Grease is the way we are feeling.

A few weeks ago, one of my colleagues, John who is also a professional photographer asked me if I want to model for a little shooting he had planned. And I said yes, because I loved the theme: 50’s, Grease and Pin up style. Sounded amazing.

But since I didn’t want to go on my own, I asked one of my friends to come with me, thank god she said yes. At first he said we gonna be 4 models but by Saturday we were down to 2 models but Steffi (the friend who came with me), was asked to get in front of the camera as well. YAAY!

So on Saturday Steffi picked me up, we met one of the photographers (Nick) at the company I work, because I had no idea where the location is. We drove for almost 2 hours until we finally got there.

Beautiful place, an amazing farm. People there were SO nice and made sure we feel really comfortable. Then it was time to get the cars out of the garage. God they were beautiful and the sound…holy shit I can tell you! It was like going back in time!!!

Then it was make up time! After the first model got her makeup done, it was my turn. Was nice not to have to do this myself, for once :) And the makeup artist honestly did a great job! I put on my brown 50’s dress and then it was time to start. Since this was the first time for me, I thought I’d feel really awkward and stuff but it was just amazing! I felt really comfortable and since I know John for quite a while now and have seen his work before, I knew the pictures gonna be great!

After the 50s style it was time to get a little bit more rock’n’roll. We all put on some leatherjackets, Steffi wore some leather leggings and I wore high waste black shorts. John gave us a gun each and we got back into the cars. We had a great time pretending to shoot everyone on the set.

John and Nick were both amazing. We had such a laugh. Sometimes it was hard to stay serious because Steffi couldn’t help but laugh her ass off after one of the photographers said stuff like “YES! YOU JUST GOT OUT OF THE BANK! THIS IS YOUR MONEY! PROTECT IT! SHOOT EVERYONE!” – I mean honestly, how were we supposed to make a serious and evil look into the camera then?!

But anyway, the photo shoot lasted about 3 hours and I had an absolutely amazing time. Definitely would do this again. John and Nick are both great people who do an amazing job.

I would like to say thank you, to John for inviting me, to Nick for being ana awesome guy, to Colin who owns the location and made sure we had enough drinks and food (I am very jealous that you own such beautiful cars :D), to Anne-Catrin for doing this great make up and to Steffi for coming with me. You are all amazing. Thanks a lot.

PS: John is still working on some of the pictures, since he took a LOT! He promised me he will upload more tonight, I'll keep you updated on my twitter and instagram :)
