My acquaintance with Lavinia was unexpected and very nice one. I wanted to do a shooting with one of her friends Beatriz – amazingly good looking and very charming girl from Spain (but about her in my next post 😉 ), and she asked me if she can bring with her a roommate. I’m always interested in meeting new people with their stories so of course I said yes.
I met Mikaela once we’ve arrived in Lisbon. She was discovering colourful corners of Lx Factory with one of her friends. A small charming girl with a warm smile, sparkling eyes and silky smooth skin – I just had to ask her for a shooting.. 🙂
For as long as I can remember I was always interested in unique and creative fashion brands. Although I lived in a very small country (Lithuania) that didn’t stop me from searching beautiful handmade pieces from all over the world. While others gave a priority to famous well known fashion brands I was always more interested in a story telling, uniqueness, attention to the details and sincerity. I liked to imagine that with each of those carefully handmade pieces I was also receiving a lot of love and a slice of that part of the world, it’s culture and vibes. LES.BASICS is definitely one of those kind of brands. I found them very accidentally on Instagram and fell in love from the first sight. But about my love and thoughts in the next post and now let’s meet Frederique Lessard, a founder of LES.BASICS.
I don’t shoot what is look like, I shoot what it feels like.. 🐚
Probably the thing I love the most when I’m behind the lens is the ability to create your own world, the way how do I see it, how do I feel it. I prefer to find some hidden spots and make them special rather than make the shootings in all those well known very crowded places which you can find in almost every social media account. I believe that imperfections not perfections make things beautiful. Maybe that’s why I’m going to Portugal so often. Here you can find so many different beaches: wild, unknown, rugged and each has a story to tell…
