1- What inspired you to do modeling? Was there a point early in your life that sparked your interest?

 Some years ago I’ve met a photographer who was looking for alternative models, and he asked me if I would like to model for him. I went to his studio with a very big bag of clothing to get my first alternative pictures ever done! I’ve enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere a lot and the pictures as well of course. He gave me a few tips where I could meet other photographers and models. I’ve started to build a portfolio and never thought of quitting ever since.

 2- You have dark elements to your style, was there an event or moment that made you decide on your style?

 No, not really. I realized that I was listening to other music than my classmates. I listened to bands like Linkin Park, Crazy Town and Papa Roach back then. My mom gifted me some band shirts and my closet was slowly turning black.
The cyber gothic style always amazed me. The platform boots, the corsets, the short skirts, the hair and the goggles. I loved it all. So I’ve started to go to underground parties and dress more and more cyber-like. I’ve added a little SaphirNoir flair to my outfits and my own style was born!

3- Name some of your favourite music or bands?

 I have many bands I listen to. My favourites are: SITD, VNV Nation, Welle Erdball, Grendel, X-rX, Agonoize, Combichrist and Zeromancer. These are the ones I can think of now, but there are many, many more!

4- Name some of your accomplishments or highlights of your career so far?

 I’m extremely flattered every time a company asked me to model for them. I enjoy those assignments the most! A few highlight are: My long term collaboration with Attitude Holland as a catalogue model and runway model, my assignments for the Two Wizards Shop and the runway shows for Ultra Violet. During the Ultra Violet Runway shows I’m dancing on stage. I love that!

5- Do you enjoy regular photoshoots? or ones where you get to play a character?

 No matter, if I’m wearing my ‘normal’ cyberclothing or a nurse- or schoolgirl costume, I’ll make sure that the entire setting is breathing Saphirnoir! My favourite themes are psycho nurse and kitty cat. I love theme photoshoots because you can create an interesting atmosphere by adding small items like syringes and medical bottles or cat ears and toy mice. When it comes to my regular photoshoots, I love beautiful industrial locations like stairs and bridges most.

 6- What other interest do you have besides modeling?

 I love horseriding. I’ve started when I was only seven years old. Riding in the forest and the mountains I enjoy most. Apart from riding I love gaming, designing, travelling, shopping, clubbing, dancing and hanging out with friends.

7- Are there any significant projects or events you are looking forward to in the coming months?

 I have some very big plans for 2013! But I don’t want to reveal too much yet. I have some photoshoots planned with some very talented photographers, mainly based in Germany. I have some product shoots planned and even a small project where I’m working as a guest designer and model!

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style? I always felt kind of different to all other children… it was a little problematic, because they didn’t understand my way
