I met Lorenzo at a test shoot my agency set up. He is a very nice guy and talented photographer. We had fun shooting and one of the main things I learned from him during the test shoot is that when doing an action shot, actually go all the way through with whatever it is you are doing. For example, I was taking off my jacket. I was doing it very slow because I wanted him to get the shot. But by doing that it looked unatural. So he gave me gave me the tip and we shot it again. I could immediately see the difference it made in the image. I attached the shot here. (ap)After the test shoot Lorenzo contacted my agency and told them he was going to present an idea for an ad campaign for jeans to some clients. And that he was going to do a photo shoot in San Savino Italy at a extravagant country hotel on the mountains and wanted me to be one of the models. Also he told my agency that I would look good with the haircut that one of the models have in the DSQUARED2 ad campaign and that he wanted me to have the same cut for the shoot. (ap)
My agency agreed. So that weekend I took a 5 hour train ride south to San Benedetto where and arrived there at 10pm. Lorenzo met me at the statoin and drove me and 2 other modes to the country hotel. The next morning I walked out of my room and was in awe of the scenery that was hidden from the nights darkness last night. So beautiful. I attached a pic here. The hotel was amazing. We had delicous meals every day and delectable wine at night. We would relax all day and then shoot for about 3 hours and then come back and relax again. It was like a weekend getaway. I wish every shoot was like that lol.

The first morning after breakfast the stylist cut my hair the way Lorenzo wanted it. It turned out great. It wasnt as short on the sides, but I liked it better. I attached before and after pics of my haircut. (a p)
After the cut, we relaxed for a couple hours and then drove to a dock where we took some shots.
The next day we shot a couple minutes from the hotel in the country side. The shots were more editorial like. They turned out really good. (ap)

It was a lot of fun working with Lorenzo and his team of stylists. Hopefully I will get the chance to work with him again.
