Extract from 'I am your Mirror' photography project by Loredana Denicola.
And then I met Roberto. I call him the Brazilian model.
A female friend introduced him to me.
They were working together in a restaurant.
He needed a photographer for making a video.
He wanted to take part in a competition and have the chance to be chosen as a model. The prize was a catwalk in London.
Roberto is Brazilian, his mother is Italian.
He lived in Italy, when he was a child, till his teen age.
He speaks Italian but he does not know a word in English, even if he is been living in London, for few years.
That is why my friend contacted me. Because he speaks Italian, he was easy for him to explain me what he wanted.
This was also the main reason why he could not find much work as a model in London. And worked more for Italian and Brazilian photographers or TVs.
When I saw him I was fascinated by his beauty.
