VERA
This is Vera, she is half german, half italian professional model and ballet dancer. Her look is very sharp, with very clean lines and very elegant and when I met her, I was certain that I wouldnt get a single shot that was as pretty as she is. She has such natural beauty that she comes pre-Photoshopped and in all honesty, it makes life harder! Some models you look at and you know what will suit them, what wont, and you work to that. You hide their flaws, you emphasise their beauty and you bring out the best of them and afterwards, you can look back and feel proud of yourself. With Vera, it doesnt matter what angle you shoot, what f-stop, what lighting... she looks perfect. she is very cute, she has a sexiness which emerge from her every images. Do you know that it's actually possible to work with somebody too pretty?
MARINA
She is an incredible young model, it's wonderful to work with her. As I said after my first shoot with her, she is the most sweet model Ive ever worked with and such wonderful company.
I met Marina one afternoon in autumn, and we spent at least the first hour on Villa Floridiana in Naples nothing else but talking about his young life and how you accept her soft features of real woman. We talked about the big things, the little things,and after many minutes i fired off a test frame. She listened, I spoke, I listened, she spoke taking photos.
VIOLANTE
Here's to you Violante, a real woman, not ever met a mature woman unleashing so much sensuality of a body so minute.
Appointment for the shooting is coming with her partner Massimo, who was also an amateur photographer for many years; it was very interesting and relaxing chat with him while preparing the equipment and was making shots. We chose some very suggestive corners to the forest of Camaldoli in Naples with a very Impressive light, completed by my flash.
Violante is very safe and experienced in pose and has a beautiful olive complexion even in the gloom of the forest created me many lighting problems. I was able to give a touch of magic when I noticed a few blades of light that filtered through the leaves in that beautiful sunny afternoon. I asked Violante to position itself at the natural light, so we were able to give an even more impressive in the shooting.
