3 of 7 deadly sins Part I

Yesterday I had the first shooting of my 7 deadly sins project.
This day I was shooting gluttony, rage and avarice.
The day bevor I baked 80 Muffins with my Mom for the gluttony shooting.

I had dresses from two designers. The first one was Fräulein Mieze and the second "Isago Couture" by Isabell Goder


My bedroom was converted in our shoe cabinet.
Onk was there as my assistent and helping hand. And made the most behind the scene photos.


While our MUA Elisabeth Berrens was making Isys Hair and Make-up Onk and me made Kates Nails for the rage shooting.



During this time Onk, Kate and me prepared the treasure chest (made by my Dad) for the avarice shooting.

Featured in Photography Monthly II

In September 2009 I was featured again in the UK Magazin Photography Monthly.

Today the lovely and very talented Calisto Photography was so kind to send me the page of the magazin with my photo.

As you see, there is a little mistake. Instead of "Kiara Katharina Schimmel" or "Kiara Black Photography" the Magazin wrote "Kiara XD" as the photographer

First days of the new year

I think, this year could be very great!
I have a new job! The print office, where I made my education as a mediadesigner couldn't take me after my education. But now my training supervisor has a new job in an other office and so they asked me, if I would have his job!!!
Totally amazing!

I'm planing a big Photoproject for this year, with many models, a few MUAs and Hairstylist and maybe one or two fashion designer.
It will begin in the time of march.

I'm very hopefull that this project could be puplished in magazins.
So if you are a Designer with a bit extraordinary clothings and accessories, living in Germany and are interested, to be a part of this project, don't be shy and ask.
