Ethereal Decadence

Ever since the first time I traveled to Ostuni Workshop, I had my eye and heart set on this rock shelter formation and felt this wild desire to have a shoot in there. I was over the moon when this time Gianluca asked me to photograph for his workshop and needless to say I had to ask that we take our boudoir shooting to this beautiful grotto. My dear friend obliged and Vanessa Souravlia from DePlanV simply took the concept to a whole new level employing all her talent and going beyond with the most organic backdrop. Katia, our model, who had traveled with us from Greece, was the perfect beauty for this concept, intense but at the same time naturally elegant and feminine. I chose to shoot on film for its depth and supreme elements presence of 30 photographers which is a tough thing to do but honestly one of the most exciting experiences ever. I can only feel blessed for such moments where creativity thrives and delights the heart.
