Ines calls herself SEELENFotogräfin and this expression hits the nail on the head. Actually, I wanted nothing more than to make my joie de vivre available for the second edition of the "50 over 50" project. However, after the first meeting for the preliminary discussion, I already had the feeling that I could and wanted to tell Ines EVERYTHING about myself, so that she would be able to capture me with all my inherent and sometimes confusing personalities.
And that's exactly what she or we really managed to do. I actually told her some of my most bizarre secrets before, during and even after the shoot - because I felt safe, secure and accepted. The result is a wonderful potpourri of wonderful photos of me in my entire spectrum from classic-elegant to glamorous, fun-loving and exuberant, casual-casual to mega-cool and almost wicked. And I'm actually all of these things myself and don't look "posed" in any of the pictures. Actually, I hardly had the feeling of being "posed" during the shoot, apart from a few minimal head or hand movements, which only a professional photographer with a trained eye can make you do. A thousand thanks to you, dear Ines, for this wonderful day, which almost replaced a therapy session, and the equally great results.
P.S. Our mutual openness during the post-processing of the shoot with photo selection also led to us realizing how much the two of us surf on the same wavelength and may also represent the beginning of a real friendship. This is probably not typical of Ines' relationship with her clients. But it wouldn't have been possible in this short time if she hadn't generally led to me "opening up" to her in this way.
