For me, a photo is successful if multiple elements come together.

A good balance of light and shadow is a part that you as a photographer continue to play with. In this photo we used the outside wall of my studio and next to it a bicycle shed, which you can use to easily control light.

Using such a wall can invite the model to lean against the wall, which affects her pose.

The soft color tones in her clothes ensure that the photo looks calm.

Her calm appearance completes the photo for me, her appearance makes me look at the photo longer because it somehow arouses this photo's curiosity.

This way, several puzzle pieces come together to form a beautiful whole.

Walking up and down Milan I crossed two awesome ladies: one of the rare times where I just stopped strangers before looking for the right background.

Lucrezia was fine posing for me after asking some questions about the project: it definitely turned into an interesting session, enjoyed by me but I guess also by the strangers!

Lucrezia is a student but also works as model.

Thank you Lucrezia for your time: I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you!
