Solemn oath. (Patreon)

Working a lot with a model, you start to know her and once in a while you make one shooting that is unique, more special than any other.

It happened with Martina on shooting #3, our first in Brescia, I don't know what it was about her and/or our artistic relationship, but something magic was happening.

The same, I believe, has happened with Cristiana during our shooting #4.
Not sure the pictures are showing this magic, because I was struggling with the new Leica SL2-S, but she was a happy girl and in love.
This time I know it was not about our artistic relationship, it was just about her frame of mind.
Whatever the reason, she looked very different from our previous shootings, more grave, grown up.

During our last shooting she was back to normal, and regularly quarrelling with her boyfriend, some of the magic you can see in this picture was lost, but we got back our favourite and reckless Cristiana.
The more you know these girls, the more you care for them.

You may remember about my plan to go to Ukraine for a 3 days photographic tour, to meet up with some models and collect a lot of pictures.
Clearly that idea was cancelled and "shooting" in that Country has a whole different meaning during these sad days.

But maybe I will be able to accomplish a scaled down version of this plan near Milano, in a private villa.
Cristiana has found the place for the Easter Weekend, and we are trying to find 2 more models to make it worth the effort.
3 shooting of 2 hours each in one day is going to be hard work (and exceedingly expensive for me), but maybe we can pull it off...
