There was something different about this photoshoot. Perhaps it was the setting. Little Venice, with its quiet canals and soft ripples of water, appeared tenfold more pretty under a threatening, dark weather. Or perhaps it was the meaning behind it. This wasn’t just another session in front of the lens; it was a moment woven into the very fabric of my book, a visual chapter to complement the words I had written.

Lidiia Golovina was once again by my side, capturing the essence of something deeply personal. But this time, I wasn’t alone. Saveria was with me. Her presence made this photoshoot even more special, transforming it from a simple creative project into something intimate, something real. It was a peaceful day, framed by the charm of the canals and the old-world beauty of Little Venice, and I felt a kind of peace. The city faded into the background, and all that remained was the connection: the story we were telling, both in words and in images.

This became one of my favorite photoshoots, not just for the photographs themselves, but for the love and meaning woven into each frame.
