When I started to shoot more portraiture and that slowly moved more into fashion styling with an element of my documentary and street styles I would look through other photographers and model’s portfolios and I drew up a list of people of who I would like to work with. Valentina was one of those people who naturally stood out as an exceptional Model and Fashion Art Director and though it took almost a year to set-up a shoot it was worth the wait on her last visit to London as a model last summer when we had a few hours together in Kensington Gardens before she headed back to Roma.
