And here we go again— Karina ⬅︎
I just want to remind you that Karina only worked with me for one season, back in 2009. A year before that, she had turned 18, so we were finally able to collaborate freely. That first season, Karina was statistically one of my most frequently published models, on par with Le Tattar ⬅︎ and ZiZi ⬅︎.
At that time, I didn’t do any on-location shoots or meet-ups. That’s why Karina ⬅︎ was always around and available—we were in the same city. That explains why we had so many shoots together.
Then, in 2010, I started traveling for work, and only Le Tattar ⬅︎ and ZiZi ⬅︎ kept up with that pace. But 2010 was also ZiZi’s ⬅︎ final year in the project. Le Tattar ⬅︎ became the leading model, as she stayed by my side until 2013.
Even now, based on my current portfolio stats, Le Tattar ⬅︎ remains in the lead—320 published photos. She’s on the same level as Vladi ⬅︎.
Why am I even bringing this up?
Because I want to say that I never see models as my property. They have their own lives. And that’s why I’m grateful to Karina ⬅︎ for that first season we worked together.
