Twenty-Fifth Collection

This delicate moment was captured in natural light coming through the window and a fill card, in a photo studio with a Nikon d750. The lovely model, Francis Martins, was very connected and present in the moment.

Jose or Smurf as he is known on the streets of Trenton NJ is a panhandler by trade. He wishes one day to enter the priesthood. Heart of gold and a warm smile through rough times is an inspiration to me.

Title: Thoughtful beauty. This image was taken with the popular model Kate Ri from Belarus. I was absolutely amazed by her natural sensuality and her peculiar beauty. I decided to concentrate my attention to the particular colours of her skin and hairs and I tried to catch her expressive intensity in my images. Her pose and her mood were a perfect combination. I took this shot at Brainstorm Studio in Milan and I used a single flash with a big octa to have soft shadows in all of the parts of the body.

This is Idil.
She is such an incredibly photogenic, calm and sweet girl.
I wanted to take a low key portrait of Idil where she wears her grandmother's piece of jewelry.
This picture is taken before she put on the jewelry. It was an unplanned portrait.
I think her closed eyes symbolize her calmness.

Natural Sensuality.
I took this image during my first shooting session with popular model Ankhen Bogomazova from Moskow. We had the opportunity to shoot in a big studio in Milan where natural light was so beautiful and allowed us to take amazing pictures. Ankhen is a master in posing and thank to her impressive charm give the photographer the perfect position in every situation. This shot intended to represent the soft sensuality of a young woman who is aware of the expressive power of her body.
