“I bury my head in the pillow, and dream of my true love…
I am rowing to you on the great, dark ocean” – Caravaggio

Maria introduced me to her friend Lorenzo who was an approachable and sensitive person with an artistic side. At the time I was a “black backdrop-addict” (I liked the sense of mystery, inevitability, and of contrast that it would give off). Don’t ask me how I connected Lorenzo to Caravaggio (When they say: “Dream big!” But, perhaps, it was for the intensity of his gaze and personality), so I organized a shoot trying to emulate Caravaggesque overtones. The main themes were silent movement and psychological introspection. Thank you, Lorenzo, for posing for me!
