Chie Mihara #2
Hello from California! I arrived here two days ago and jet lag hit hard. It usually takes a couple of days for me to get over it. I'm pretty much zoning out now, but happy and thankful to be here. This year is going to be exciting in a lot of ways!
This shoot is a continuation of the last post with Chie Miharas. I did this editorial with a friend, who is also interested in fashion photography. It was a lot of fun! We wanted to have some movement in the photos and the green Nike cap gives the style a glimpse of edginess. I bought this golden dress from the States already a couple of years ago and I'm glad I did. When I saw it, it made me feel like royal. There was something about the golden dress.
The meanings of colors had never struck me before. But later on I started to pay more attention to them. Most of us are not aware of the meanings of colors or care about what colors we wear. Did you know that they actually release things?
The golden color in general is mostly associated with achievements, abundance as well as value. But it is not only a color of prosperity. At the uppermost level gold is associated with higher ideas, wisdom and understanding. It is said to inspire knowledge, spirituality and a deep understanding of the self and the soul. In the meanings of colors gold is also generous and giving, compassionate, fun, loving, confident and eye-catching. Gold has long been associated with royalty alongside purple.
When reading about the meanings of colors, I realized that the negative side has a lot to do with fears; fear of success, failure and trust. All of us most likely face these fears at one time or another... I know I have. But the truth is that what ever we reflect on, we become. We actually become a mirror reflection to what we behold in our hearts and transform into what we behold. That said, I want to encourage you to step out as well and face your fears. Let Love in. Let's be people of inspiration and see the gold in each other!
Hope you have a golden week!
Intricately yours,
Marjo
