Through a model agency, I got in touch with Maguatte, a model from Senegal currently living in Milan. Her portfolio immediately stood out to me, and I knew right away that working with her would be something special. When we finally met in Milan, my first impression proved to be right—I was captivated. She had a warmth and an effortless charm that made our time together feel natural and inspiring.

As we wandered through Milan, I appreciated her relaxed, easygoing approach to the shoot. She was open to exploring different spots around the city, which I had scouted a few hours before. I was confident that these locations would make a fantastic backdrop for her style, and she brought each scene to life with her poise and energy.

Maguatte’s experience was evident in the way she moved, each pose effortlessly flowing into the next. She had a unique ability to connect with the camera, adding depth to every shot. The result was a collection of striking black-and-white photographs that captured her essence and the spirit of Milan. Her contribution made this photoshoot a true success, and I left feeling inspired and grateful for the experience.
