I'm a full time Artist and Artists' Model, and I've been either side of the canvas for a very long time now.

As an Artist, I've been around the beautiful experience to draw from life a wonderful variety of models of any age and body types and appreciate the beauty in all of them for many years, and as a model I've grown very comfortable in posing for Artists in many different situation, from very public to private ones, not worrying much, like I used in my younger years, about not having the "perfect body".

However, posing for photography was still something I didn't do too comfortably.

When I was proposed to model for "Age will not define her" my immediate thought was that I wasn't the right type of model for a photoshoot, I was born and raised in Milan, where models that pose for photoshoot looks very different from me!

But once I've read about James project on his website, and seen the beautiful photos he's taken, I thought it was the right time for breaking through my discomfort of being in front of a camera and to finally see reality outside the gentle dreamy world of a painting!

I absolutely loved the experience, James is a wonderfully creative and talented photographer, I was given tips and suggestions from his very professional assistant and the settings were no less than amazing. I wanted to match that high professionalism giving my best and forget my self doubt and embarrassment...and I hopefully did! I surely enjoyed the whole process and even if I didn't love all the photos... because hey... which girl doesn't wish to be slimmer...I truly liked some others, thinking..."hey...I don't look that bad after all!" 😘
