One of the things that I like the most when I shoot is taking a break, drink some water, having a little conversation with the models and maybe talk about the next set or future projects.
That day I was in Turin, shooting with Marika and we were taking
a break on the balcony, talking about the photos we had just taken in the early afternoon on the crazy blue carpet.
You you can see those pictures in my previous post Deep Blue, but anyway let's not digress, the point here is that she lit a cigarette and started smoking and the scene was gorgeous, with all the messy stuff on the balcony and Marika on the white armchair with a dark bodysuit.
I happened to have my Nikon F5 in my hands and I started shooting with my trusty 20mm and whatever film was loaded. It turned out to be a Kodak T-Max 400 if you are interested :)
She was beautiful, not posing at all, just relaxing while I was talking and taking photographs.
This is the result of that casual moment.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
