Sasha (Patreon)

When I was printing my first book, The Graces, in Riga, I had scheduled a couple of shoots around that, and this is one of the shoots I did - with Sasha. 

Her face is so charismatic that if I saw one of her pictures today and had not known better, I would think it was an AI-generated image.
It’s almost too perfect if there is such a thing…

All these are shot in natural light from the window in the background, with a white reflector on the left side to wrap the light a bit more around.

As a funny aside, they were shot with my old NEX-7 APS-C camera, which looked like a toy camera to many. But it performed beautifully with a 32mm and 50mm ƒ 1.8, as you can see here.
