Turquoise Come Through Candy Camera & Instagram ;D

Perfumes: Thierry Mugler - Womanity

Was exceptionally psyched for this shoot, had

alot of fun prepping for it, and enjoying the fruits afterwards

as well. I have had Mugler's Womanity for some while now, 

but this was the first opportunity I got to get fresh figs. 

I consider Womanity one of my staple fragrances. I believe

in it, and it wears well on me. Do not be fooled by the name, this

is as universal as they come; truly enigmatic in its character as it

is unique. 

For more information on the scent itself go on over to Fragrantica or 

the Mugler Store 

#Enamoured

Came about a pondering bout doing a simple shoot

for a change, and decided on the name a day in July 

already, and tried to capture a shoot that fits it name

instead of the other way around. 

A lot of photos were taken, many didn't make it, as this

process is a lot more difficult for me than just letting it rip

and take photos at the spur of the moment and give a fitting

name afterwards, but a challenge I appreciated nonetheless. 

#MyAfricanAdventure

One of the reasons I did very little shoots during the month

of May was my trip to Northern Namibia, in a villiage near Oshikuku called 

Okathitu konkayi, very near to the Angolian border. 

For the past 15 or so years, I have always dedicated any of my

holidays going to South Africa, and I felt I needed to change that. 

Travel more, see more, explore more. This was the result of that 

that decision, which I call My African Adventure.

It was a cultural shock, to say the least. I felt prepared, but it was something

completely different. You rely on your body to get you where you want to go;

you quite literally work for your food.  

Take a look:

Beans

Mahangu, which is cultivated to make porridge, a staple food in the Ovambo culture.

There was no electricity, but trust MTC to provide network ;D

Kalabash cultivated. They are used for drinking out of

Kalabashes are dried and emptied, and a whole is made on the side.
Makes for an easy scoop of water

A hut on the Eastern side of the village. Not sure what was inside
it as it was camped off completely.

On our way to a nearby village. When I said nearby, it's 5km in total ;D

The family we visited in the village nearby. When they said they would
dish up pig, I didn't expect half of it's teeth would be involved as well ;D

Cows graze freely & openly.
