About
The "Manor Muses 2:1 May Edition" was a memorable experience, taking us through some of Latvia’s most stunning historical estates. Starting at Oleri Manor, we were immediately surrounded by beauty and inspiration. Photographers and models dived into the creative process, making the most of the manor’s gardens and elegant rooms. Our home for the rest of the event was Igate Manor, where the surroundings continued to inspire and motivate us each day.
One of the best parts was how everyone connected. We bonded over shared meals, laughs, and new ideas, creating a vibrant, collaborative atmosphere. The final stop was Lielstraupe Castle, where the grand architecture challenged us all to think creatively and capture dramatic, powerful shots.
The 2:1 shooting ratio allowed for plenty of creative collaboration, with photographers working in pairs and experimenting with model duo and quartet setups. This made for some truly unique and unexpected images. Liva Šteina’s exquisite lingerie styling added a modern twist to the classic settings, perfectly blending historical elegance with contemporary fashion.
It was amazing to see photographers and models from all over the world come together to create something special. The diversity of ideas and perspectives made the event even more inspiring. Looking back, I’m grateful for the creativity and energy everyone brought to the event. It was more than just a photo shoot—it was a celebration of art and collaboration in some of Latvia’s most beautiful locations. I’m already looking forward to our next adventure.
