And Then All Lights Extinguished (365/365) Equipment: Nikon D90 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 7. June 2011 Well, I’m finished! This is my last photo for this 365…Thanks to my mam for helping me with this. She was the one, who blew out the candles and she also helped me to be in focus because otherwise this would have been a pain in the ass to shoot! The meaning of this image should be clear. The candles stand for my 365, which is over now. That’s the reason why the candles don’t burn anymore and smoke surrounds them. I had this in my mind since days now and I knew that it would be perfect for my last photo and I hope you like it as well. It was really an interesting year. This project was really awesome, although sometimes I really wanted to quit. But if you’re thinking about starting a 365 yourself - DO IT! This project helped me to grow in more than one aspect. It definitely helped me grow as a photographer, as well as a person. I made so many experiences this year. As mentioned before, I gained a lot more photography skills and I also met a lot of people, who talked with me about the project. I really got a lot of feedback, advices as well as admiration. This project showed me how much I love photography! I know that it will be always a part of me either as a hobby or maybe sometime as a profession. Because of this awareness, I have to say that I’m a little bit sad that this project is already over. Nevertheless, I’m not going to start up another 365 this year. Sorry to disappoint, but I really need some time now to see where photography takes me now… Completing my 365 was really worth it. I never missed a day although this project was a pain in the ass some times, but on other days I could have made 5 photo’s and more at the same time… Some days I felt inspired and on other days I couldn’t come up with an idea at all. Anyway, I mostly spend 1-5 hours (some times even more) for each image. Beginning with the set up, shooting, editing and sometimes also the walk to the location. Nevertheless, I really think it was worth it and I’m really proud of myself that I finished it. Looking back at older photos shows me that this time was definitely worth it. Last but not least, I want to thank a few people. First of all, I want to thank my boyfriend, friends and family. They always supported me during this project. Especially my boyfriend needed some extra nerves when I spend most of the day shooting and editing that being with him :) And of course, I want to thank YOU GUYS! don’t even know where to start, but you all have been so supportive and amazing. Thank you for all the nice comments, feedbacks and critiques as well as motivating me to keep on every day. WOHOO, I’M DONE! TIME TO CELEBRATE :) PS: Kinda nice that it’s my birthday tomorrow, ha? buy my prints || formspring || blog

Poison Ivy (364/365) Equipment: Nikon D90 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 6. June 2011 IT’S THE LAST DAY… I can’t believe it, can you?Talking about this image: First of all, green is my favorite color! My mom bought this prop for me and since I stumbled upon it today I thought I could use it before my project ends. It was kinda hard to place the ivy in my hair so that it will stay there as well. First, I had the problem that when I would move, the ivy leaves would fall off. But I managed a way to keep them constant in my hair. I found that out when I wanted to remove the prop. That hurt like hell, but the photo was worth the pain. Since I couldn’t decide on two photo’s, you can take a look at the second one in comments. buy my prints || formspring || blog

Release Your Inner Animal (363/365) Equipment: Nikon D90 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 5. June 2011 First I wanted to name this ‘She Wolf’, but then I had to think about Shakira all the time and that wasn’t what I was going for. So I changed the tittle and I like the new one better. The editing of this one was a pain in the ass because nothing worked out the way I wanted it too. But gladly, I was able to create something really nice and I have to admit that the editing was definitely worth it. Good that I didn’t gave up after the first tries… Nevertheless, I’d like to hear your opinion. Do you like it as well?? Credit: Wolf || Moon buy my prints || formspring || blog

Lingerie (362/365) Equipment: Nikon D90 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 4. June 2011 Actually, I wanted to do something completely different, but the props my mum bought for me were completely different as I wanted them. So I tried something else and I couldn’t believe it, the test shoot was so exactly the way I wanted it to look. I never finished an image for my 365 this fast! I also took some other shots, but I liked none better than the first one. I still can’t believe my luck :) buy my prints || formspring || blog

Come Home, Sailor (361/365) Equipment: Nikon D90 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 3. June 2011 I’m finally up-to-date with all my images. It feels really good because I was afraid I wouldn’t make it before this project ends… Nevertheless, this is the last outstanding image and I already have one for today as well. Beside that, I also re-actived my formspring.me account and I also have the app for my iphone. This means I’ll be more active as I used to be, so feel free to ask me some questions.

These Lies Will Kill Us (359/365) Equipment: Nikon D90 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 1. June 2011 This is similar the my image These Secrets Will Kill Us (107/365) from the 22th September in 2010. At least it should be the same message…Nevertheless, it wasn’t a nice photoshoot. It was hot and the wool constricted my face and the wool in my mouth was really disgusting. So if you want to try that as well, you maybe use something different. Maybe these sweets. If I only knew this before :) Beside that, I’m feeling better now, so I made a photoshoot marathon and made image 357 to 361. I can say that I’m exhausted now, but I’m glad that I caught up with the project because the final countdown started… How was your life while I was absent?
