Look #4: an artistic Spring

Look: an artistic spring
Holà!

How are you doing? I hope that you are holding on during this confinement wherever you are!  On my side, I am lucky enough to be in the countryside, and maybe you already know that, but cherry blossoms are currently in full bloom. How fortunate am I to have a cherry orchard just outside my house?! Before the confinement, I had planned to take pictures of a look which I like, but I obviously hadn't planned that I would have to do it at home...
So I said to myself: "listen, you are far from being the only one in this situation, so you are going to find a solution to take pictures of this look at home: it is time to find a creative way to have nice pictures, even at home!". I instantly had the idea to go take the pictures in the orchard. Then, I got inspired by an Instagram account which plays with contrasts, straight lines in the decor, as well as some sort of hide and seek games with the environment. If you are interested in this account, it is called @oumaymaboumeshouli. Therefore, I took my few accessories and went down in the orchard to take these pictures:

I discovered the film camera that you can see on the pictures during the confinement, in one of the lost boxes in a corner of the house. It is an old film camera that belongs to my mum. Finally, the intensive cleaning up is paying off 😅. (Now I am going to stop pretending I was cleaning everything up and tell you the truth: the cleaning up addict here is my sister, so it wasn't me who found this precious box 😂, voilà voilà I admitted everything...)

I am really pleased by the result of the pictures. To be honest, I find that the pictures are even a bit better than the look. Therefore, I had some difficulty to find an adequate title: are we talking about a look, or artistic photos?? Well, you can make your own choice... I will still give you the information about the look:

Skirt - Handmade by my mother
Transparent T-shirt - S. Oliver (from a few years ago)
White bra/sleeveless shirt - Zara
Shoes- Converses (I think it was a limited edition)
Belt - thrifted
Necklace - Swarosky
Earrings - DIY, here is the link.

For the make up, I started by doing a blue-ish dot on the outer corner of my lid, using eye-shadow. Then I drew semi circles with an eyeliner around the dots.


Working on the pictures, I also realized that the style really resembles @natachabirds's aesthetic, which wasn't planned at all! I love her photo style, but it is not what I usually do, at least it is not what's natural for me to do. Nonetheless, it really made me want to do more artistic stuff like that, because I really like these pictures. Moreover, I had a lot of fun playing with the shadows.

Tell me what you think of it! Do you also like such shadow-light interplays in pictures?
