Before we start, let me take a minute of your time and let you know that you can be part of Project L – by contributing on Patreon. Patreon is kind of a kickstarter that’s running all the time – it doesn’t focus on one huge production, but on an ongoing project such as Project L.
By joining Patreon and supporting Project L you’ll get exclusive photos, upcoming videos, blog posts and Q&A with the models. Plus you’ll see upcoming projects before anybody else sees them.
If you’ve got some spare cash and the benefits interest you, go sign up – it’s really easy and helps me push the project even further. And no, it’s not necessary. And no, Project L will still remain free – preferably even free of those silly ads, too!
For more info, go check Photour’s Patreon at http://patreon.com/tuomas or click that banner below.
Now, back to our scheduled Project L.
Sometimes we get an idea that we follow through laughing, even though it doesn’t include “everyday life” in a way Project L aims to showcase. But then again, a latex catsuit could by all means be the everyday outfit of a dictator from Middle Uusimaa. That’d be awesome.
Every single day I commute to my university I pass by this silly sign advertising Kerava. And every single week it seems that a new graffiti has been painted on it. Besides that, I’ve been taking a film narration class on school with a heavy emphasis on dystopian future.
Kerava’s services have also been closing down one by one during the last few years; shopping centres, businesses shutting down, empty offices in the centre – even the busy railroad station shutting down!
Then it hit me. Kerava’s already turning into a dystopia – why shouldn’t I emphasise it in the ways of satire, and perhaps sneak in a bit of shiny outfits.
I called a friend of mine to borrow his Swedish army’s surplus Scania SBA111 and some replica weapons to convey the message I wanted to push through.
As usual, the behind the scenes and outtake photos will be a few days later (earlier on Patreon). Plus the 34th Project L has been already shot and it’s scheduled for the next Sunday!
Taking accord of every bad thing that people with firearms have done lately, I feel that I must clarify a few things before you scroll into photos.
DISCLAIMER: The weapons presented in the photos are not authentic firearms; they are merely replicas of such and thus cannot be used to fire lethal projectiles. The poses, weaponry and such presented in this project are a work of satire and do not convey any kind of attempt to threaten anything or anybody. Eastern Uusimaa police and Kerava’s emergency response centre were both informed in advance of the photoshoot.

Great “shoot” !!!
Excellent shoot!
Very green theme. The models red hair should be a nice contrast, which I fail to appreciate due to my Dichromasia (trouble distinguishing certain shade of red, and also some shades of green). So I found myself wondering how the setting would look with a bright red catsuit. But others would certainly find that a conflicting contrast with her hair :-(
BTW: I checked some other episodes, but could not find the model’s name. Does she wish to stay anonymous? Since she is starring in the majority of your best shoots it would be a pity referring to her only as ‘model’.
Hello, and thank you for your thorough feedback!
As the models are volunteers – students, friends, people who like to model – I never require anybody to give out their name nor do I require any aliases to be given. Usually I give three options; forename, alias or no name at all.
I usually go out to give the models as much freedom of speech in the project as I possibly can. In example, before anything is published anywhere, I roll the photos before the models’ eyes so they can pull out the images they do not find appealing.
That is certainly a good reason, full agreement. I expected nothing less about you treating the models.
Still a pity that there’s no name to address my praises :-)
Sadly ( The do more nice sets with her =)
MOAR of her!!!
