I always crave the spacious interiors, not necessarily of the scale of abandoned factories, but a big apartment is definitely handy.
And these are clean spaces, where the models can move, and sit without the fear for hygiene, because a female nude body is a delicate balance to preserve from dirt.
Hotel rooms or small Milan apartments are a compromise every time, so my consideration to buy new lenses must theca into account the true user cases.
I'm attempting another go at the Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 85mm f1.4, this time from a German dealer, because longer focal lengths are less likely to be used as profitably by my project, especially on the Leica SL2-S, but also on the Fujifilm GFX.
I already have some long telephoto like 135mm, 180mm, or 200mm, but I rarely get the chance to use them.

I managed to use up to a 180mm on Anna during this shooting, but not for this photo, actually I used it very little during the day, even if the results are always fabulous.
Also, I like to be relatively near to my models, because it helps me to establish a sort of artistic relationship.
