Taken in 2012. The girl is my dear Joana Mota. I took some good pictures with her. She will be always in my mind as my first model.

I always had some kind of chemistry with Filipa. She is great in front of the camera.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Porto in a local tourism house. Buy the time I had a agreement with the owner. I would take pictures of the house for free and she would let take my pictures with Marta for free too.

Time

It was during an afternoon

Lighting

Just natural light of big old windows coming from de right, and a small round led in the front. I don't remember if it was used in this picture.

Equipment

My old APS-C Sony Alpha 77 and my 16-50 2.8 zoom lens.

Inspiration

Actually this was not my inspiration but Marta's inspiration. Her pose in this picture was spontaneous. I just did the capture of the moment.

Editing

Yes, of course. Some skin cleanup. Due to an accident with hot water when she was a child, Marta has some profound marks in her chest. I preferred to remove those anesthetics scars from all her pictures where it's visible.
