I remember vividly the morning (the early morning, it was around 7 am!) I found out about the publication of my 1st image on PhotoVogue: it was a whirlwind of emotions! It didn’t seem real to me: I was looking for it, I was hoping for it, I cared for it but I didn’t count on it. I froze in front of my laptop and felt a sense of happiness, possibly I even felt like crying. I sent a text message to my friend Francesca who replied immediately congratulating me then, I paused.
