Greetings, Gremilins!

Well since my post on Harley Queen has received so much love, here is some further facespam. 

Love, Mizkreant

Harley Queen

Greetings Gremlins!^_^

Excuse the leave of absence, but after passing my exams, two awesome shoots, the Mizkreant needed to relax and so I spent some time with my friends in the capital, just us girls the Mizkreant and PureHate ☆_☆

But since 7DeadlySins was so fresh, I forgot to elaborate on another shoot that I am very proud to have been a part of- you might remember me rumbling about a shoot with custom made choppers.

It was so damn epic! Not to mention my girl Tina Saražin was there,  and we had a wild journey to Trojane, where we met up with Mitja Derenda, and the other models to meet the bikes, locations, buggies and planes!
 

There were several photographers, personally I worked with four new photographers, whose work shall not be revealed yet, since this was made for an exibition, and well, really, why would we spoil your surprise?

I will soon reveal the date and location of fhe exhibition, of course.

But untill then, enjoy these teasers, and let me tell you, on this shoot, against all the heat and leather and sweat, I truly did feel, like the Harley Queen.

All I was missing was a tiara xD

The Mizkreant

The canvas stays silent

Greetings Gremlins!^_^

Excuse the enigmatic title, but I find it thematically appropriate, since I wish to talk about people whose voices are silenced by two dimensions, people who usually aren't expected to talk, but their visual existance can in extreme cases even be worshipped - models.

I have dedicated an article to our amazing photographer Jasmina, and now I want to talk about the models of my baby, 7DeadlySins. Even if I have met some of these people for the first time, and some of them are my lifelong friends, and even if some of them had more experience in modelling than others, they are all wonderful people whom you should know a little bit more about then just seeing their faces.

The sin of Pride:

Ani aisling Pustišek

This little lady has the face of an angel, the soul of an old woman, the mouth of a sailor and the style of a sinner. A talented makeup artist, experienced model and one of my close friends. An article on her makeup artistry should happen soon, in fact.

So you shall read more about her soon.

Alex Djuran

Seeing it was my first time meeting him,  I have to mention this guys carisma and preparedness. Up for anything, and sure to make your funny bone dance. He was our on set hair stylist, doing the job fabulously. Modelled for the first time, but his face transposes on canvas like a dream. A true natural.

Also, great at keeping up morale. 

Quote: "DO IT!"

The sin of Lust

Tina Saražin

A multi-tasker would get jelaous of this girls variety and productivity.  But the truth is, she is an artistic soul, ready to get challenged, conquer the challenge and have fun doing it! I doubt I have ever met such a positively orientated child- loving soul among artists, who will give it their all to produce something amazing.

Sebastian Colaric

A moderately shy city boy, who Ihave to admit comes from a different world to mine, but admittedly, that doesn't make it worse.  He was new in the whole underground scene, and sometimes he might need an extra kick in the butt, but in the end he pulled trough and owned the set! More of a casual model, but with this shoot, he has prooven to me he can do something different, too.

The sin of Gluttony

Amadea Ris

A soul sister of mine, the other dragon lady,... there are no words which can describe how adorkable of a person she is. On top of that gorgeous body is an intelligent head, with a talented drawing hand. Her modelling experience is getting bigger and bigger, and if I had to put money on it, she would be my pick for a future in high fashion modelling.

Rook Kelly

Sadly, I think I have interacted with this guy the least, as I had been running about the place. What I can say though is, he came to set prepared, a very professional attitude towards makeup and styling, and I think his presence works well on people working with him- while they were working, all you could hear were giggles! 

But that might have been the alcohol too...

The sin of Greed 

Tjaša Vendramin

The baby-doll blue eyes are far from her best feature. With a sidenote, this girl saved the shoot, jumping in at the last second, with no experience whatsoever, got ready to go on set in minutes, and played the role perfectly... which kinda sorta also describes her character well. Not to mention that her legs make people go short of breath, she produced great pix for popping her model cherry!

Dejan Angelov

I will never forget meeting this guy, as I will never get over his face. Spectacular features are accompanied by a smart attitude and a sharp mind, which makes him a great conversational partner, great model and just overall an inspiring person to be around. Definetely on my list of people I absolutely have to work with....

when he changes his hair (youknowiloveyouxD)

The sin of Sloth

Alex Dorian Ripper

A ftm transgender painter, actor, singer and songwriter, specialising in cosplay and all things awesome, this person gets a little too little credit for what gets created underneath those fingers. Might be a tad introverted, but trust me, if you desire art, alex is the one who can deliver the goods.

Also does a SIIIIICK Jack Sparrow impersonation.

My fave is Tonto though.

Ludvik Ludo Pe

The first one there, first one ready in styling, had nothing to do and complained about it! But then he broke out his sketchbook, and I could see my sloth appear.  Complained like a pro about being an amateur model, worked it like a pro trough every stage of the shoot. 

Massive props to sloth,their job was the hardest. You guys rock.

The sin of Envy

Fleš InWonderland

When this girl was created, they used rivers of talents, buckets of cool and a handfull of shy. She designs like a true poke-master, and when I say I adore her sewing, it would be an understatement. (i mean she made.a.toothless.hoodie. I DIED OKAY?) With experience in modelling, a vision in design, this girl will be going places.  I wish her personality would shine trough a bit more though.

Arik Sykes

Another upbeat, awesome personality that you cannot forget! Relaxed, positive and attentive to direction.Time spent waiting for preparations to be complete wouldn't be as epic without him. Another rookie in modelling, but working on the group shot I could see him relax and start working it... and it was Fierce. 

P.s. Has a pair of eyes that can melt ice caps

The sin of Wrath

Naser Gashi

Such a sweetheart! Such features! Much shy! My partner in sin was chosen purely out of all the things a model "needs" to be. Legs stretching out to London and back, height appropriate(really, I'm a midget.), and face that begs to be captured on film. His shyness has maybe worked against him in the beggining, but after a few growls, and screams, there was my Wrath.

Nana Higuchi

.... A retarded potato who vomited before getting people on location, freaked out for four hours, before calming down and taking it to the end.

No. 

I am so not gonna describe myself... 

it would cause my brain to implode xD

So now you know a thing or two about the people without a voice, who get outspoken by their own face, by someone who is used of that feeling.

We are people, not just a face and a body on a photo. We have dreams, fears, likes, dislikes,... so please dont forget that. 

Treat us like the people we are, not the face that you see.

The Girl Behind The Lens: Jasmina Lozar

Greetings Gremlins!

Since stuff has been hectic up until now in my life, it is really nice to get a day like this, where I get to chill, and rest my exhausted mind, and not to mention body. ×_× /all of my muscles are sore and this makes me grumpy okay?/
Off pistè, just a bit.
Today I thought about a special woman, who I know is right now working like an animal- Jasmina Lozar.

https://www.facebook.com/lozarjasmina

And since she is being a doll, working on so many projects, I thought I should tell you a thing or two about the girl behind the lens.

We have met way back on xFactor, I doubt she even remembers it, but for a then 17 year old me, I was completely awestruck by this girls talent, which extends far from just photography, cause let me tell you, girl got pipes! 

It wasn't until sometime later,/khmtwoyears/ that I got to actually work with her, as a model. I remember the preparations to this day, cutting up the finishing touches on sleeves up to the very last second xD 

We worked on a set of portraits, and even if the shoot was short, I remember how awesome it felt working with someone so willspirited, who didn't mind having a shoot in the open street and just winging it! 

You can check out the full album Here

Before we next worked together,  the girl flew off to Portugal,  continued to work on her concert photography touring festival to festival-she is unstoppable I tell you!

And as I mentioned concert photography, I should probably also thank her for snapping a shot of me at an Overtures concert a while back, and well I'm glad I have such a memorable moment captured...

But this summer, we got together again, first working on an fairie/demon shoot in the woods,  which again, turned out spectacular! I seriously can't over stress how great it is collaborating with her, her personality makes it almost impossible to have bad attitude on set, and somehow, with her, work gets done faster than time flies,.. and there is always so many ideas for more, thatwe sooner run out of memory cards. XD

And now we have worked on my baby, 7DeadlySins together, and again, I torture her with hours and GB of pictures,  poking at her impatiently.. xD poor girl. Props for putting up with the Mizkreant.

So I promised you pics and  Here they are. 

But lets all be patient, and while she is burried in work, lets show her some love.

Show her love

Attitude on set: A+

Proffesional approach: ten golden stars

Creeper vibe?: LOLOMFGNO she is awesome

End result satisfaction ratio: 100%. 

Her work is timeless.

And she is a badass.

Up for batshit crazy shit for good shot? Always.

The Mizkreant.

7DeadlySins Completed!

Greetings Gremlins!^^

Woah, was yesterday a roller-coaster! But against all odds, and all complications that came along the way, everything worked out perfect and I couldn't be more proud and grateful for everyone's effort and pulling trough in the end, resulting in an awesome project and I can say for myself, I had a blast!

We started gathering at 3 pm in Štanjel, and so the process started! While we waited for people, the ones already there were thrown into styling, hair & make-up!

With the help of myself, the gorgeous Flaš InWonderland, and everyone's detailed efforts, we dressed 14 models!

The fabulously talented Fleš InWonderland!

The Mizkreant

Tina Sarazin showing us some flesh, ;)

Needless to say, make-up was also a project with this many people, and I got to thank the gorgeous Ani Aisling Pustišek, for making my girls gorgeous, and helping me embody my vision! Here I also got to mention another talented artist, who helped out with the guys faces!

Ani Aisling Pustišek in action!

The yin to my yang - Amadea Ris in make-up

Alex Dorian Ripper, our sloth, getting pissed at not having anything to do xD

Needless to say, when models waited to get sorted, everyone got to know each other, and I can honestly say that the team was amazing, (also at calming the 'Boss-Lady' down, as she was dealing with now non-important drama), and even if they had to wait to get into hair and makeup, the models really got along and the shoot actually kinda turned into a dress-up party!

 And not to forget to mention the DO-IT fella, our fab hairstylist, who despite being like this when I approached him about helping with the hair, saying OMGNOWHYME?!,

Alex Djuran, did a fabulous job following my shabby instructions, and made everyone's hair on point!

And about five-ish hours later, when all the preparations were complete, and everyone showed up, (with special thanks to Tjaša Vendramin, jumping in at the last second and saving the day!), all we could say was sayonara, and get shooting!

Pride (Alex Djuran &Ani Aisling Pustišek) on their way down the  Graveyard Aisle

When we started working, I couldn't be more proud of the models, which some of them were rookies at, and I must say that they followed the artistic vision to the tee- people got in character even behind the scenes!

Also check out Daseemay (the assistant photographer) on Instagram!

Well, for now, this shall be all I will share with you, Gremlins! We are all anticipating the final shots, which you shall see after I get them, and believe me, there are no words which can describe how much I look forward to seeing the final results.
