One of the most treasured rights in my list of values is freedom.
It is a value I have always believed in and fought for since I was a child. At the time I used to call it justice, but I soon realised that my personal view of justice was my freedom to choose and to be. It costed me my relationship with my parents, a few enemies, a lot of uncertainty and the priceless pride of looking at myself without shame most of the times.
Every now and again we face events which are remarkably close to our hearts. Because they are so personal, we need to work out if we can live and capture those moments, or if it is better for us to do only one of the two things. As some of you may know, we are branching our photography into videography as well (and some of our most recent customers know [...]
Do you want to feel good and start getting some confidence back? Being desired is certainly a great way of doing it, and knowing how to undress as you were the most desirable woman in the world certainly makes it happen.
How to do it? Well, in all honesty the answer is quite simple and it involves the most erogenous part of the body; we are talking, of course, about the mind. I am sure that men, at this point, would have jumped straight to other (and wrong) conclusions, but the fact that they are unaware of the truth makes this even better for you.
Do you know that confidence breeds confidence? This is a fact, as the confident you are, the positive feedback you get. And of course the more positive feedback you get the more confident you become. It is a snowball effect, and what you need is just a gentle push.

Validate fears and concerns of the women you photograph and you will become a better photographer even before pressing the shutter button! To me being a good portrait photographer is about being a good psychologist, and the connection you create with the women you photograph is more important than your camera.
So, if you like, I will tell you few more things about it. I will tell you why you should never lie to her. I will tell you why you should treat her as your good friend. I will tell you why you should respect her feeling, validate fears and concerns she may have and looking for the better part of her.
Being a portrait photographer to me is like being the one writing her memoirs: it has much more to do with who she is than how she looks.
If you think about it, you will realise that images are not so important in our lives. I am sure you can easily remember the summer of ’86 when your first love (Jeremy… or was it John?) brought you that beautiful bunch of roses, the first you got in your life! Even easier than that is to remember how much you loved last Spring’s haircut; it is a shame you [...]
