making of – the king of bows and arrows and chicken teriyaki. my friend the artist stephanie bothor is doing a very exciting art project. a card game: bliss! see more about the project in the interview below the pictures. I was invited to join the making of, of the king of bows and arrows. i haven’ t seen her for a while, so i was very curious and looking forward to meet her again. when i saw the pictures from her project “bliss” i thought, WOW! they are amazing. have a look on her project page and support her work there to make it happen. with just a few euro you can help stephanie to create this beautiful and mystical card game. or visit the blog to follow the process of the game.
stephanie a really, really lively and bubbly person, was absolutely relaxed and focused doing the photographs. the decision which picture she wanted to use, was made in just a few minutes. ah, when i think about my “selection-processes” … endless. after the shooting she cooked the teriyaki chicken in the same focused way she made the pictures and her husband matthias joined us for dinner.
i also had the pleasure to meet patricia, who is part the project as well and a very beautiful and charming person who i am planning to photograph as well, but pssst ..haven’t told her so far.
