April 2021, In Milano with Martina.
I knew the time would come for me to regret every time I refused to work with Martina, and the time is now.
Either it was not the right season, or the right apartment, or it was too close to the previous time we met, or it was my trial period in a new job and I didn't feel like asking for a day off: all very reasonable justification at the time, but they now sounds feeble.
Even if I managed to make 20 shootings with Martina, more than I did with any other model, and also way after she stopped working with most other photographers, 20 still don't feel enough.
But I still feel privileged for having had 20 chances to work with Martina, and I tried to make each of them count, as if it was the last one.
I still keep my fingers crossed for the future, but I'm afraid the last shooting with Martina might have been the one in June 2024.
2 more pictures of Martina later today, on this same bed, and taken very close in time to this one, just after it, to be precise.
