Alanis Grethen was 22 when More Followers and info-lux.com published her series in April 2026. She introduces herself in a few words.
My name is Alanis Grethen. I’m 22 and I’ll turn 23 in October. I study history at the University of Trier, a subject I’m really passionate about. Alongside my studies, I have another passion: modelling.
Alanis Grethen, April 2026
For about a year, she has been taking this activity more seriously and is looking to develop it more professionally. She enjoys posing in front of the camera and working creatively, with different styles and different ideas.
Teacher, and model when life allows
Once she has finished her studies, she would like to teach history and pass on a passion. Modelling still matters a great deal to her, though: if a chance comes along to do more of it, or even make it her career, she says she is ready to take that path.
For me, the ideal would be to keep pursuing what I’m passionate about and what makes me happiest, and see where life’s opportunities take me.

Slipping into a role
What she enjoys about photo shoots is taking on a different character each time.
Each session is a new experience where you can take on another style, another personality or another mood, which makes every photo shoot unique and highly creative.

She also enjoys the make-up and preparation, which make her feel “almost like a princess, in an elegant and special way”.
The angel of Longuyon
For More Followers, Alanis becomes an angel: white dress, outspread wings, pearls and feathers, first in the light, then among the greenery. The series was photographed by Michel Fouarge at the Centre Saint-Jean in Longuyon, Lorraine.
She was surrounded by a team: Nanda Rodrigues, shoot coordinator and director of Mystère-Events; Valerie Calderini and Angélique Coll on the technical crew; artistic creations and hairstyles by Stéphane Piccioni, assisted by Karina Kipper; make-up by Valbona Barci; and a dress by Bona Stella Fashion.
When an angel brushes against nature, a ray of light lingers, revealing the secret the earth has always whispered.

Speaking of angels, do they exist?
Yes, I think angels exist in a way. But I don’t picture them in a visual form that we humans can see. To me, they are more a kind of energy or presence that stays with us and can help or guide us at certain moments in life.

The dream: a castle
Her dream photo shoot comes down to a single image.
I’d love to take part in a photo shoot with wedding dresses in a castle. The elegant, romantic atmosphere of a castle, combined with beautiful dresses, would be a truly special experience for me.
