Behind the Scenes: Our photo shoot adventure with mymochi!
After our big mymochi photo shoot in the summer, which took place at various locations in and around Coburg, we invited our three models - Selina, Lina and Felix - to come back. Together, we had a relaxed chat about their experiences and gained exciting insights into their perspectives on the shoot. What was it like for them to be in front of the camera? What were their favorite moments? And which mymochi should definitely not be missing in their homes?

The paths to the mymochi adventure were as different as the three models themselves: Selina found out about the photo shoot from her mom, who works at NICI - a stroke of luck! Her school friend Lina was asked straight away if she would like to take part. And Felix? He found out about it while playing GTA - one phone call from Selina later and he was there too. Of course, spontaneous decisions are often the best.
For Lina and Felix, it was their first time in front of a professional camera, while Selina had already modeled for NICI many years ago.
When asked whether they had prepared specifically for the shoot, all three replied with a laugh: “Not at all, we just let it come to us.”
Nevertheless, there were a few challenges!
“The acting was definitely a challenge,” Selina admits. Felix found it more relaxed: “You just had to let yourself go a bit.”
The shoots took place at different locations - between a beautiful, cozy apartment in the city center and the cinema on the sunny park grounds. When asked about their favorite location, opinions were divided: Selina and Lina felt more comfortable indoors because they weren't watched as much there. Felix, on the other hand, loved the outdoor scenes, which scored points thanks to the beautiful weather and the variety of possibilities. What everyone enjoyed equally, however, were the different scenes - from the welcome scene to the food moments with sushi and bubble tea on the cinema steps or at the Chinese dinner in the apartment.
All in all, the entire shoot was a highlight for all three of them. The girls were particularly pleased to be accompanied by a professional make-up artist, who not only conjured up great looks before the start of the shoot, but also provided fresh hairstyles and little touch-ups throughout the day. Felix was particularly impressed that the day was never boring and the atmosphere was better than he had imagined.
Of course, we also wanted to know if they had a favorite mymochi. Selina raves about the hamster with cookie, while Felix thinks the bear with chips is funny and suitable for him. Lina is a big fan of the penguin with duck because it's just too cute. The large 27cm mymochi are Selina's favorite: “They're perfect for cuddling and a great accessory for at home.”
Finally, the three of them told us what it's like for them to see their pictures online. They all thought it was cool that they were part of the project. Felix revealed that he found it a bit strange at first and didn't tell his friends until he finally came out with it - and the reactions were consistently positive. Selina and Lina told their friends straight away, who were totally thrilled and asked curiously how everything had gone.
This photo shoot was more than just work - it was an adventure full of beautiful moments and new experiences. We are thrilled with Selina, Lina and Felix, who enchanted us with their energy and naturalness. And who knows? Maybe you'll be there yourself next time! 🧡
