Your Dearest

On a wonderful Saturday I got to torture my lovely friend Robin. She is a bit camera shy but I think the final outcome is gorgeous<3

Crash & Burn

I have been drained of inspiration lately. Just seems like everything I do is not as good as it could be. Haven't had support or encouragement either so that's that. I am currently struggling with 2 shoots and I don't know why but I guess my idea of a break is to just edit sometihng personal where I can do just as I please, not the client. So I edited a bunch of pictures in Lightroom for a change, just to remember how it worked. More pictures on my portfolio- http://astraete.4ormat.com/crash-burn
These were done with my new lens which I got last week, Sigma 17-70. Yum!

Proper portfolio and new projects

I have decided to go with my photography to the max. After talking to some people and getting inspired by their tales (and scared by their threats to beat me up if I don't get off my lazy ass) I realized I've been extremely lazy about photography, although I consider it to be one of the few things I enjoy in life at the moment. I realized I need to do things and not let time slp away like I did last year. This year it's all about me and I hope I will progress and create much more than I did during my first year of experimentation.

I decided to put up my official portfolio which can be found here: http://astraete.4ormat.com/ I like that it is minimalistic and clean (:

I'm also in the process of designing my business card but that will take a while since I'm not that good at Illustrator, haha.

I've got 4 projects going on and I've still not edited them..I have 2 self-portrait shoots I did some time ago, one client work ( a clothing collection) and a pretty girl I took photos of today (: It's a lot of stuff to edit so my schedule is quite tough at the moment but I'll try to edit them by the end of next week and upload them here aswell as on my portfolio (:

I will still be posting outfit and style stuff since I feel like I want to make this blog a bit more personal and not just about photography. I hope you enjoy it!

Be a Boy

Tomboy?- New Lookbook post

I'm experimenting with style. I have so much stuff in my closet that I don't wear for some strange reason.Take this jacket, for example. It's by Firetrap, a badass company that makes badass clothes. I've worn it twice, shame on me.


Ooh ooh also if you're into cyberpunk and sci-fi related music, i found a cool playlist Cyberpunk playlist

Spring and promises

I've completed editing the colourfully dark photos for the spring series (: Enjoy!



New Portfolio and projects

You know youre a scrub when it takes you over 2 hours to figure out how the hell to setup a portfolio in Tumblr.
I decided to make a new portfolio page for which I wouldn't need to pay for now so Tumblr seemed liek a good idea. I have never coded any pages or anything so I spent such a long time trying to figure out how the hell am I supposed to separate all my pages, redirect stuff, edit HTML code etc. I feel like I did what I could and it look good to me for now (:
 Link here: My official portfolio

I also decided to synchronize my blog and porfolio by adding the same colour theme and header so there would be some coherence between the two. I suppose I'll be adding more photography-related things here from now on. '

The photo in header is from my new project. I have about 2-3 more pictures from the shoot that I will edit and post online, so this is the first taste, so to say (: I'm just experimenting with colours and textures, hope you like it! More to come soon (:

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name







I went out to shoot some photos for my portfolio and thought I might aswell show you what I wore during the shoot. It's surprisingly warm here now and I was shooting without jacket most of the time, so nice. I will post the outcome here, maybe. I usually post my photos on Flickr or Deviantart/500px, though.
