I have in my mind a song from U2 every time I look at this photo. Sweetest Thing. They were in Covent Garden in a sunny Saturday. The sun was warm and the day was lovely and they acted sweetly and so naturally that I waited a little bit looking for the real kiss, but [...]
Meeka plays with the photographers, playing a different role and relaxing completely. London, November 2008.
The best thing I can ask to a model is to be able to play different roles. During one session the main target, at least for me, is to be able to variate the types of photos, the feelings, the settings. [...]
Tai sitting on a sofa, perfectly at ease in front of the camera. London, October 2008
The biggest challenge I yet had to face while shooting someone in studio are the initial minutes. For someone they can be five, for someone ten and for other thirty, but everyone need some time to get used to the [...]

When I told him to get ready for the second part of the session, Tai got dressed and moved in front of the light. I already won his confidence, so I stepped closer and sat in front of him.
“So, what would [...]
Tai is a brilliant boy. His eyes can be hard to read, but behind that “nice look” he is a boy who loves to read and dance, something you would not expect by many people.
He was quite protective of her sister Meeka in the beginning of the session, but after a while he trusted Fabiana [...]
The first shot of a quite long series for Meeka and Tai, two teenagers coming from Toronto and now living in London. Their mother wanted a portfolio for each of them, so Fabiana and I went into a studio and worked to get the best of of these two smart guys.
It is the second time [...]

This two guys were quite… flagged when I finally got to have a direct shot [...]
