Photoshoot - Elverhøj

As I’ve mentioned before, I joined the staff of the only current danish lolita oriented magazine; Starlight Magazine.
Last edition I did the cover art, and two editions ago, I modelled with friends for the Red Riding Hood shoot. This time I modelled with three other models, wrote and article and did a tutorial, designed final logo from scratch and did the layout for most of the magazine, this last bit wasn’t too bad, since a lot of the magazine consists of photoshoots, as well as five articles written and layouted by Sabrina, as well as having both a make-up tutorial, a recipe page and a page with recent brand.
Most of the work consisted in waiting for people to finish their works, figuring out who made what, if they planned on finishing things before deadline and so on (two didn’t meet deadline).

The photoshoot itself was planned ages ago, by Sabrina who really wanted to make this shoot happen. She made one dress and two skirts, bought extensions, jewellery and make-up, and we went location scouting one weekend, and she tried getting dry ice, which fell through, so she got smoke bombs instead, and when Stine, who was to be our soldier for the shoot, got really ill at the last minute, we advertised for a model on facebook, and our friend Rikke agreed. This was a major save, and Rikke did so well!! She didn’t have much clothes, but she and Sabrina managed to scrape a really convincing outfit together by combing things from their wardrobes.

We all met up at Sabrina’s at 10, and spent the next four hours to get ready, then we packed provisions, photography gear etc. and got on our way.

The trip to the location took some 30 minutes plus the 20 minutes it took to walk from the station to the final location. We passed through a major deer herd in the idyllic forest, and the deer just ignored us. It was magical! Sadly none of us took any photos.


The shoot took around three hours I think, and then the skies suddenly opened up and water poured down!! We all scrambled to save the gear and the make-up. Since I’d been barefooted for the shoot, and my shoes had gotten wet, I simply walked back in the pouring rain without shoes, stepping in puddles and mud. It was great!
The day ended with Supernatural and pizza. A great ending to an eventful and fun day!
