* I am a 32 years old art passionate self taught artist

* I do photography. Not manipulations (exceptions are written under the artwork). I do not arrange my face to look prettier, that kind of shit, my purpuse is to give emotions into art not to promote myself !

* I have many different influences : gothic, fetish, retro, pin-up, conceptual, dark, baroque, romantique, rockabilly ... I hate narrow minded people - thoughts and art, differences are what makes us richer !

* I feel more interest into showing a concept, an idea, a reflection or an emotion than to show current fashion pic like gothic ones use to be. I use to write a text linked to my artwork and try to tell a story or an idea, to make you THINK and FEEL. Even if beauty is part of the photography play, it's NOT a purpose to me. I do NOT show pretty clothes and pretty persons with no personnality and nothing to say ...

* I do not pretend to be professional ! As said higher, I am self taught, I learn every day by practising and looking at other artists incredible works.

* I do not have a real good camera, I have the project to buy one better as soon as possible.

* I am open for comissions. Please e-mail me at kirsten-haken@hotmail.fr
_ I can do modeling in Limoges and move myself in the country if necessary (and paied).
_ I can work for you to edit a publicity, booklet, make a picture for your book and so on ...
_ I can sell some of my artwork and re rrange them if you want
But please, remember I will NEVER do anything nude or vulgar, you will not loose your time and me neither, no need to ask, thanks.

* I love comments and constructive help and advice, I always want to learn more. Do not be afraid of telling me what you think !

* Models you see on my pictures are just models. They can be friends or strangers making the job for me but I do NOT show my private life here. One male model is NOT my boyfriend even if we play the couple for a shoot, thanks for no confusion. It's boring to reapeat oneself and justify an artwork with private elements ...
