Dark 1920's Flapper Look by Nina and Muna

Hello dear readers,


in this post I would like to introduce you to two very talented Bosnian photographers. 
They both have a great eye for photography. Thanks again for your talent and friendship my dear ladies!
I have done photos with both on the same theme: Dark 1920's Flapper look inspired by the Great Gatsby style. The images that we shoot just come out absolutely amazing!


Okay... lets start with Nina Mašić.

What can i say about Nina's work? I don't thing there are the right words to describe her amazing sense for photography that she shows us constantly.
She knows how the capture the real meaning of a photo and the truths of the people in them. Her tones and concepts are fantastic. Her models, including herself are so stunning already but Nina's processing make the whole image even better.
This is not the first time I worked with Nina. I always enjoy posing in front of her camera. 






Name: Nina Mašić
 Born: 20.04.1990.

After she graduated from high school in her hometown Bihać (Bosnia & Hercegovina) she moved to Sarajevo to study graphic design on Academy of fine Arts. Nina discovered her interests in photography when she was 17, but got her first camera when she was 20, and since then she has worked and practicing everything about photography. She began with art photography, self portraiture and other types of photography before she found out that her biggest passion is fashion photography.  She also began finding joy in retouching photos, because to her it’s something that will make your work a distinctive and unique.

She quotes Natallia Taffare : “I find the retouching process an inspired way to take a good image and develop it in to something perfect, or to make a perfect image amazing. I’m a neurotic, detail maniac, control freak who thinks beauty is shown solely through the details. Everything has a hidden beauty and it’s my job to unleash it.“ She never knows exactly what’s going to happen at a photo session. She doesn’t allow herself to get too many specific ideas in her head so that she can be open to be inspired by a subject, location, and the light. Her only wish is to keep doing photography and retouching  forever. 



And here how the photos turned out by Nina

Muna Nazak is amazingly talented and her works are so unique and precious! 
She has been one of my favourite photographers, since the day I discovered her work.
The colors, poses, tones & composition all work so well together in every photo she takes.
 Her photos are too beautiful to look at. It's like I'm looking at the world I dream about but when I wake up - it's too good to be true. I love the nostalgic feeling in her photographs.
Muna is beautiful inside and out. Everytime she posts a new image, it's the same excitement, because your never know what you get. All you know is that it is going to be different, but yet amazing.





Name: Muna Nazak
Born: 24.03.1988.

Her name is Muna Nazak. She was born in Mostar and is 25 years old. Muna is studying Faculty of Law at the University of Sarajevo. What was her interest about becoming a photographer? The beauty of photography is that it captures moment into eternity, frozen in time. 
One photograph can describe whole story of thousand words. It is also one of the reasons for her strong commitment to photography. Where  she finds  inspiration to make her photographs? Simply everywhere: beauty, nature, different faces are all around us. What does she most love to photograph? People, nature, landscapes and animals. 
Muna's favorite qoute:
"Photography helps people to see."

Enjoy the photos I did with Muna

Let’s celebrate love and friendship every day!

Valentine's Day is just another day to celebrate love. Love comes in many forms, shapes, and opportunities 365 days a year, 24/7. The red hearts make us feel like love and happiness is all around, but Valentine's Day should be every day! Every day you should show your love and appreciation for each other in some way. An extra-long hug, a cup of tea/coffee, a smile, a phone call to say "I love you"… the list is endless. These little things go a long way and usually make your heart smile. That's how you keep romance alive. And, you should wear more than often the color of love: RED! Red is the colour of a heart & also roses - it signifies warmth & love. Throughout history, red has been the color of passion and romance. Red lips and blushed cheeks stimulate admiration and arousal. A red dress attracts attention and captures the imagination. 


I'm personally wearing very often red: earrings, dresses, cardigans, lipsticks, my nails are usually red and I love to add an interesting RED hat/fascinator to the whole outfit.


For the first outfit I decided to wear the Hearted-Cherry Fascinator by Jazzafine Pieces Full of Verve from Germany.



Hairstyle/Make-up by me

Yummy! And opulent ... A heart-shaped hat with love Allerlei: cherries, various springs in leaf green and poppy red, a double velvet bow from orig. Velvet ribbon from the 1960's.
A Fascinator, which could be premiered on Valentine's Day, but this reminds you every day or for other special occasions at one of the finest and most important things in life ...



The next one headpiece is called: Chapeaulina!


The names of the ChapeauLinas are the songs of Billie Holiday. And this here is "big stuff": Pure passion - Night Black and Burgundy Red. A lush fabric rose with a freshwater pearl in the middle, with elegant fine feathers. 
Fine veil - birdcage - in black, with dots - on a black flat fascinator. Attachment with comb.





And...the last one is Valentins Camelia Set 3 Roses called "Billies goes Jazzafine":


Valentine's Edition: made from special satin! 


The flowers of Billie Holiday in juicy colors! 

Delicate & very elegant. Opulent flowers in hair - beautiful in the bun or loose hair. The camellia, Billie Hoidays wore it so often.

As simple as it is, this flower suits almost all the dresses - whether tulle, lace, crepe or satin.

They also come in 5 sizes, ranging from Petite to Opera length.

1st stockings: Dita's Diamond Backseam

This is Dita's personal favorite for the Red Carpet! And it is no wonder with all the unique detail in this Diamond Backseam French Heel Full Fashioned Stocking. It is a masterpiece in every sense of the word; it takes hours to produce the intricate detail of this exclusive stocking. The Black welt has a fine Ivory Picot around the top, the black foot and diamond backseam contrast with Beige or Grey leg made of 15 denier ultra sheer nylon - Add our super soft finish and Dita's world famous logo and you have a fully fashioned stocking like no other.
Fabric Content: 100% Nylon; 15 Denier

I've been wearing these stockings all day and they haven't fallen down, laddered or disappointed me in anyway. Fully fashioned nylons are so sensual.




2nd stockings: Vintage Dot RHT


Secrets In Lace is the only company in the world who makes this dot pattern in 100% vintage nylon. We believe that the classics never go out of style! These stockings are smooth and light, making your legs look smooth and shapely. They've made these out of 100% 15 denier non stretch nylon and given them our famous Reinforced Heel and Toe treatment - also added our Secrets In Lace imprint on the welt for an extra touch of vintage detail. These stockings come in a wide array of colors and sizes, so there is literally a pair for everyone! Try classic black to spice up an every day work outfit, grey for an extra touch of sophistication, or white to go under your favorite summer dress.

Fabric Content: 100% nylon; 15 Denier



 I wear vintage, fully fashioned, seamed stockings every single day. I usually wear an open bottom girdle to hold them up but if I'm dressing more casual, I'll wear a garter belt instead. For me, though, "casual" means a summer dress or skirt and blouse.

When you want to look sexy - or feel sexy - I think stockings add just that right touch...





3rd stockings: Dita Glamour French Heel

This stocking is Dita's personal favorite and she wears this style at every opportunity. The Dita Glamour, with its contrasting colors, makes this Full Fashion stocking truly .. Glamorous! The Welt and foot are black with either a grey leg or beige leg. The French Heel treatment and Dita imprint on the welt add to the authentic nostalgic details.

4th stockings: Vintage Diamond RHT


Once again SIL created a true classic. Made of 100% 15 denier non-stretch nylon, these Reinforced Heel and Toe stockings have a subtle diamond pattern. The Secrets In Lace imprint on the welt adds to the authentic nostalgic details.
Fabric Content: 100% Nylon 15 Denier


I love the glamour of wearing stockings and suspenders; as soon and I put a pair on I’m transported to a bygone era where style and romance reign supreme.
