Resting like a flamingo. (Patreon)

At the end of the shooting, I was using a longer lens (Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2), so I was going to crop in tight and said to Annalisa she could wear her socks, to warm up her feet.
After the last portraits, I noticed she was relaxing in this strange position, she tells me it is normal for her to rest like this, so I decided it was worth documenting!
I backed up a little and shot the last pictures of our session.
This is the spontaneity I really like from my models: whilst I still try to keep the picture somewhat majestic, a hint of real life creeps in the frame, and makes these goddesses more down to earth, approachable, casual.
