Shasta
“Shasta comes from Rwanda in Central Africa | a relatively small | landlocked country. She has strong family ties | and is proud of her origins. It was only by chance that I discovered her sedcard | and immediately found her fascinating. Photographing dark-skinned models in the Alps inevitably produces contrast-rich results | so we end up spending many hours in the mountains during a shoot. Surprisingly | Shasta has exceptionally good hiking equipment | and that motivates her to hike to the top of mountains whose peaks may still be hidden in the clouds. Unfortunately | the temperatures can be extremely fresh up high | but Shasta is brave and always ready to pose | even when the temperature is sometimes under 10 °C! In addition to modelling | Shasta designs and handmakes clothing in the fabrics | patterns and colors typical of her home country | ingeniously combining traditional African aesthetics with more modern | sensual styles. She doesn't need a model to show off her outfits as she does it all herself with selfies | of which she is the leading proponent! Of course | her experience behind the camera can be quite helpful when we're posing in complicated | demanding settings.” – Stefan Soell “Shasta | you are from Rwanda | this small landlocked country in Central Africa. You have strong ties to your homeland and family and are proud of where you come from. I only discovered your model set card by accident and you immediately fascinated me. There is hardly a greater contrast than photographing a colored model in the Alps. This is how we spend many hours of our shootings in the mountains. Surprisingly | Shasta has very good hiking equipment and that motivates him to climb the highest mountains above the clouds. Unfortunately the temperatures are chilly this far up in the Alps | but Shasta is always brave and ready to model | and it's sometimes below 10 degrees. In addition to modelling | she designs and sews clothing in the country's typical fabrics | patterns and natural colors. In an ingenious way | Shasta combines the traditional African clothing style with modern | sexy cuts. She doesn't need models for her fashion advertising photos | she is a modern selfie queen and photographs herself in her outfits. She also has experience behind the camera and that can be very helpful with complicated and demanding subjects.” – Stefan Soell German photographer Stefan Soell started taking pictures at the age of 15 and soon landscape and portrait photography became his favorite pastime. In addition to his amazing ability to choose the ideal background and the perfect equipment | he is brilliant at using the lighting conditions precisely. Stefan Söll is one of the few photographers who is able to realize the full potential of his models | to capture every nuance of their beauty.
