I have realised a few nude and Boudoir shoots so far and this is the only one that was taken in the studio. Working with naked or half naked models is more difficult indoors, I believe. It’s about technique and mastering the lights but it also relates a lot to knowing the space at your disposal and to how using it to your advantage. By the way, I was pleased by the results of this session where the model was absolutely gracious and uncomplicated.

Ludovica was a classic beauty and had a sponatenous, bubbly soul! I loved taking some portraits opf her in the studio.

Ilaria was a rebel and wasn’t afraid to be taken in some unconventional portraits.

I enjoy working with young models…who are not professional models! They are dynamic and are willing to put themselves out there and this happens rarely with mature people. This is how I remember Carolina: she was smart, gracious and super busy!

Jada was easygoing and confident. She looked great in that black dress. With her I concentrated on theatrical poses and the theme of a union with nature. Enjoy these classy shots!
