I still remember how in love I felt when I saw the portrait
@sarahstedeford did to
@max.the_axe during pandemic, it was so big that I made it Francesco`s birthday present, after that, we decided to remark a space in time.
Is such a joy to work with people you admire, go to shoot and hear stories from any individual. As well as have a team who understand, support and make everyday more easy to work🫂
This project, for me, belongs to my past, my present and future. Represents this “momento” of my life, when I feel so grateful to share with amazing humans being, but as well, made me be aware of where I come from, where I’m going.
My heart is jumping, is happier after this manifest.
To style and coordinate this book during 2022 was one of the nicest experiences as yet, cause every soul who came to be portrayed taught me a little something 🥹
My hope, is to look at it in 10 years time and still feel as huge as I’m feeling today. For the PERSONAS who didn’t have an opportunity to being heard or shown, for the fight we still have to do, for the ones who stood up to get the rights we enjoy today, for the equality and respect of any individual’s unique difference 💥
