No.196 “Strawberry Dreams”
Photography by Maiken Staak
Hair and Make up by Ana Buvinic
Model by Svea at Kult Models
Strawberry Dreams was born in collaboration with makeup artist Ana Buvinic.
Working process with Ana is usually very dynamic, collaborative and creative.
Mostly we agree on the general topic, choose a model together and then start working on the shooting day reflecting on each others work during the process.
With the story Strawberry dreams we wanted to create beauty looks and pictures that are soft, romantic and dreamy.
Therefore also the colour choice of pink and red, but keep it with a funky twist and balance it with simple black and white.
As I am shooting analogue, we always have a little bit of a surprise moment after the films are developed and scanned, because we do not see any images during the shoot.
As most of the topics in the world right now are so serious, we had a feeling to go for something cute, simple and soft.
There is no super deep idea behind this story, we just enjoy escaping from reality and creating pictures together.

She has been passionate about shooting analogue, because it feels more magical and intimate as a process compared to the speedy digital.
She is inspired by working together with other talents in the industry.
