Tamara joined forces with the ‘Viking-shoot’ production. Bart Uytterhaegen requested a total new viking outfit line for the illustrations of his upcoming book. At this point production is even contemplating to illustrate Viking children, but that’s still on the brainstorm-table. Tamara will also be modeling in the shoot herself, which is a must!

Tamara took a recent trip to Iceland and made some powerful shots of the amazing Viking landscape. She agreed to release some of them for the upcoming book publication. Enjoy!

The pictures give a very good impression of the harsh landscape the Vikings had to face. Both beautiful and daunting alike.

Tamara Bungeneers is an amazing entry into the project because she has done pagan ritualistic work and is well known in the art of energetic guidance (Seidr in Norse paganism). Her botanic interests combined with energetic work surrounding moon and mother Earth gives us the edge needed to flesh out some of the deeper dimensions of the Völva and her Seidr tradition.

The ‘Viking shoot’ production will fabricate four or five dresses to accommodate the selected models. At this point Tamara is thinking about fabric, colour and attributes in her creative process to flesh out the Viking look.

Tamara has chosen green color for the second female dress. In order to reproduce that strong, rough Viking cloth she used a canvas fabric. It looks absolutely amazing and has an authentic feel to it.

Creating these dresses is a very important part in the overall process of finishing the second UAP-book. Tamara her viking dress-production is intensive and needs complete focus on what the Viking culture really entails.
