When I asked Olivia if she wanted me to take portraits of her using the old analog camera Nikon F801s or the fresh new digital one, she giggled and whispered: “The film camera”! This reminds me of my mum, when she would take photos of me and my brothers on film during our childhood”. Well well, Olivia is the 2nd young model (she is a Gen Z!) to prefer film images, as I had the same response by Anagha a few weeks earlier (and she is the same age of Olivia). They must be both fun of soft images and of the film grain 🙂

We found some spots in the back garden and, under a grayish sky with a chilly air, we managed to work together and to laugh! Olivia is a pleasure to work with and her “joie de vivre” is bouncing out from some of the pictures, I find. We also got the help of an unsuspected photo assistant (my landlord Ian!). What more could we possibly need?!
