A first for everyone!

I bet these words have crossed the lips of most of you, in a different context, of course!
The first time is never easy. In every first time there is always an infinite whirlwind of emotions, fear, anxiety, happiness... like relatives at plays, always in the background but always present. Here they are the "relatives" of the First time, and believe me that for this one there were really everyone!
Organizing a shooting is not at all a simple thing even if it is very, very fun. First of all you have to visualize and be clear about the final result that we want to achieve, you have to find the perfect place with the set suitable for your needs, you have to find a Make up Artist who knows how to personify your ideas and put them into practice, you have to provide a few bottles of champagne to be more relaxed, you have to know how to ask for help when we are not efficient on everything like positioning the lights well because the lights in a shooting are everything; finally you have to organize the date and time, but above all you have to find the models!
Oh yes... my models are very special women!
Each of them is completely different from the other, they don't look alike at all: features, eye shape, lips, cheekbones, hair, skin color, imperfections, height, waist circumference and leg length, in short, every centimeter is different.
Not to mention their character, aaaaaah here... completely different planets that when they find themselves together manage to compensate for each other's shortcomings and together they are Universe. They lead completely different lives with distant goals from each other and are happy to be who they are today.
I wanted to portray this beauty that is rare to find on the cover.
Today we talk a lot about aesthetics, Body Diversity, beauty standards carried forward for generations and that have often destroyed the confidence and beauty of women, bringing their body to extreme transformations only to satisfy the concept of "Beauty" canonized by the current society of the moment. Because let's face it "if you are born round you cannot die square". But taking care of yourself and feeling good about your body is a very important thing and should be done only for ourselves, not for the eyes of others.
With a little mutual help and a few stolen poses from the top models in vogue, I shot their imperfections and insecurities, but for me who was on the other side of the lens, believe me, they were their strong points. I made them gorgeous and above all I made them themselves.
It is by these women that I want to be represented, it is to these women that I want to reach.
