"I've always been fascinated by the medieval world—whether Scandinavian, Celtic, Saxon, or Saracen—and I've been especially drawn to the legends of these cultures. As a child, I eagerly sought out books on the subject, and as I grew older, I wanted to experience it beyond the pages.

That’s how I ended up with this beautiful horse, raising him since he was a foal, learning sword fighting, and practicing archery. The only thing missing was dressing the part.

So when Julieta told me about her makeup artistry, I didn’t hesitate for a second and said, "I want Viking-style makeup!" But why stop there? I decided to wear an outfit true to the era, and to capture the moment, we invited two talented photographers to take the photos.

And then I thought—why not include the horse too? And so, between the stunning makeup and an extended photoshoot, I felt like a goddess! I was the happiest model in the world—and I had never been a model before!" — S.P.
