May 2022, first shooting with Ania, in the house of Merate.You can just about identify this is a chimney in the background, and you can guess there is a window on the right of the frame, casting a beautiful light on our dear model.

For this shooting I was using just one camera, with 2 lenses... I was really minimal in that period!This photo was shot on the Leica SL2-S + Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f1.4 SL II.A very different approach from the last shootings with Maria, on hostile locations, but still using up to 4 different cameras!!!Maybe I'm making my life more complicated, but what really matters are the results, and I like my latest photos, finally after 10 years I believe my technique is getting better, or at least more refined, and the last 2 cameras (GFX and M10), with all the new lenses are doing a good job indeed.The 2 old lenses I'm missing the most are the ones I was using and enjoying more, this Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f1.4 SL II (that took today's photo), and the Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2.But they are both still there, ready to go, just waiting for me.Because also the pictures I was shooting in 2022 were not bad, making justice to the beauty of models like Ania.In front of her bottom, any consideration about the gear fades in the background, for most of us.
