Birds
Photographer: Martijn Senders Styling: Richard Schreefel at Angelique Hoorn Management Hair: Blanca Murcia for Kevin Murphy at Angelique Hoorn Management Makeup: Yvonne Nusdorfer for NARS Cosmetics at Angelique Hoorn Management Models: Julie at Touche Models, Columba A. & Daan A. at Brooks Modeling Agency Assistant photographer: Leonie Van Vliet To me, fashion is not only about wearing beautiful clothes. It’s about renewal and expressing who you are. The fashion industry is one of the biggest industries in this world and with my pictures I not only try to create something beautiful, but I also want to make statements and therefore reach a lot of people. And that’s exactly what I tried to do with this series, that I call Birds. The name is inspired by the worldly famous 1963 horror-thriller movie The Birds, directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock. The Birds is about un unexplained violent bird attack on the people of Bodega Bay, California over the course of a few days. Where one bird can do no harm, they can be dangerous when together in a large group. The villagers are forced to unite to defend themselves agains a bird attack and ultimately drive them away. The movie was inspired by a real-life event, when residents of Capitola in California awoke one August morning in 1961 to find sooty shearwaters slamming into their rooftops and their streets covered with dead birds. Although it’s a classic film, I’ve never seen it before. Until about two years ago, when the stylist and good friend Richard, who also had a big role in this production, demanded me to watch it. That was also the year when The Birds deemed ‘culturally, historically and aesthetically significant’ by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry. There’s one scene that is known to be iconic and I dedicated eight images to this particular scene, translating my vision into this modern world. In this scene, Melanie and Mitch Brenner (played by Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor), seek refuge inside the family home of the Brenners when it’s being attacked by waves of birds that nearly breach barricaded doors and windows. They violently attack Melanie, trapping here in the room until Mitch rescues her. Birds

Salty Mirage
On a morning when the dew has not yet rested on the rocks and on the threads of the nets, a spirit of the sea climbs the undertow of the waves. She leaves her “childish” clothes to wear a new life made of light and softness. Attracted by the spell of a free life, she plunges into her mirage but, over time, the earthly world manifests itself for what it really is: hopes shatter on the rocks. It seemed perfect, colorful and instead there is as much lightness as loneliness, as much sun as so much darkness, happiness accompanied by wounds. This new discovery torments the marine spirit, the wind that blows through her hair only increases her doubts: to stay and be unhappy or put aside pride and return to one’s origins. Thus she decides to put on her marine clothes and accessories proudly, more aware of her luck, of her experiences and of breaking into the maternal embrace of the salty sea. Salty Mirage

THE TIDE TURNS
Photographer: Simon Baungaard Styling: Denis Bjerregaard Hair: Sabina Simmelha Makeup: Stine Rasmussen Model: Pia Priewe at Le Management THE TIDE TURNS was conceived as a project on a beautiful fall evening. The sun was setting, casting a warm light on the boatyard sheds. The vessels had been hauled ashore and warped for the winter ahead. Soon everything would be grey, cold and wet. Summer, and sailing the ocean, would seem so far away. But right at this moment, everything seemed more warm and beautiful than ever. How do I turn this into a story, I asked myself? How do I get this atmosphere into a fashion story? Who is the person with the boat? How will this person spend the winter, when not on the sea? What would be an interesting character in this setting? I like taking inspiration from a scene or situation and work out an imaginative surrounding story. When shooting, this story evolves as the shoot progresses. I get to crossroads in the storyline and have to work out the characters next move, or the changes of the setting. What makes sense for the story? How do I find the balance between telling my version of the story, but still leave it open to interpretation for the viewer? This is my motivation for taking pictures. Fashion stories provide the canvas for my imaginative stories and bring them to life. Open to interpretation for others. THE TIDE TURNS

THEN
Photography and Styling: Malene Kristopine Økland Model: Ingvild P THEN is a story reflecting about time passing. It is about weared out memories, and worn out clothes. Memories that have been, that I have tried to capture without knowing them. I have exclusively used clothes from my grandmothers house, where I’ve found some great treasures. I love vintage clothing because I know there is a story to every piece. To know that the story belongs to my grandmother, or someone else in my family, makes it even more special to me. THEN

Everything Starts in Our Brain
“Everything starts in our brain, creating reality as we perceive it for ourselves” I would like to quote David Altmejd who says the head is the beginning and end of our universe. Everything Starts in Our Brain
