bei denen ich viele tolle Menschen 

kennengelernt habe. 

Hast du einen Rat für diejenigen, die gerne anfangen würden zu Modeln? Macht euch 

klar dass Modeljobs nicht vom Himmel fallen und es unglaublich viele tolle Models gibt. 

Seid vorsichtig bei sogenannten *Hobbyfotografen, schaut euch vorher deren Seite an 

oder sprecht mit anderen Models welche Erfahrungen sie gemacht haben. Sucht euch 

eine seriöse Agentur bspw. Louisa Models, Seeds, Pma, Modelwerk usw. und meldet 

euch nicht bei Agenturen an bei denen ihr etwas zahlen müsst. Ansonsten seid 

diszipliniert und ehrgeizig :)

The picture has 

to have the 

WOW effect 

- 44 - 

Tell us something about yourself. My name is Rene, 

I’m 32 years old, come from and live in Austria. I am 

married to my wife Birgit. Travelling and listening to 

music is what I love to do. Basically doing what I 

love is what I do. 

How and when did you get into photography? It’s a 

funny story: 5 years ago a friend of mine asked me if 

I would like to join him to go on holiday with him. 

Because of this I bought myself my first camera, 

because I wanted to take better photos than I did 

before with my smartphone. Of course at that point 

I had no idea about light, shutterspeed, iso,.. That’s 

why I then looked on Youtube videos which told me 

how to use a camera and so I found some bloggers.. 

from that point I was hypnotized. 

What does photography mean to you? 

Photography has changed my life. Now I suddenly 

see the world completely different, more open and 

beautiful as before. Since then I’ve been travelling 

more and I’ve been more in nature. Because of the 

photography I have met more new and nice people. 

Before that I was someone whe drove in his car 

form A to B. I am really greatful for that. Thank you 

to everybody I’ve been able to work with in the past 

and was able to get to know. 

Please briefly describe your photography style for 

our readers. WOW this is going to be difficult. 

Specially in the last few years my style has really 

changed. Saying it differently: I think my photography 

style has actually only been developed last 

year. 

I love lifestyle and fashion photography paired 

with a tick of streetstyle. I’m more and more 

focused on the picture look. I like big con-trasts, 

twisted colours, but also I’m a huge fan of a strong 

black white. 

In one sentence: the picture has to have the WOW 

effect when I look at it in camera It has to be said 

at this point, that this is only possible if you work 

with a brilliant team. That’s how I see it. 80% 

photography / 20% photoshop 

Where do you get inspiration from? I think like 

everyone, from colleagues and from the internet. 

I’m nobody who can reinvent the wheel. If I see 

some cool pictures, I take it as a mood and change 

it into my photography style. What I also love are 

spontaneous freestyle street sessions with models. 

Just to start a session without plan or pressure 

brings mostly many good pictures.

DanielaReisinger make up by Alexandra Pfandler 

Miguel Costa 


Think you in advance what you want in the 

picture? Most of the time I have the „basic“ 

structure in my mind (except the freestyle 

sessions like I’ve said before –smile-). I don’t get 

fixed on the idea in my head, I rather adjust my 

idea to the model, location, weather and 

improvise if it has to be. 

Studio, on location or both? I prefer on 

location and outdoor. I do also like working in 

my studio, but there it’s more likely that I try 

out new techniques of lightshaping. 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid 

professional? I do earn my money through photography, 

but It would say that these words would 

describe me best: a creative scatterbrain who lives 

in his own world –laugh-. 

What has been your most memorable session and 

why? I’ve experienced so many memorable sessions 

over the last few years, so I can’t only name one. 

But for sure, one of the coolest memorable session 

was the shooting trip to London just a few weeks 

ago ( Big thanks to the whole team that joined me). 

Miguel Costa 

- 46 -

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work? I always 

look for photographers that have a really distinctive style which I like. At 

the moment I like to enter into the topic colour looks. Movies are a 

brilliant source for colour looks. In the last couple of years the color 

grading has also been very popular in movies and so a great source. In the 

black-white photography for me it’s obvious: Peter Lindbergh. 

This man has made it. With his own style he as been popular for decades 

and still is. That is always my biggest inspiration. Doesn’t matter which 

branche. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Previously Nikon. Now Sony. It’s because 

Sony offers me with it’s mirrorless system new possibilities as normal DSLR 

do. I mostly use the objective 35mm F1.4 and 85mm 

F1.4 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photograp-her 

looking to start their own business? 

Of course everyone needs a mentor from whom you can learn. It was the 

same with me and still is, but you should learn to transform it into your 

own style. Choose your own path, stay true to yourself and do what you 

love. 

What do you think of our new magazine? Thanks to a model my pictures 

have already been printed in your magazine and thats how I got to know it. 

I like that it’s young, nicely written and that it has style. It’s fresh. 

Especially because you always print young artists. I really like that. Big 

THANK YOU from me that I’m allowed to be a part of this.

I work with modeling for 8 years now, I spend mostly my

food. I am interested in health and alternative medicine. 

I love to create new recipes and inspire people to feel 

they best. 

If you could change anything about yourself, what 

would it be? lol … I would like be to more brave in the 

water.. I am so afraid of deep waters.. 

How did you start modeling? I was lucky.. I had a easy 

start. A scouter found me online and contacted me. I was 

flying to Asia for my first contract a month after that. I 

was so excited for the new experiences .. I am all about 

experiences. 

What do you think of the work as a model? I find it 

incredible. I have the opportunity to work with artistic 

people and professionals that I admire. Every job I meet 

new people, new places. My network is always growing. 

Travels , Travels… hahah yes I love to travel.. keep me

Photographer Ania Kosik (Poland) 

Tell us something about yourself. I am a person who appreciates the 

beauty surrounding us. I graduated the Academy of Fine Arts and at this 

moment I live in Poland. There is not a day that I do not think about 

photography. I am also graphics designer and illustrator. 

How and when did you get into photography? I started taking pictures 

for real, ten years ago, when I got my first amateur digital SLR camera. At 

first I fall in love with photomanipulations but as a fourteen years old girl 

I didn’t realised that these aren’t ordinary photos. The first camera I ever 

used was the most common, family compact on film, but from the 

beginning I was drawn to people and fashion, so it remains today. 

What does photography mean to you? I always say that photography is 

my oxygen. I had worse and better times, even nearly a year's break 

when I didn’t shoot at all in 2016. I thought this was the end of this 

beautiful adventure. I have had many unpleasant and difficult moments 

with which I couldn’t cope and practically surrendered. But there was 

always some magical thread pulling me to the camera. There is not a day 

that I do not look at the world in terms of pictures or do not take one 

shot though smartphone. I do not see another occupation on earth for 

me. 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. I worked 

out my style and I do not try to copy anyone. I appreciate women's 

beauty and I love fashion, really any type of clothes. My favorite photo 

shoots are those made on the beach. I am a big fan of swimwear and 

underwear, so those pictures are my most favorite. As I mentioned 

before, I appreciate every type of beauty in women and I love making 

portraits in every style. I am a typical outdoor photographer, using the 

light and the sun to create something amazing. 

Where do you get inspiration from? Basically from everything. Starting 

from the place I see through the window of the car, through clothes, 

ending with pictures, paintings on the internet or art gallery. Before the 

session I like to see pictures of other photographers who inspire me. I do 

not want to copy them, I want to be as good as them and to create just 

as beautiful pictures that delight me so much. I have a special folder on 

my computer for such occasions. 

Winner of the month 

- 66 -

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? I am not very analytical mind, I acted under the 

influence of the moment. I often accuse myself of thinking that some things may be better to think about, 

focus more on a photo session but that's what I am. I take a moment like it is, I do not set the model as a 

millimeter. I like to write down on paper all the stylizations, exactly with what makeup, hairstyle and 

accessories they should go. I can plan the time very well but it's because I'm a quick photographer and I 

like to work fast. 

Studio, on location or both? If I have the opportunity, I would like to arrange a photo session outside, 

daylight and sun provide many opportunities and I love to work with them and create magic. For the 

winter I make photos practically only in the studio. Every place is good and in any location I want to get as 

much as I can. 



professional? Surely it's not just a hobby, but I've had 

almost a year's break, so I'm rebuilding my contacts, my 

portfolio, so everything goes in the right direction again. 

What has been your most memorable session and why? 

It would be sesson from 2008, when I took my mate to a 

spontaneous photo in white flowers. This photo has 

made such a fury on the net that surpassed my wildest 

expectations. Since then, my career has developed at a 

great pace. 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your 

work? Before a session I like to browse pictures of my 

favorite photographers, it turns me into action, I want to 

be as good as they are. I’m also inspired by the female 

body, at every session I try to pay tribute to their 

direction. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? I am currently working 

on Nikon and the Sony mirrorless camera. My favorite 

lens on which I usually work is 50mm 1.8. I often take 

pictures with an analog camera, I like Zenit 12xp and 

have a lot of sentiment because it belonged to my dad 

before.

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a 

new photographer looking to start their own business? 

First of all, you need a lot of practice. I know that 

equipment is not the cheapest, but if you think about 

taking photos seriously, then you have to be aware that 

with the time of amateur or half professional digital SLRs 

will not suffice you. I started to take pictures of my 

colleagues and it were great photo shooting lessons. And 

never ever try to copy other photographers. Be yourself, 

be artists who will be the model for others. 

What do you think of our new magazine? I think it's 

great! I'm very happy that you wanted to interview with 

me and show my work among so many talented people. I 

am very pleased. I keep my fingers crossed for you and I 

will keep a close eye on you for sure!

Photographer Thomas Lui 

(Italy) 

Tell us something about yourself 

I'm Thomas, a photographer from Milano, known under the name of ReflexStudio. I've been shooting since I 

was very young of age and from 7 years until now I've managed to turn it into a pro-fes-sion. Or better likely : 

I'm trying to make it become a profes-sion. I'm attracted by everything "person" related, and I'm strongly 

attracted towards every-thing concerning personal rela-tionships. 

How and when did you get into photography? 

I've effectivly entered the world of photography in 2010. But as I said before, I started taking pictures since I 

was really young. I started at the age of 4 with a polaroid. In my house. I've learned alone how to change the 

film paper. And since then I've never stopped. Why did I enter the world of photography? 

It would be a lie if I said: because I have a message to send out to theworld. No, it's simply because I like to 

shoot pictures. I like the magic that is created and the possibility to redesign with light. As I always say: I 

started taking pictures because I can't draw. So I decided to let go the pencil and take a camera instead. Have 

I done the right choice?

For me, photography is my way to see things. I see 

them behind a curved glass and I like how these sometimes 

look transfigured or sometimes comple-tely 

different from reality. Photography is a form of 

"therapy", where properly used, is able to show 

people how they truly are. And that in reality they are 

far more than what they just see, it's just one of the 

many facets that they have and that they show. 

Please briefly describe your photography style . 

I'm a portraitist. Portrait photography is the kind that 

mostly fascinates me and convinces me to work hard 

to obtain results. In portrait photography, it's mainly 

me and the subject of the portrait. In my kind of 

photo-graphy I try to be as minimalist as possible. I 

deconstruct in order to reach the essence. For me the 

the funda-mental thing is to capture the person. Even 

better if without any kind of addition. Neutral background.One 

light, or natural light, and we try to reach 

the essence of the person. Can I? Almost never. I try. 

Always. 

Where do you get inspiration from? 

From everything. I look up to the great masters of the 

past or I let myself be inspired by the moment. For 

sure, source of great inspiration has been one of my 

masters Alfredo Sabbatini. Without him, I wouldn't 

have been able to see anything in the right manner 

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? 

If it's a previously studied session,absolutely yes. But 

much depends from the moment and the person I'm 

portraying. If I have a customer I try to stay as much as 

possible in his requests. If free to act, I let myself be 

guided by improvisation. 

Studio, on location or both? 

Both.Depending on the kind of project I have to 

create. I have no personal preference. Studio, 

location or even externals. 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a 

paid professional? I'm a professional 

What has been your most memorable session 

and why? 

Descrbing just one wouldn't be right, it wouldn't 

be respectful towards all the people who had 

been helping me out in this period. I'll name 

some of them. Some for the marvellous results, 

other for the particularity of the project and 

other because of the emotions that originated in 

my person. And I chose to insert them in the 

following pictures. For example, a portrait I did of 

Beatrice in ambient light, that just by looking at 

it, even now, makes me remember exactly what I 

felt in that moment. It has been of great help. 

Greatly. And I'm gratefull till the end, because 

without that little dowel, maybe everything 

would have fallen. Paradoxically it has been like 

the arc vault.Not yet seen, but yet memorable, 

has been the session with Giulia, with her 

makeup done by Fiorella Scatena [my dearest 

friend and artist whom I truly I respect for her 

innate talent and class], dressed with a red cloth 

that we walked around the most popular squares 

of Milano, to create some pictures that at the 

moment are still "hidden", because..like good 

wine, the're waiting to come out. There's the 

skull painted by Carola (once again on Giulia), a 

beautiful gift.The power and fury of the sea, 

recreated on a person, with just the mere use of 

colour. Majestic has been the realization, precious 

interpretation,and magic is the sensation 

and emotion I felt that day, and that I still feel 

now every time I look at it. There's EVERY 

shooting with Miele. A unique emotion, every 

time. Having to work with her is like handling a 

volcano. She is the one who gives, I recognize her 

as The Artist of nude. Watching her 

pose is pure magic and poetry.

Giorgia Soleri

Giada, with her sweetness and elegance, always transmits a lot of heat and passion. She's never 

vulgar, never trivial, never predictable and I like to work with her because she's one who has 

done research on a personal still spot. She's never limitated herself by being just aesthetically 

beautiful.It gives me great emotion to think back and re-watch each shot where my main 

collaborators have partecipated, (now no longer just collaborators, but much more) at their 

makeup station. A succesion of colors and brush strokes that carries each one of them, the soul 

of whom, in that moment was holding the brush and painting. They hold the names of Carola 

Fasce, Fiorella Scatena, Eleonora Pellegrini and Sara Bergaglio. They gave me something more, I 

just had to take it with full hands. So thank you. Really. If I didn't mention the pictures taken with 

Tanya it would be a crime! With her I've always had a wonderful relationship. We always push 

ourselves beyond, and we're always able to create really gorgeous shots, with nothing at hand. 

We really do for eachother. And in the end, I feel the need to remind when Make-up artist and 

model, had by request collimated in the same person. And here by remembering it now, Carola 

filled with emotion and embarassment, with her reddress, laying down on the chair of one of the 

most famous theatres of the world [and so, with also the awareness that it wouldn't be possible 

to use it again, but I must say, that it has never been used so well before!], gives me the same 

emotions of that time. Exceptional location. Perfect make up. Model, well...I actually just made a 

click. 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work? 

The person. I want to study it and understand it. To be able to go on beyond the mask and see 

what hides behind the behavior of each one of us. Digging and digging. It's never easy, but it is 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work? 

1The person. I want to study it and understand it. To be able to go on beyond the mask and see 

what hides behind the behavior of each one of us. Digging and digging. It's never easy, but it is 

really wonderful. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? 

Canon. But just because it was the body machine of a Canon to choose me. I've had in hand 

about everything. Even Hasselblad, but there's nothing like having a Canon. And as lens a 50 mm. 

I love to blur while shooting with a fully open diaphragm. 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their 

own business? 

Don't give up in front of the first adversity. Continue and persevere. Try to not be a slave of light, 

but turn it into your means of writing. Study and be always on the move. Shoot every day. Never 

stop. You have to keep your finger warm as long as possible. Most of all: look at your pictures 

with objectivity. There is nothing perfect. And there is nothing that has not been yet pictured. It's 

up to us to simply try to picture it in a new, different and original way.

Model Jessika Dias (Belgium) 

Can you tell us a little about you? I’m Jessika Dias Chaveiro, born in Brazil and now living in 

Antwerp, Belgium. I’m a passionate Zouk dancer, model ,blogger and I also work in an 

airline as a flight attendant. Appreciating and enjoying every given day. 

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? I would be less chaotic, 

my Brazilian habit of doing everything amanhã (tomorrow) gets me in a lot of troubles 

haha. 

How did you start modeling? I started modeling when I came to Belgium, I did my first 

shoots through the website modellennet at that time. After that I was able to build up a 

portfolio and I met incredible people in those years. 

What do you think of the work as a model? Like they said: If you love what you do then 

you will never have to work. 

What is your beauty regimen? For me first : a beauty regimen starts with being happy 

inside and after that : anything can be fixed! Enough sleep and drinking water is definitely a 

must! Because of all the make-up for my daily lifestyle and work I’m having a difficult skin 

and: Clinique anti-blemish solutions is helping me a lot,cleaning and hydrating my skin. 

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? I’m a warm person 

who has a lot of love to give, I love being surrounded by people and make unique moments 

happen. I’m very passionate about the things I do in my life and for that and for being 

where I am today with my family I’m very thankful. 

And a thankful heart is a happy heart. 

What are some of your favorite experiences so far? For me every working experience with 

modeling has been unique. Most of the time I have been meeting incredible people. But I 

can say my most recent photoshoot on sunny Ibiza was very special ; we went there with a 

nice team and together we did some outstanding work. This is for sure one of my favorite 

photoshoot experiences. 

What are your plans for the future? My plans are to develop my passions and to become a 

successful and inspiring woman working with what I love most : fashion! 

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modeling? First: love yourself and 

don’t limit yourself to what people say or want you to be. You are the one who defines 

your own limits!

Photographer Harald Fischerlehner 

(Austria) 

- 106 -

Tell us something about yourself. My name is Harald Fischerlehner, I’m 

working as a technical engineer, aged 47 & based in Upper Austria - 

beside of photography I love my family, friends & like travelling. 

model: Lucinda Snegurotschka 

mua: Daniela Gemeinhart 

How and when did you get into photography? After university I went to 

Australia & Thailand for some months with my Minolta SLR and since 

these days the camera is part of my life. 

What does photography mean to you? Happyness! Being balanced, 

creating something together with the model & the makeup artist. Most 

of all I love it when I can recreate a model to something new - and the 

model is not just statisfied but positively surprised 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. Good 

question! To be honest very often I’m dissatisfied & doubtful about my 

pictures & the style therefore I can hardly nail my style of work. But 

during all the years I recognize that less technique and much more 

connection to the model is a key to my pictures nowadays. To keep the 

human as it is & let the people go during the shoot is a prior target to 

me. 

Where do you get inspiration from? Actually in these days a huge 

storage of inspiration is on click away - therefore I often check portals 

like 500px, Youtube, Pinterest and my favs on Instagram & Facebook. 

Nevertheless I like the oldstyle way to leaf through Magazines and see 

how others do. Sometimes it’s just the location, the model or just a good 

day that brings me instantaneous to a new idea on site. I also do inteact 

a lot with colleagues to get their feedback & learn from the critics. 

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? Yes! Some pictures 

combined with Makeup and location are more or less done before the 

shoot even has started, but I don’t follow precisely a “masterplan” - the 

mood and flow of the people, the light, the location - everything should 

come together best - or sometimes I also skip a picture when I see that it 

doesn’t work that day. 

Studio, on location or both? 

Both, but the technique nowadays (ISO possibilities and good lenses) 

allows so much on location that I hardly hit the Studio - this changed 

within the years, too. So the answer should be mostly on location. 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? 

Hobbyist, working in a professional way.

model / mu&h: Patricia Gebauer 

What has been your most memorable session and why? 

Tough choice... to be honest I can’t select a single one... to 

get faith from people that they slip into different roles and 

let themselves go - these are memorable moments in 

almost every shooting. 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your 

work? As mentioned above there is such a huge source 

nowadays in front of us so I wouldn’t limit it to a single 

source. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Non of both big players - 

since last year Sony A7R2; I mostly work with prime lenses 

24, 35, 50 & 85mm; Favourite lens is I think the 35mm / 

1,4 Art from Sigma. 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new 

photographer looking to start their own business? Take 

care that you have just some orders a month and are not 

booked every day or even week, check your fix rates a 

month, don’t invest (too) much in euqipment - make a 

business plan what you need to earn to live a life and not 

thinking of debts. Be friendly and polite to the customers & 

communicate with them - before, during and after the 

shooting. You wanna get booked again - work for that. 

What do you think of our new magazine? It’s a great 

possibility to give people a chance to show what they can 

do. The mixture from countries, models, photographers 

and makeup artists makes a very colorful rainbow how 

photography grows and looks like. I’m really proud to be 

picked out and that I can show some work of me. All the 

best to the Modellenland team & Thank you very much for 

choosing me Peter!

Model Paulina Zaczkiewicz (Poland) 

Can you tell us a little about you? My name is Paulina 

Zaczkiewicz and I live near Wroclaw, in southern 

Poland. I am an economist and photo model. I love 

being in constant motion, travelling, meeting people 

and dancing. Zumba is in addition to modelling my 

greatest passion. Although at first I seem to be a quiet 

person, it is only an impression . People who know me 

well, know that I am totally crazy girl. 


would it be? I am happy being who I am, I feel good 

with myself like never before in my life. Of course, it 

would be great, for example, to be a little higher, but 

it's not so important. However, I would like to be 

more immune, not to experience everything so 

intensely, especially these difficult moments. I'm 

definitely too sensitive. 

How did you start modeling? My adventure with 

modelling has started quite recently and accidentally. 

It was about two years ago when after a serious car 

accident when I broke my spine, I was looking for my 

new passion. At this time my old friend from primary 

school, who is a photographer, came to my town and 

told me: “come on, I will take you some pictures”. And 

he did. Then he persuaded me to create the model 

account on the internet and that's how it star-ted. 

After that other photographers started to invite me to 

the sessions, I was looking through thousands of 

pictures, looking for ideas and inspirations. 

What do you think of the work as a model? Working 

as a model is a very hard job. It requires great dedication, 

availability, a lot of sacrifices and strong personality. 

It is also a kind of work that gives a lot of joy 

and opportunities. I love to travel, meet interesting 

new people. It's a great feeling when you meet strangers, 

photographers, but you have a passion that 

connects you. It's nice when after the session we still 

keep in touch.

What are your plans for the future? Unfortunately life 

has taught me not to plan too much, because then 

nothing comes out of it. Therefore now I try to enjoy 

every single day. Of course I think about the future, I 

plan more sessions, but I try to keep my eyes and my 

mind open for new opportunities which sometimes 

come so unexpected. You can go some-where, meet 

someone and there's a new chance you could not have 

planned before. My dream and plan was pole dancing 

but now after the accident it will be never possible so 

I’ve just started hip hop trainings. 

fot. Foly Sasha mua. Aleksandra Kozowicz 

What is your beauty regimen? I belong to the 

group of lucky people that I do not have to do too 

much to keep myself in shape. I do not eat 

sweets because I do not like them, but I love the 

spicy pizza. I like to move a lot. Often after a hard 

week I think myself: at the end of the weekend, 

I'll rest and do nothing. And then Saturday comes 

the first thought is what to do here, where to go, 

with whom to meet. Besides, I like dancing, 

swim-ming, cycling, but I have little time for it. 

That’s why the most important for me is to sleep 

well, it’s the best for good humor and good 

look. 

What are your personal qualities which 

distinguish you from others? Modelling is my 

passion, I do it because I love it and put all my 

heart into it. I am a very ambitious person, and 

whenever I do something, even for pleasure, I 

want to be the best. Each session I treat separately 

and I am well prepared for it, from concept, 

stylization and all other details. I can work 

in different weather conditions. I had sessions 

barefoot in the snow, nude in the center of the 

city when it was only 5 degrees Celsius or on hot, 

sunny days. I don’t grumble, I just concentrate to 

achieve such effect that we want. 

What are some of your favourite experiences so far? 

My favourite experiences are definitely connected with 

travels. Sailing and swimming in the sea in Croatia, trip 

to England to language school or journey by bus to my 

friend in Seville. I was only 17 years old, completely 

alone and 44 hours on the road. I have also many 

unforgettable experiences from foreign waterparks. I 

love such attractions when you have to overcome your 

fear and you have a lot of adrenaline and fun. Every 

photo session is also amazing experience and very 

often these short moments in our life are more 

important than huge events. 

Do you have any advice for those who want to start 

modeling? If you really want to do it, try. If you feel 

good about it, do not give up after failure and criticism. 

Nowhere, nothing comes by itself, so work hard and 

patiently. Don’t compare to others, ever-yone is 

different and unique. You have to know your body and 

strengths , stand in front of the mirror and train facial 

expression, different poses etc. It is really helpful. 

What do you think of the magazine? I think it’s a highlevel 

magazine, showing the achievements of people 

from all over the world. The idea of presen-ting 

photographers or models with their history and effects 

of their works is really interesting and inspiring. I’m 

glad to be among all these people.

Photographer Miguel Barbosa (Portugal) 

Tell us something about yourself. My name is Miguel, I’m 44 years old and I’m from 

Porto, Portugal. I work in an office from 8 to 5, but I’m also a fashion photographer 

and recently I’ve created a modeling agency, called Allure Model Management. 

How and when did you get into photography? Although photography has been in my 

life forever, and I have always taken thousands of pictures on different occasions, even 

when there was still only analog photography, the truth is that it was only a few years 

ago that I dedicated myself, so to speak, to a more professional way, trying to figure 

out what style of photography I was in. 

What does photography mean to you? Photography means everything to me. It is to 

eternalize a moment, to send a message, to convey feelings. Each photo is a world of 

emotions to discover, a fusion of ideas. In photography there are no language barriers. 

Each image is a unique moment that stays forever, a unique vision of the photographer 

in relation to that moment, in which he reflects his soul. 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. Without any doubt 

that the type of photography that fills me most is fashion photography. I have tried 

landscape photography, portrait, boudoir, events, children and newborns, but the 

fashion is undoubtedly the one with which I feel more connected. Maybe because I've 

been on fashion industry since I was 18 and it's already ingrained in me. Being a 

fashion photographer is entering a world of beauty, trends and glamour with countless 

options. Fashion and photography are two arts that together can be an explosion 

of creativity and a true visual delirium. 

Where do you get inspiration from? It is not an easy answer to give. Of course I do 

research, I see innumerable fashion editorials, catalogs, fashion magazines, etc. and of 

course this also becomes a source of inspiration for my work as a photographer, but 

that is what everyone does. Everything that surrounds us and everything that shaped 

us to be what we are today is a source of inspiration. The same person with a different 

education, another family, living in another city, would have a totally different 

inspiration. That's why I think my source of inspiration is everything around me the 

moment I shoot. The people, the environment, the clothes, the team, the weather is 

all I absorb to inspire myself. 

Studio, on location or both? Without any doubt on location. It is where I feel most 

comfortable and where I can give wings to creativity, working with the light and the 

colors that surround me, together with the clothes, accessories and models.

Agency: Allure Model Management 


Think you in advance what you want in the picture? I 

do not think too much in advance. I can have a 

general idea of what I want from the set, but I am a 

person who lives the moment very much. I like to 

analyze the conditions in the place, what ir has to give 

me and what I can get out of it. We live in a culture 

that values rationality, thought, order, to the 

detriment of emotion, intuition, and has difficulty 

dealing with the chaotic nature of things. I am the 

opposite; I live the emotion of the moment with all 

that it gives me. That's what I try to show in every 

picture. 


professional? At this moment I feel neither one nor 

the other. I feel like I'm between them. It is not a 

hobby because I already have some responsibility in 

produc-tions for some national designers, but I 

cannot consider myself a paid professional, because I 

do not feel like a professional yet. I'm still walking 

there, and I have a lot to learn until I get there. But no 

doubt that is my wish, and every day I try to learn 

something new to get me closer to the goal. 


why? That's when I photographed the fashion 

editorial Morphoge-nesis for Beatriz Bettencourt, a 

Portuguese designer, a regular presence in one of 

the biggest national fashion events, Portugal 

Fashion. That was when I felt I could go further in 

fashion photography, that with the right people 

next to me, my work could be better and more 

valued. That was when I realized that fashion 

photography was what I wanted to do and that was 

what defined me as a photographer. 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer 

a new photographer looking to start? Never give 

up their dreams. It’s not easy. You will find many 

obstacles along the way and people with bad 

intentions. But you should never give up what you 

love. You should look for what satisfies you most in 

the picture and follow the heart. That's the most 

important. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Canon for sure and 

my 70-200, f2.8 lens.

Models: Ana Catarina and Carolina Araujo 

Agency: Allure Model Management

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in 

your work? The family, without doubt, in the first 

place. My wife and daughter are my support in 

everything I do. If I am able to do what I do, I 

undoubtedly owe them, who support me and who, 

often, also guide me and help me deal with difficulties 

on a day to day basis. Another source of important 

inspiration is undoubtedly the friends, the true 

ones, who are always present. I am a person in love 

with the human being and I am lucky because I live 

surrounded by wonderful human beings in the day 

to day. And they are the ones who count and inspire 

me every day. 

What do you think of our new magazine? I have 

been following Modellenland for a long time now 

and it is undoubtedly a source of inspiration. I like it 

very much because it allows us to have very 

different visions of photographic works that at first 

sight could even be similar. This allows me to 

broaden horizons and have other perspectives of 

things. Sometimes a very small detail makes all the 

difference in a photo. That inspires me. 

About the agency 

Allure Model Management is an agency created 

with the aim of dignifying the activities of the 

models in Portugal, preparing them for the job 

market in the world of Fashion and Advertising. 

It is a dynamic project, created by professionals in

Model Vinette Schulze 

(Africa) 

Can you tell us a little about yourself? Hi there! I’m 

Vinette, V for short. I’m a 21 year old farm girl from 

South Africa with a love for adventure and all things 

creative. 


would it be? In an industry that chases perfection, it is 

easy to criticise yourself. I like to believe that even 

though there is always space for improvement, our 

flaws make us unique and should be embraced. But to 

be honest, I could do with fewer blonde moments, I 

tend to get a bit clumsy at times haha... 

How did you start modeling? I was a shy, introverted 

12 year old when my mom decided to enroll me into a 

modeling school to boost my confidence. From there I 

was scouted at a modeling competition and got signed 

to an agency in Cape Town. 

What do you think of the work as a model? Although 

it has many perks, like traveling to different countries, 

it is not always as glamorous as it is perceived. As with 

most careers, it requires hard work, determination 

and a lot of patience. 

What is your beauty regimen? What you put into 

your body is what you get out. I follow a plant-based 

vegan diet, which helps to keep my skin and hair 

healthy. As for exercise, I like to mix it up and try new 

ways of staying active. 

What are your plans for the future? Currently I’m 

looking for a new challenge, but traveling and 

experiencing new countries has always been my 

dream. On a more serious note, I would love to get 

involved with projects that help to make the world a 

better place. 

What are some of your favorite experiences 

so far? My favorite experiences have been 

during my solo travels. It wasn't always easy, 

but it was an important part of my personal 

growth. Life is one big adventure and every 

day is a new opportunity to experience life 

fully. 

Do you have any advice for those who want 

to start modeling? Don’t take compliments 

to your head or opinions to your heart. 

Be confident with who you are and what you 

have to offer. Persevere and never give up.

Photographer Roland Okoń (Poland) 

Tell us something about yourself. My name is Roland Okoń 

from Wrocław, Poland. I have been professionally involved 

in photography for eleven years. Previously, I worked as a 

graphic artist and musician. 

How and when did you get into photography? I realised 

quite early on that in order to be happy in life – to be 

satisfied, to some degree – I had to be involved in some 

profession which gave me the opportunity to express 

myself creatively. It’s what gives me the greatest satisfaction. 

When I was working as a graphic designer, it hit me 

that I couldn’t spend the rest of my life staring at a 

computer screen – that’s when I began to think of finding 

some more fulfilling occupation. 

What does photography mean to you? For me, photography 

is a purely aesthetic experience. Specifically, I’m 

referring to the type of photography I pursue. 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our 

readers. In my photography, I seek (the) perfect composition 

and proportions. Although my photographs remain 

within the category of what can be called “classic” photography, 

I try to find interesting perspectives and strong 

tonal contrasts, wrapped in rich texture. My goal is to leave 

the viewer with a sense of hidden secret, provoking 

questions and stimulating the imagination… hopefully. 

Naturally, the main theme of my work is human beings, 

woman, the beauty of the human body. 

Where do you get inspiration from? When I pick up my 

camera, I turn into a different person, my personality 

changes – it’s like I flip a switch and turn off the rest of the 

world. I work automatically – almost in a trance – 

searching. I would say the process is like the state of mind 

you get into when listening to your favourite music. 

Do you think in advance what you want in the photograph 

Sometimes ...it’s an initial starting point. But ultimately, I 

usually end up with something completely different than 

what I first envisioned. It’s a natural process for me. One 

I’ve come to accept. 

Magdalena Skowronska 

Studio, on location or both? I live in Poland, so 

in summer – location, in the winter – studio. 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a 

paid professional? It’s how I make my living, so 

I would have to say professional. 

What has been your most memorable session 

and why? I’m usually focused on the last photo 

shoot I‘ve done, but looking back, I would have 

to say my most vivid memory is of a shoot I did 

in the Canary Islands, the surrounding scenery 

was simply breath-taking – and I admit, I was 

secretly very pleased with the final outcome. 

- 168 -

Ilona Witkowska 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration 

in your work? My greatest source of 

inspiration is getting to know my subject – 

the conversation throughout the photoshoot. 

the opportunity to glimpse the soul of a 

fellow human being through the lens of the 

camera. The hidden energy is what I require 

to do my best work. It’s what gets me up in 

the morning; that and coffee. 

Nikon or Canon? Favourite lens? Canon 5D Mark III, 35mm, 50mm 


photographer looking to start their own business? You have to work 

longer hours and better than your competition. But don’t be afraid to 

make mistakes. 

What do you think of our new magazine? I have to say it’s a brilliant idea for promoting 

genuine, good photography. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to appear on its pages. 

Thank you!

range of pure, powerful vegetable and fruit acids, 

as well as cutting edge medical ingredients from 

all over the world. EmerginC products are 

paraben-free, and free from artificial colors and 

fragrances, and they try to use as many natural 

ingredients. In addition, they do not test on 

animals and use no animal ingredients. And, in 

their continuing commitment to the environment, 

the packageing are printed on Forest

EmerginC is always looking for the latest scientific 

breakthroughs to ensure that they combat the 

visible signs of skin aging and other skin 

problems as well as possible to go and offering 

products and facial treatments with unmatched 

results after just a single treatment. The products 

are quite pricey, but that's to be expected of 

vegan products. Often the production costs are 

higher because they have to meet all kinds of 

quality demands, even more than those of the 

regular cosmetics, partly because this is an open 

niche in the cosmetics segment and customers 

are still not known with vegan cosmetics. 

This cleanser costs 36 dollar.

Photographer Dominika Dąbkowska (Poland) 

Tell us something about yourself. My name is Dominika and I'm 22. People connected with photography says 

that I'm self-sufficient because I'm a photographer, model and retoucher. 

How and when did you get into photography? I am interested in photo-graphy since a couple of years but 

from about a year I took it for real and this is the thing I am in most, 

What does photography mean to you? First of all, this is my passion. I love to capture moments, beautiful 

moments.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. It is hard to describe style. I like tight frames 

and models with unusual beauty. 

Where do you get inspiration from? Before sessions I often look for inspirations on the Internet or from my 

favourite photographers. I have an idea and I look for something similar.Sometimes I see something on the 

web and inspiration comes just like that. 

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? If I am taking shots with a model, most important thing 

is her look. How she acts. In my opinion very important is if a model can feel free in front of a camera. 

Studio, on location or both? Definately studio, but it doesn't mean I don't 

like shooting on location. In studio it is hard to take special shot, with more 

climate, and this is challenging for me. Location can be unpredictable but 

you have the opportunity to take an extraordinary picture. 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? Rather a 

hobbyist because there is a long way ahead of me to become a pro. 

What has been your most memorable session and why? I cannot choose 

one. There was better sessions and worse but I hope that this most 

memorable will come and not only one. 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work? People. 

Especially when both sides, photographer and model are happy with the 

effects of the session. This gives me a kick to move on. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Canon, because I am a fan of its colours. I 

always recognize a shot that was taken by a Canon. 

And a lens? I think its 50mm f/1.8. Despite the fact that is a standard len, 

you can take good pivtures with it. Especially portraits. 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer 

looking to start their own business? Do not pay attention to your gear. It is 

not said that if you have better camera, you'll take better pics. Listen to 

your intuition and practise a lot. Experiment. 

What do you think of our new magazine? For me it's great. Photographers 

from different countries with different points of view. Your magazine is also 

a fantastic place to gain inspiration.

Can you tell us a little about you? As I wrote before my name is 

Dominika and I'm 22. People connected with photography says that I'm 

self-sufficient because I'm a photographer, model and retoucher. 

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? If I 

could, I would change my height. I am a small person so I lost some 

opportunities because of it. 

How did you start modeling? It was a coincidence. I made a slef 

portrait and ona photographer asked me if I know this model. Then we 

started to collaborate. 

What do you think of the work as a model? For me working with 

photographers to improve your own portfolio is more interesting than 

comercial sessions and walking on a catwalk. 

What is your beauty regimen? I eat helathy food and excercise but it 

doesnt mean that I refuse myself any other pleasures. 

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? 

I am very communicative and hard working person. I think I adjust to 

circumstances during session. 

What are your plans for the future? My plan is to progress all the time 

and work with better photographers, not only from Poland. This is my 

dream and goal. 

What are some of your favorite experiences so far? Definately posing 

on workshops with other models and photographers. You can learn a 

lot and know other points of view. I've gained experience on events 

like this so I think that thanks to them I've made a progress which as i 

said before is very important to me. 

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modeling? They 

need to ask themselves a question if they can handle it and if it is the 

thing that they want to do. I also want to wish them luck because for 

me it is a key. 

What do you think of the magazine? I think that this magazine is very 

good for models to promote them and also for photographers to find 

new faces. Of course it is an honour for me to be here because I think 

that you put here only interesting content.

Antonella Cunsolo 

(Italy) 

Winner of the month 

Tell us something about yourself. 

I am a 43-year-old woman who loves 

Photography and Art in all its forms. 

Above all I am a Psychologist than a photograper, 

but Photography is now part of me 

and used well has also a great therapeutic 

power. I photograph for myself first and 

foremost and I love to teach others 

everything I know. 

How and when did you get into photography? 

I started looking my father. After 

my graduation in Psychology achieved in 

Rome, I began to study Photography: first 

with a professional course, at the end of 

which I obtained the title of Photographer, 

then other courses and workshops across 

Italy and also with international masters. 

Since 5 years I have been teaching 

photography in the association I am 

President of, founded in Catania (Sicily) in 

2012, after many years of experience in 

training. 

I hold courses throughout Italy for all levels 

and ages of Portrait, Landscape, Street and 

Infrared.

Please briefly describe your photography style for 

our readers. I am a lover of beauty and elegance and 

of photographic technique. But the most important 

thing I want in my photos is the soul of those who I 

portray or the emotions that the scene convey to 

me. Without this, photography does not communicate 

anything important. My strong emotionality and 

the study of psychology have always helped me 

through this. 

Where do you get inspiration from? Inspiration 

comes at any time from what I have inside, from the 

people I meet or who I love, from something I look 

or read. In a nutshell, from all that gives me an 

emotion. 

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? 

Yes, I always think first what I want from an image. 

I try not to leave anything to chance. Every photo has 

to talk and express something, tell a story, excite 

emotions; otherwise it is not a good photo. 


Photography for me is indispensable. 

It is the best way to express who I am and my 

emotions. I can not help it and it is im-portant for 

me to convey to others every-thing I know. At the 

same time I am the first who never ends up 

studying and experimenting. 

Studio, on location or both? I take photos both in 

studio and outdoors or in different settings. 

However, I always prefer natural light. 


professional? It's started as a passion and it still is 

a passion, but it's becoming more and more a 

work. 


why? Surely the one set in 18th century held in a 

historic building of the time, taking care of the 

minimal details of dresses, makeup and hair style. I 

love sessions in vintage dresses. 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration 

in your work? Surely the great Italian and 

international photographers such as Gianni 

Berengo Gardin, Giovanni Gastel, Paolo Roversi, 

Margaret Bourke White, Annie Leibovitz, Steve Mc 

Harry, Emily Soto, etc ... 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Canon. 85mm 1.2 

What is one piece of advice you would like to 

offer a new photographer looking to start their 

own business? Learning from the great 

photographers, without copying them. Always put 

yourself and your own emotions into what you do. 

That's what makes a difference for me. 

What do you think of our new magazine? I think 

it's an interesting showcase to introduce models 

and photographers

Photographer 

Michele Coppola (Italy) 

Tell us something about yourself. I was born in 1978, 

in a cold Thursday of January, in front of the Siren Gulf 

close to Naples, but my family moved to Milan when I 

was still a child and I grew up here. 

I always loved travelling, for working or for passion and 

for this I call myself “an eternal foreign in homeland”! 

No place belongs to me, every place fills my heart and 

my eyes and photography is a natural consequence of 

my curiosity. 

How and when did you get into photography? Well, 

I’m not able to tell you when I decide to became a 

photographer… is something that happened naturally! I 

started to shot during the Accademy in Milan where I 

studied theatrical direction, but at that time photography 

for me was a way to takes notes, gather ideas… 

after the Accademy I realized that what I was doing 

with the camera was what I wanted to do! The pictures 

weren’t just “notes”, they were the way in which I saw 

the world and people around me. More I developed 

this, more I knew myself. At the end photography for 

me became a need for discovering “how deep is the 

white-rabbit-burrow”. During the last year of university, 

I was working in a little photographic studio, and I 

got a phone call: 

“Would you like to work as photo reporter in Africa for 

2 years?” I said yes, and in 15 days I left my family, my 

university, my house and I was at the airport of Sharm 

just with my old Nikon D70. And everything started. 

What does photography mean to you? It will surely 

survive on me. It’s not a passion, it’s not just a job… it’s 

a needs. I’m able to tell you only this. It’s the needs to 

be amazed, it’s the needs to know, it’s the needs to 

express myself, It’s the needs to communicate with my 

own language, without words but with something that 

everybody can understand and at the end, maybe, 

leaving an heritage of this time.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our 

readers. I’m above all a black and white photographer, 

even if I’m looking for “my colour” also. I could say to be a 

portraitist, even if, in reality, I don’t care to give me “a 

label”. All the technicals, framing – choiches, managing 

model, locations, style and make up… all this things are 

elements that I use to build an image. I look for a har-mony 

among the body, the look and the world around. I search 

all the time for poetry, sensuality and elegance.

Where do you get inspiration from? There are a lot of 

places where I get inspiration, more or less… everywhere! 

Reading novels and poems, watching movies, looking 

magazines or pictures on the books and web. I get inspiration 

from my trips, looking things places and people 

around me, during my long walks ( I really love walking) 

and of course studying my favourite big photographer as 

Lindberg, Avedon, Herb Ritts, Barbieri, Newton… I get 

“input and ideas” from everywhere and I leave them 

growing up inside of me… some of them disappear, others, 

suddenly, became a need to be realized. So I start to 

develop them. I try to transform these suggestions in a 

concrete idea that belongs to me. I look for all the“things” 

that I need to realize it… and then I shot. Sometimes it 

works… and sometimes no! Anyway, I always leave free a 

part of this creative process… because sometimes things 

happen, even if you didn’t project anything, but you have 

to be ready to catch them. 

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? I 

could say at 60%! I mean, I build the idea then I want that 

the model lives inside this idea. For me is important her/ 

his interpretation: I give some directions, some suggestions 

but I want that she/he feels part of the world that I 

‘ve created. In this way I give to my self the chance to 

explore the limits of the idea, if it works or not, if it miss 

something or there is too much… Moreover, all the people 

that work on my set are important, because through their 

professionality, their sensibility this idea can grow up. I like 

to talk with them and confront with their interpre-tation... 

and sometimes it happen that we change a lot from the 

original idea. For all this, I could say that I go on a set with 

a canvas in my mind… but the picture will be built there. 


Studio, on location or both? I’d say both! As always… depend on the idea! Even if sometimes I prefer to work 

outside. Maybe because I come from reportage, so I feel more comfortable in open space, with natural lights… 

or better with that “cloudy-soft- lights” before the rain! For me is the best one!!!! 

Would you consider yourself a professional? I’ve been a professional photographer for 16-17 years. 

What has been your most memorable session and why? OH! Hard question! I don’t know… I mean, often 

behind a picture, there is a story…! For example has been so funny what happened while I was taking the 

picture of the model with the long black skirt on the stairs. It was December and we were in Milan at 2pm 

o’clock. At the end of via Montenapoleone, close to Armani Hotel, there is a little square with this monument 

made like a huge stairs that I chose as location. 

We started to work, the model was posing, I was concentrate to shot 

and suddenly I saw the model through the camera start to laugh… I 

stopped and when I turn behind I saw more than 100 people with 

cameras, mobile phone and I don’t know what else… taking videos and 

pictures of her! 

There were a couple of policemen that were taking pictures too! By the 

way we go on to work and after 10 min, when we finished, people 

started to clap and some of them asked also a picture with the model 

and my autograph… Was very funny! We laughed so much! 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work? Well, 

probably Peter Lindberg, but in somehow all the neo-realistic photographers! 

For example I really love Ferdinando Scianna and how he 

show us Sicily. People, places… every picture is a story! He has been 

able to give not only an interpretation of the life of this land but above 

all an aesthetics and an iconography! 


photographer looking to start their own business? Mmmm… what 

could I say… are you sure??? Ok, I’m joking! Well I think that you don’t 

choose this profession, you must feel for real that is what you want to 

do… or better to be! Is one of the best profession in the world, but is 

also one of the hardest. You have to be prepared to do a lot of sacrifices, 

to receive a lot of doors closed, to change your mind and put all 

your work in discussion for improving and never give up to study. You 

should defend your ideas and work but you should be able to listen 

people that give you the right advices. 

Don’t do it just for money… even because, nowadays, is not so easy 

earn “big money” from this career, but do it for yourself! Because after 

all the struggling’s, after all the fights, after all the problems… if you 

keep hard… you will see realized your ideas! And for me this is the best 

gratification.

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Always been Nikonist and my favourite lens are 105mm 2.8 macro and85mm 1.8. 

What do you think of our new magazine? Well, first of all, I’d like to say thank you for hosting me! I think is a very 

nice magazine above all because you give the chance to introduce a lot of talented photographers and beautiful 

models. You give them a lot of space to show their works and present themselves!

MODEL BELINDA KLOECKNER

MODEL HELEN RUDENKO 


Model Laura McGuire (USA) 

Can you tell us a little about you? I am married with 3 children and I have been living 

in the USA for 13 years. I am Lithuanian by heritage. Besides modeling I am very 

passionate about fitness and healthy lifestyle. Being a certified personal trainer and a 

group fitness instructor enables me to share my approach of staying fit and give 

inspiration to others. I am not only preaching I have been practicing it for many years. 

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? I am comfortable with 

who I am. I won’t lie that confidence comes with age and understanding of your 

strengths and weaknesses. It comes with knowing how to laugh at yourself but stand 

your ground when it is necessary. It is a complicated topic in a sense that you have to 

accept who you are and make the best out of it. Nobody is perfect and we all know it. 

How did you start modeling? I was modeling on and off since 14 years old. I was 

discovered by model scouts visiting Lithuania at the time. It is an exciting glamorous 

industry and once you fall into it you can’t leave it so easily. 

What do you think of the work as a model? Work as a model is very exciting in the 

sense that it is very diverse. It surely has the glamorous side that most of the people 

are attracted to. It gives me an exposure to all of the beautiful things that we women 

love: latest fashion, skincare, make up etc. It also gives me an opportunity of constant 

make overs depending on the role you are playing during a photo shoot. 

What is your beauty regimen? My beauty regimen is quite basic. There is nothing 

extravagant or too expensive. I am a believer of regular facials which I do every 2 

months. And you certainly have to find the skincare that works for your skin and age. 

Besides that your body is a reflection of how you live your life. 

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? I think I am a 

very positive person. I am focused on things that I am trying to achieve but at the same 

time I believe in natural course of events, destiny. 

What are your plans for the future? The future is as bright as you want it to be. Family 

is the center of my universe and having them all healthy and happy is my biggest wish. 

I build everything around my 3 children and my husband, they are the priority. 

Career-wise I would like to grow as a fitness professional, educate and inspire people 

on healthy lifestyle and fitness. In fashion industry I would like to continue successfully 

work as a model and proudly embrace different opportunities that come with age. 

- 240 -

What are some of your favorite experiences so far? My most favorite experiences are associated with 

traveling and exploring new places. 

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modeling? It is an exciting industry so try it out if you 

have an opportunity. But it is not a profession you can rely on all of your life. It comes and goes away so 

embrace it while it lasts and have fun with it. 

What do you think of the magazine? It is a great online industry magazine. Informational and fun reading.

Photographer Bruno de Carvalho 

(Portugal) 

Tell us something about yourself. I’m a photographer based in Portugal 

that loves, live and dream with photography. 

How and when did you get into photography? More seriously, it was 8 

years ago, before I already receive good feedback from some shoots I 

made to some friends of mine and then I decide to learn about photography 

in some workshops and after that positive feedback increase and I 

never stop until now. 

What does photography mean to you? It’s what I love to do, is what 

makes me awake even with a few or none hours sleeps, is what makes 

me alive. 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. My style 

is spontaneous, relaxed and intense. 

Where do you get inspiration from? From books, movies and other 

photographers like Mario Testino, for example. 

Think you in advance what you want in the picture? Most of the times 

yes, I think in advance but some of them came naturally, during the 

shoot. 

Studio, on location or both? I prefer on location because we can play 

with the elements that are around us and different kinds of weather 

conditions. I got some cons also but it’s much more challenging and 

exciting at the end. 

What has been your most memorable session and why? It was in 

Esbjerg, Denmark, with a beautiful model that was Miss Denmark finalist 

because she was very pretty, lovely as person, depending on angle and 

light she look different from photo to photo and it ended with amazing 

photos, just like I had imagine. 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? I’m a 

paid professional.

Rikke Søgaard

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work? My vision 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Nikon, since when I start. For fashion 

shoot 70-200mm f2.8 from Nikon. 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer 

looking to start their own business? To trust in their work and enjoy every 

single shoot they make. If you love it, go for it. 

What do you think of our new magazine? I think it’s great, high 

professional photos showed and I’m very honour to be able to show my 

work in this magazine. Thanks.

Tatiana Khlebopros 


Make-up Artist: Djongi makeup & SFX 

How long have you been a makeup artist and how did 

you get your start? Honestly, I really can't define it with 

a certain date! I have been in arts and crafts since kid, 

so oh, yes, this dates back in time! Approximate since 5 

years I work as a makeup and sfx artist. It started so 

easy, you know, when you work and have a dream you 

start to think, than collect some money to study. 

Sometimes you don't have a cool job, can't put aside, 

sometimes you have a cool job and have no time to go 

to study. I never do promises to myself on New Year's 

Eve, except that one. I promised myself to start the 

year and dedicate it to all the things that are kind to my 

heart – things that I had no time or no money to 

realize. To learn makeup and sfx was one of it to go for. 

I started a course, and all rest were just coming one 

after another. 

What’s your education and what is your favorite part 

of the make up? Apart of being a makeup and special 

effects artist, instructor and a teacher, I have got some 

other qualifications – I am a foreign trade executive, 

have diploma (BA and MA) as an adragogy specialist 

(adult education), worked years in the logistics field, 

teached English too! 

I finished a numerous courses in Hungary and abroad in 

makeup, sfx, airbrush, face and body painting etc.... 

Now my newest school is a hairdresser school, so girls, 

fingers crossed for me! I think that we all need to 

improve ourselves and learn, it is not a shame, it is 

normal human thing to keep your knowlegde up to 

date by putting your work on a higher quality and 

professional level! 

My favourite part? Hm... let me think.... When I put my 

hand on my heart, I could say that my favourite part in 

makeup is that kind where I have to design a look 

according to some special needs – it could be a makeup 

for a very extreme costume, or a look what has to fit 

more requirements at the same time. That kind of 

makeup, what you have to really think over and figure 

out how to execute, what materials to use etc. 

Where do you get your inspiration from? 

That is a very good question! Where I get my 

inspiration from? Hm.... sometimes it comes 

in a flash and I make notes or start to do 

makeup on myself infront of the mirror at 

home. I like to think and create out of my 

mind, experimenting, mixig techniques, 

testing materials and consistencies to the 

edge of their limit to see how further can I go. 

Sometimes, when I have free hand in a job I 

like to create makeups what fit the requirements, 

fitting even the small details included 

in it. Influence is all over, just needs to be 

prosessed. Or I am just calling my Muse on 

the hotline! 

Any makeup tips you'd like to share with us? 

Yes, please use facial cream on daily bases, 

over 25 is a must to use an eye cream, a light 

foundation is always natural looking instead of 

wearing a heavy coverage for every day. 

Please do not forget: the task and puropse of 

makeup is to make you feel beautiful and 

preatty(er than you are), to cover the small 

mistakes on your face, hide the things that we 

don't want to see, and highlight the things 

that are preatty! Less is more!

Who have you worked for and who would you like to 

work for in the future? I work for few theaters in 

Hungary, have a private customers too. Working also 

on two very exciting projects to realize next year – 

hope to inform you and your kind audience within few 

months of my crazy-beauty-bloody plans! 

In these days I am packing my “let's do magic makeups 

and pour some blood” equipments and hitting the 

road to work on a movie set. 

For the future, I would like to do and participate in 

wordwide productions where my name means 

guarantee of a quality work. An international 

recognition of the industry would simply melt my 

heart. 

What are three things every girl needs in her makeup 

bag?I think the top three things, what are “must have” 

in a girl's bag are: an eye pencil – with color of your 

choise (I use balck or dark grey), mascara and a 

lipstick! With a pencil you can easily make a daily 

makeup into evening one in a flash, mascara to pop-up 

the lashes, lipstick to be a real woman, and even if you 

use a bit of lipstick as a blush you are ready to go 

really in 5 minutes! 

What are some of your makeup products that 

you use? 

In my work as a makeup and special effects artist 

I work with differend products and brands, 

according to the needs of the customer, or the 

production. I simply hate to carry a huuuuge and 

heavy makeup suitcase, so during the years I 

could select a small rolling suitcase size kit to my 

work. 

I love palettes, they are so easy to carry, full with 

colors options and saves a lot of place by not 

carrying a bunch of bottles and single eye 

shadows or lipstick tubes! 

I always have 4-5 types of foundations with me, 

creamy and powder makeups, basic eye and lip 

pencils, lipstics in a palette too. 

Regarding the brands, I am definately a Ben Nye 

fan! I use some Kryolan, Mac and other 

professional brands, but always keep an eye on 

that's new on the market and try to test it. I 

prefer to work with makeup products that have 

multi purpose usage, have buildable 

consistencies (from light to heavy) and are heavy 

duty to wear and in the mean time should give a 

fresh look to the face, a lightweight effect as a 

makeup. Buildable consistency is a good to have 

if you have to work for fashion or theater, and 

light could be for a movie for example, heavy 

duty for a wedding makeup, HD makeup for 

photo sessions. 

All the products that I use when I work, are 

perviously personally tested on myself, I would 

never ever use a product without knowing how it 

feels on the skin, is it comfortable or not, is it 

long lasting or vanishes with the first touch up. 

In my private life, when I put makeup on myself I 

use the same products that I use for work, with 

differance that these are separated from the 

working kit. My makeup bag is unbelievably 

small! I have a Ben Nye HD foundation and a 

concealer, a transluscent powder, a single blush 

and mascara, few pensils and eye colors, some 

lip shines and few lipsticks! 


What are common mistakes you see women make on their makeup? Actually, all woman – of course there 

are always exceptions! -, just simply forget what we see on differnt social medias as a makeup is not what we 

should normally wear as a daily makeup on our face when we are on the street – in the meaning of the word: 

normal makeup! Most of the times I see too much heavy makeups, just too much of foundation, blush or not 

proper use of colors, or just simply heavily painted eyebrows. I suggest to all makeup lovers, just simply to 

wear makeup what is comfortable, suits the personality, and most of all what gives a light, natural look – the 

kind of makeup that makes you preatty and corrects the face to positive direction, to make you feel beautiful. 

Girls, do not forget, sometimes less is more! 

What do you think of the magazine? I follow the magazine since years, I can only say my congratulations to 

the whole team! Great job guys, keep up the good job! The magazine is stylish, modern and just perfect 

quality!

How to shoose a mascara? 

Before choosing the best mascara for your lashes, you should keep the 

following in mind. Mascara you'll find in many brands and styles. 

What kind of lashes? Are they long, curly, thick, thin, short, just right? 

Shorter lashes appear longer with lengthening mascara. Thin lashes 

will look fuller with a thickening formula and longer lashes benefit 

from curling mascara .Mascara are available in a wide range of colors 

and styles, from the blackest black and dark brown to lighter shades of 

both, or even fun colors such as blue and green. Black and brown 

tones are the most appropriate and work well with any skin tone, eye 

color and choice of wardrobe. 

Are you planning to go swimming? Is there any chance that you're going to cry, or going 

to laugh so hard that you get tears in the eyes? If you answered yes to any of these 

questions, waterproof mascara is the best option in this case! This prevents mascara 

flared when watching sad movies or emotional times. 

- Weddings, graduations, you can pass your waterproof mascara to the day, or at least 

your face will not provided with mascara. This type of mascara is difficult to remove, 

unless you have a makeup remover that is capable of removing waterproof make up. 

Are your eyelashes very blond or not so noticeable? If this 

problem seems to haunt you, try a filling of mascara, or possibly 

one that fills your lashes and renew. A thicker formula will be 

better for your lashes because this mascara thickers your lashes 

layer by layer. Even if your lashes are still a little subtle, you can 

always accentuate your eyes with dark eyeliner and eyeshadow. 

If you are still not satisfied, you can put fake eyelashes for special 

occasions. 

Here are just mascara's of LR Health & Beauty Systems that have 

very good quality. 

These mascaras can be found at LR Health & Beauty Systems www.LRworld.com
