An ingot of a man.You rise from rooftops and build bridges from scrap. A hero to us all but only for me. My invulnerable man. You claimed to have saved me. From the clanging creatures in cities you created. So you abandoned me amongst these desolate trees and forsaken leaves.
"It will be okay." Your cold whispers shivered my skin. I leaned against your malleable touch, painted gold by the sun but copper in my eyes. Your obsidian stare held mine. So you can say, "I will always be here."
But then you turned to rust. For your iron-clad heart and brass knuckles, corroded against my saline tears.

I had the pleasure of having a photoshoot with Mujahid Johar this week. A photoshoot we rescheduled three times in one week. Finally we did! We were able to capture these amazing shots!
The location and its aesthetic remained a mystery until the day. So I had to rush through figuring out an outfit. Only aware that it was 'industrial' and 'desolate.' I begged my friend to style an outfit together. It consisted of pieces I've already featured. She picked my Cat Hat worn many, many times and this graphic tee also worn many times. The Ripped Boyfriend Jeans to add style in my closet and Prada heels to add class. 'Geek chic' as she called it.
I had an absolute blast taking photos with him! Even if I was sweating so much my foundation started to run. Which it did. Even if the terrain proved to be an enemy for heels. Which it was. Even if we had hopped over rusted sheers and broken glass. Which we did.
Oh, the lengths we trudge over for good photos.
Johar is a fantastic photographer. He has an eye-catching aesthetic and the rare ability to see the world how others don't. You can check out his portfolio on his Instagram or on his website.
How far have you gone to take a good photo?
I love the fierce look!

Looks amazing! Beautiful pictures.

Johar as a photographer and you as a model both made this photoshoot as perfect as it is! I can't even start telling you how amazing it is, babe! Well done! Needless to say, you look smashing.

But hey, at least you have good photos and good memories to look back to, right? I dunno why but it's so hard to take the first few paragraphs seriously when I see that suuuuper cute cat hat. It just makes everything so much more adorable!! I love the look of boyfriend jeans and heels - very laid back, but very classy, too!

I absolutely love your writing, you have such a beautiful way with words! Also, absolutely incredible photos, you are so beautiful and these shots belong in a magazine, honestly! I could never tell that you struggled in those heels, you look so poised and elegant! Beautiful post dear! xxxxx

Love these photos. You guys did an AMAZING job, it's super rad.
ReplyDeleteI am sure people do the craziest thing to capture perfect photos. I once climbed a ladder all the way up to a tree and placed my book there to take a perfect (mystic) shot. I almost tripped over, but fortunately nothing like an accident occurred.

Did you write that? Amazing! I'm really impressed :D
ReplyDeleteAnd the outfit is so cool,love the photos and your styling matches the surroundings so well! Such a good post, I give it 10/10 ^^
How far have I gone to take a good photo? Some of these include going to the tops of the buildings (which I maaaybe wasn't allowed to... haha), almost falling off a bridge and into the lake and freezing at -17 to take a good photo of a bird in the snow. X)

I love your photos. This outfit is perfect for the location as well as just about anywhere else. I love it head to toe. You look so chic. I can't remember the last time I was sweating when taking pictures. It has not been that warm here in Chicago for a while now. Now I'm complaining about the cold. I know in July it will be about the heat again. I wish it could just stay perfect all year round, but then I guess I would have to move. haha! BTW I'm obsessed with your shoes!
