In my Aerial series – always like talented dancers and gymnasts visiting me in my studio. Aerialists also because their movements are quite spectacular to catch on photo, they fit so well in my research to the capture the elegancy of a movement 🤸
Lucky me I knew this so cute model from Australia, I did shoot more then a year ago on my trip to Australia. So double luck: Gabrielle was visiting Europe last month. Off course I had to ask her to do a shoot. And because she’s a Silk and hoop athlete, she really was enthusiast to show me what she could do. I’m most lucky that I can shoot the most wonderful and talented models like Gabrielle.
And talented she was. Gabrielle, posed, moved with an enthusiasm, with energy, so elegantly, with so much grace, with a smile I will never forget. And her hair fits marvelously in her skills. I am completely charmed
After my first post, with Gabrielle coming out of the cocoon as a butterfly, I had to show you what marvellous picture this butterfly did produce.
This golden outfit, combined with Gabrielle’s amazing hair, in this amazing pose in the hoop made a princess of her: Princess Militrissa. For the story, Militrissa, in 'the tale of Tsar Saltan', the youngest of three sisters, wins to marry Saltan with her modesty and beauty. Inspired by this tale, Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov wrote one of his most colourful opera scores, including the ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’.
This picture of you is incredible Gabrielle, it’s so beautiful! I love it. Thank you soooo much. ... and much more stunning pictures to come!
Many thanks also to Gina, Gabrielle’s mum, to come to Europe and visit me with your daughters. I had a wonderful time together with you all.
I come back to Australia very soon. I’m really looking forward to it a lot.
