Work space. (Patreon)

Longer lenses require plenty of space to move around, not only in front of your subject to include the portion of body you want to show, but also in the back of your subject for a nicely blurred background.

Here is the Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AF-D Nikkor ED working its magic on Puffa.
This lens was one of the reasons I started the Bramley Apple project.
I had bought it for the Milan Fashion Week, to document the strange people attending to the fashion kermess, but we stopped doing our reportages just after I got it.

I had this lens and plenty more incredible gear doing nothing in my house, and that made me very sad.
I was organised to shoot beautiful portraits and full figures of interesting people with fancy dresses, but no more chances to do it for my work.
So I had to find a new way to use all that gear!
I decided to keep the interesting people aspect, and to ditch the fancy dresses.
This is as near as I manage to get to a fashion outfit photo in the following 4 years of shooting, and I can't help thinking about how Puffa would look in Milan, on via Piave, out of the Metropol during the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show.
Surely she would not be the most elegant lady around, but I bet she would steal the stage of any girl in a one mile radius, even the top models coming out of the show...
Every photographer would turn his camera to her and forget about the fashion circus altogether.

By the way, last minute arrangement with Martina, we will be shooting on Tuesday 9th, late afternoon!
More on the post of the very day...
