Kim – An Interesting Day Indeed
I had been following Kim’s Instagram for quite a while and always liked her slightly chaotic feed a lot. I had contacted her mid 2019 for the first time and also asked about the prospect of a shooting with her. We exchanged a few friendly lines but she never really answered my request for taking photos together.
Then in February I unexpectedly received a message from Kim. She had completely overlooked my text about the photoshoot and apologised sincerely. She said she really liked my photos and would love to work with me.

We finally met on the 14th of September. I parked my car in front of the terraced house at Kim’s address. I grabbed my camera bag – just in case – and walked up to the front door. *rrrrrrng*
It didn’t take long before Kim opened the door. I had already expected a flamboyant personality, nonetheless it took me a second to take it all in: Dark red lipstick, piercings, bright aquamarine coloured fringe with colourful dreads hanging over her left shoulder and a sidecut on the other side. She wore a kind of hoody that was so short it showed her pale flat belly. Around her hips she sported a black frilly tutu. I was greeted happily.
Kim led me to her flat. I instantly noticed that her Instagram wasn’t the only thing in her life that was slightly chaotic. I took off my shoes in the hallway, dropped them on a heap together with the other shoes and started collecting dog hair with my socks while following Kim to her living room.

For now I am winter
We made an appointment for the session with Agnieszka without seeing each other earlier – very unprofessional 🙂
But after a short while over a coffee in a cafe, it turned out that this place is perfect for taking pictures and that we have a lot in common, which we would like to share in those pictures.

OBSESSION
At the Seafront
Everything changes and moves – things and people are appearing and then vanishing again. Only one person is hunkering down, being the immobile center of the floating world: the photographer with her camera. She’s a Gorgon who finds her ambiguous delight in turning everything she sees into wondrous and everlasting stones.
Sehnsüchte
Es sind Sehnsüchte,
die ich zeigen möchte mit meinen Bilder.
Sehnsüchte wie z. B. nach wärme, Geborgenheit, Vertrauen und Intimität, wie sie in jeden von uns schlummern.
Schlummern und uns als Mensch ausmachen.
Es sind die Gefühle die ich festhalten möchte und nicht die Oberfläche.
Den gegenüber als Muse erfahren.
Achtung/Attention! – Preiserhöhung / Price increase
Achtung, STRKNG erhöht zum 1.1.2021 die VIP-Gebühren!
Es ist die erste Erhöhung seit unserer Gründung in 2014.
Wer das STRKNG-Konzept mag, sich optimal präsentieren und uns zugleich unterstützen möchte, für den ist es nun also ein guter Zeitpunkt, zum alten Preis noch schnell einzusteigen oder den bestehenden VIP-Account zu verlängern.
Die Jahresgebühr beträgt ab dem neuen Jahr 48 EUR (bisher 36 EUR), die Zweijahresgebühr 84 EUR (bisher 63 EUR), die Dreijahresgebühr 115 EUR (bisher 86 EUR).
Wir arbeiten derzeit übrigens an einem neuen Bereich "Nur für Sponsoren", welcher dann nur von VIP-Mitgliedern genutzt werden kann.
Das eigene Portfolio kann damit mit exklusiven Inhalten für persönliche Sponsoren erweitert werden.
Launch ca. 12/2020
Attention, STRKNG will increase the VIP fees on January 1st, 2021!
It is the first increase since we were founded in 2014.
For those who like the STRKNG concept, want to present themselves optimally and at the same time support us, it is now a good time to get in quickly at the old price or to extend the existing VIP account.
As of the new year, the annual fee is EUR 48 (previously EUR 36), the two-year fee is EUR 84 (previously EUR 63), and the three-year fee is EUR 115 (previously EUR 86).
By the way, we are currently working on a new area "For sponsors only", which can then only be used by VIP members.
Your own portfolio can thus be expanded with exclusive content for personal sponsors.
Launch around 12/2020
