Photoshoot report – F for fashion 2015: The Wedding, by Bob Mans

20/08/2015 | 1 Reactie

good version

June this year, out of the girls that are a part of the F for fashion show of 2015, I have been chosen out of the group of new models to be one of the two models for theΒ poster/promotional shoot of the Wedding fashion show. This is together with a model that has already been part of one of the previous shows.
Juni dit jaar, van alle meisjes die een deel zijn van de F for fashion show van 2015, ben ik gekozen uit de groep van nieuwe modellen om een van de twee modellen te zijn voor de poster/promotie shoot van de ‘The Wedding’ Fashion show. Dit is samen met iemand die ook een model is geweest voor een van de vorige shows.

For the photoshoot, we were asked not to put on any make-up on due to the make-up and hair that would be done at the foto shoot location later. After a cup of coffee and chatting with everybody,Β our MUAH started by doing our hair. My hair was put into a half loose half up hairstyle with curls.
For my make-up she decided to give me dark red lips with a hint of purple because of my dress. My eyes got natural colours with a little amount of mascara. On my cheeks I got a slight hint of a pink blush with a little brown mixed through it. This was in my opinion a very beautiful make-up look, and so was the hair!
Voor de shoot, was aan ons gevraagd geen make-up op te doen wegens de visagie die gedaan zou worden op de locatie. Na een kop koffie en kletsen met iedereen, begon onze visagiste met ons haar. Mijn haar was in een half los, half vast kapsel verandert met krullen. Voor mijn make-up besloot ze me donker rode lippen te geven met een hint van paars wegens mijn jurk. Mijn ogen kregen natuurlijke tinten met een beetje mascara. Op mijn wangen kreeg ik een erg zachte tint van roze, gemengt met bruin als boventoon. Dit was in mijn mening een prachtige make-up look, en ook het kapsel

After having diner with everybody of the crew, we got to wear our specialized dress. Our photographer: Bob Mans, arrived a short while after that together with his girlfriend.
The team helped us with lifting our dresses when we went outside.
Na onze avondmaaltijd met de groep, kregen we onze op maat gemaakte jurken aan. Onze fotograaf: Bob Mans, kwam een kort moment later met zijn vriendin binnen. Het team hielp ons met het tillen van onze jurken op weg naar de buitenplaats waar de shoot zou plaatsvinden.

The Lexus arrived and then we could start the shoot. Our photographer told us how to pose to check which pose would look best for the photo.
Na de aankomst van de Lexus konden we met de shoot beginnen. Β Onze fotograaf vertelde hoe we moesten poseren en we namen een aantal verschillende positief aan om te kijken wat het beste zou uitpakken voor de foto.

When we got to see a preview of the picture, which was quite like this due to the filter lens which created the coloured background, everybody of the F for Fashion team got very exited, I was so amazed!
This has been my most amazing photoshoot ever, and the one I am most thankfull about.
I can not explain how amazing it feels to, as a person that has been bullied for the biggest part of her life (I am very open about this), to have your face on a big poster spread across alot of places in your hometown (which is one of the larger cities in the Netherlands) And not only on a big poster, it has been visible in the News Paper of my town, on flyers, websites and many on other things like the huge banner on the ’theater at the parade’ I felt so happy!
Toen we een sneak-peek van de foto te zien kregen, die het eind resultaat heeft gekregen (qua achtergrond en belichting) door een filter lens, was iedereen van het F for fashion team erg enthousiast, ik was zo onder de indruk van het resultaat! Dit is mijn meest prachtige shoot ooit, en de foto shoot waar ik het meest dankbaar voor ben. Ik kan niet uitleggen hoe geweldig het voelt, als iemand die voor het grootste deel van haar leven is gepest (ik ben hier vrij open over), om je gezicht jaren later op grote posters verspreid door je thuis stad (een van de grotere steden in Nederland) te zien. En niet alleen op een grote poster op verschillende plaatsen, maar het is ook te zien geweest in de krant, flyers, verschillende websites, maar ook op de grote poster van het theater aan de parade. Ik voelde me zo enthousiast!

Part 2 ✨I’m not scared to admit the things that shaped me β€” not just the glamorous highlights, but the quiet truths behind the scenes.

From jealousy and gossip that tried to dim my light,
to scars that disqualified me from dreams I once chased.
From assumptions about how I travel,
to the silent strength it takes to stay soft in a harsh world.

No plastic, no shortcuts, no pretending.
Just me β€” trying, dreaming, healing, glowing.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, or just deeply human…
this one’s for you.

(Read the back story) ✨ Vulnerability is not weakness, it’s power in truth.

I’m 28 β€” and not scared to admit the things that shaped me.
Not the polished version, not the filtered journey β€” but the real one.

Despite international feedback ranking me top 3 in pageants, I kept getting overlooked. That’s what drained my fire sometimes to keep going. 

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing your best while the world just kept passing you by… this is for you.

Let’s stop pretending.
Let’s be brave enough to say: this is me.
Unfiltered. Still standing. Still trying. Still glowing.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE being single. It’s more about wanting something real in a society of a lot of fakeness. 

Let me know if you want a part 2

Share this with someone who needs to feel seen today.

Special story πŸŒ·πŸ‡³πŸ‡± My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) πŸ•ŠοΈ

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city β€” he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember β€” and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.
