Historic madness.
I might have managed to bring Elfa back to the table.
After she asked for a 40% increase from last year's fee, and I had to refuse, she came back with another offer.
I accepted the offer, and she accepted my location suggestion, because I didn't want to shoot again in the same hotel.
So on the June, the 16th, we're going to be shooting in the abandoned asylum I visited last year, and that's going to be a blast!
We're in for a very different approach to her beauty, no more intimate and dreamy pictures with under the skin details of her veins like in this picture (we have plenty of those), but a more raw and visceral urbex location, with dirt and graffiti covering the layers of past sufferance.
I look forward to see how her nude body is going to stand out in that place...
For the choices of cameras, I'm still considering.
I will surely take the GFX with "Martin", probably on a tripod, and as the main camera.
Probably the Panasonic S1 with a 50mm and a 105mm as backup camera, and the X100VI for artistic candids and wider angle shoots.
Glad to have Elfa back in the project, and to finally get to sample this wild location with her!
