OUR FIRST 2019 BODY INSTALLATION

Our Body Installations are shoot events where I aim to bring together min10 max 25 naked , younique bodies together in a private space, many times in nature. each shoot is themed and invidual and group portraits are created. these shoots are free, for anyone over the age of 20 and requires you to sign a model release form that states you are off age and are awre of what you are about to do, just in case you plan on changing your mind later, dont worry, take some time and when you are fully sure this is something fo you, we will be around and if you prefer a private shoot just for you then we can absolutely do that with pleasure. :)

each year we host three of these ceremonies and since 2020 we will start offering delicious, heart opening, plant medicinal raw cacoa and intention setting to help guide us into and through the shoot mindfully.

In 2019 we had a magical ceremony over at the theatre scholl windhoek and it was such a blast, so many magical bodies came and created space with me, shared themselves and leaped into a better more Authentic self love. Thank you to all the Muse who showed and loved. till next one. Namaste

The colouring of this set is purposefully grandgy, off, red, raw, fleshy. these are far from just "Photographs"they are giving birth to new ideas and feelings constantly.

breathe in. breathe out.

enjoy.

The idea is to be as free as possible, move your body, feel your body. heal your insecurities by seeing how perfect and whole you truly are. there only one YOU.

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”

― May Sarton

When we come together, bare and authentic, we show others that its okey to love your body and appreciate your differences.

“Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.”

FREEING MYSELF

This session was special. i love to watch people who are determined about their healing and dreams even when they dont know how or when yet. every person i get to work with, touch me deeply as i can see a part of my being inside their bare raw being, this is why i Deeply appreciate what i do, this purpose. I can learn about myself from each unique body and expression. grateful.

We are all different. Don’t judge, understand instead.

A GLIMPSE INTO MY SOUL

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”
― Brené Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead

“Dear Young Black Males, It’s okay to be different. Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Have courage! Follow your dreams, no matter how BIG your dreams may seem. Attitude is everything! Make sure that you keep a positive one, in spite of any obstacles that may come your way. Don’t be so quick to give up, and please remember that self-discipline is your friend. Be strong, persevere, and most importantly, BELIEVE in yourself. Don’t listen to anybody’s negativity. Move forward knowing that you CAN and you WILL. Be unstoppable!”
― Stephanie Lahart

 

We spoke to our Brave model about why he made the choice to take this step into loving himself fully and this is what he had to say.:

"See. The thing is I always craved freedom. So I decided to manifest my perception of freedom through nudity,and guess what it worked out perfectly for me and the photographer haha :)

I've never been comfortable with myself like at all because I've always wanted to be like Jason Samoa LMFAO 😂

But being in a closed space with JuliaArt in Windhoek East made me feel like I can't be touched. I advise my future seeds to be as comfortable. Because social media shouldn't the reason why you're not."

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.”
― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

For the longest time in my carreer it was really hard to find black models, especially males, people would say, yeah nice art but its clearly for white people because KAMA nudity is un african liiiiike, can we ban this thought in 2020 please? Our ancestors roamed the earth bare, often only covered for warmth during winter in animal skins and adornments from nature, we are nature.

Flash forwad to 2018/2019 and i get the honour of working with the black male form. The black man needs alot of love and care. the black man need to rediscover himself and his power.
