I met Savage.bu during a photography trip to Mallorca. When I told her, "Please, just be yourself. Light up a cigarette and enjoy the moment," she looked at me with a mix of surprise and curiosity. She admitted she had never been asked to pose like this in a photoshoot before.
What happened next was remarkable. She did something that many models struggle to do: she let go. She stepped out of her comfort zone, and within moments, she relaxed completely, embracing the freedom of the moment. Throughout the shoot, she kept telling me how incredible she felt, how liberating it was to shoot this way, and how much she loved the photos we were creating.
For me, it was a beautiful experience, knowing that she trusted me so much to be her true self. It was as if a new side of her emerged, raw and unfiltered. The results were absolutely stunning—capturing not just a model, but a person who was fully in her element. The photos speak of that trust and authenticity, and I'm thrilled to have been part of creating something so genuine and unique.
