Clash of personalities.

I can't say things went well between Georgia and me, and we had a bit of a quarrel.
Nothing wrong about her appearance, as I can confirm she is a real beauty, but our divergent views about the artistic direction of the set appeared to be incompatible.
She doesn't want to be told what to do, she is an experienced model that hates been given directions; I didn't like her playing the part of a shy pin-up all the time and not giving me her true self.
Well before the first hour I wanted to stop the shooting, but we tried to go on after having agreed upon cutting the 3 hours down to 2.
I knew I was getting good pictures anyway, even if they were not exactly what I was searching for, but both of us had no idea about what was going on, and it has been more of a creative fight than a true collaboration.

It is strange, as she is a great friend of The Endless Sinner and I went along with her in perfect unison!
I guess it was just the wrong match between Georgia and me, and both of us were constantly thrown off course by one another.
This meant I took less pictures with the GFX medium format camera (211 frames), and preferred the faster Leica SL2-S instead (572 frames).
Having said that, I can still recommend Georgia to anyone as an excellent model , and I'm sure I will like the work we did together in the end, but it is unlikely I will ever work with her again, just because we both were uncomfortable doing so.
When we left we were sad it didn't work out, we both hoped not to have disappointed expectations, but in the end we developed a great respect for each other.

Creative work is not a perfect science, and people are not like Lego bricks that stick together no matter what, and we have to accept that as part of the game.
I'm happy for having worked also with this great model, my first British model, and for having added also this beauty to the Bramley Apple Project.

For the first photo shot on the mighty GFX, don't miss the public post on regular social media feed later today, because it is going to be memorable + one other photo on DA Subscriptions.
