Shot in what appears to be a conservatory at the edge of autumn, the series is drenched in chiaroscuro. Deep burgundies, wilting hydrangeas, and thorny rose vines dominate the foreground, while Eva Blume herself emerges as the central, untamed force.
The signature image of Part 1 shows Blume half-submerged in a clawfoot bathtub filled with black water and floating marigolds. Her makeup is deliberate: smudged kohl eyeliner mimicking claw marks, with gilded pollen dusted across her cheekbones. She wears no costume in the traditional sense — instead, her body is wrapped in torn tulle and living ivy.
Fans of the avant-garde have already drawn comparisons to the works of Kirsty Mitchell and Tim Walker, but with a raw, nocturnal energy unique to Blume.

In the ever-evolving landscape of conceptual photography and visual storytelling, few names have generated as much whispered anticipation as Eva Blume. On December 8, 2023 (08.12.2023), the artist and model released the first installment of her latest series, titled Vixen Eva Blume in Blume Part 1 — a title that plays cleverly on the double meaning of “Blume” (German for “flower”) and her own surname.
Part 1, released exclusively via her private gallery and select art platforms, is not merely a photoset; it is a narrative overture. The 47-image collection redefines the archetype of the “vixen” — traditionally a symbol of cunning and sharp femininity — by cloaking her in organic decay and rebirth.
Photographer credits point to Lena Voss, known for her work with dark fashion editorials (Schön!, Metal Magazine). The lighting is almost entirely natural, shot during the "blue hour" and diffused through frosted glass. Voss commented briefly on Instagram:
“No digital retouching on the skin or plants. What you see is the sweat, the soil, the real Eva becoming the vixen.”
