The 15 days flew by and while I saw a Katyana agitated from one side to the other because she didn't know what to wear or if it was too much, I could only laugh and encourage her since I knew that deep down she was nervous and excited to give a chance to a 15 year old dream that she had agreed to transform into a photographer; I couldn't deny that as a photographer she is great and among landscapes, animals and some other curious mixtures that inspire her and give her ideas to Shinku so that she can create great works.
When I finally saw her getting into the cab I could only laugh in a lively way and while I was looking for a relaxed music to do yoga for a while and from there go out with it to the studio, while I was getting ready to leave an unexpected call held up my departure and just said *Good* a sweet voice said
Román: very good morning little lady, how did you sleep? -animated spokesperson-
Ariana: -smiled a little flushed when she heard my name- very good morning Román, I slept well and from your voice I know that you did too, is everything ready for today?.
Román: Indeed, everything is more than ready.
Ariana: -lively- I know that today will be a busy day, so I'm more than ready.
Román was part of the projection team that projected Renji's most flattering scenes. He knew of my admiration for Román, so he gave me the opportunity to give my opinion on which poses or lights favored him. Whenever I looked at Katyana's photos of the models, they really made me ask myself so many questions like, what kind of focus do I use, why does the light look dimmer, how do I project the light that way and smooth out the shadows, I couldn't deny that seeing her work sometimes made me doubt and feel insecure.
After hanging up the call and giving me the itinerary plus the shopping list, I cleaned up the little mess and finished dressing, I preferred to stand in a high line even though my hair was short compared to Katyana's, I prepared everything and went down to wait for Roman's car, his car was a soft black, sometimes he gave the impression that it was more dark gray than black but equally his mix was great, his car was not big but inside he had a lot of space.
Román was much taller than me and not only height but also age, our skin tone was the same a cream white, but next to Katy looked like a milk white, her dark black hair and straight to more than one left her gawking, she looked like a model as such the look 1.83 and next to me was not almost a giant but if he was tall because I just average 1.75, his eyes and his look made you say yes to everything because they were an almond color and its total mix was almost see an angel but dark clothes.
Even to me he made me blush since his way of being was very similar to Renji's and that's why he made me feel that way, we went around the teams and while I was wondering how Katyana was and that's how I got to know him, while I was looking at his reaction of surprise a new gesture I met him with a firm and determined look that made me think that he felt something for her and in a way that encouraged me; after a pause Román gave me to understand that she could really become a model since she fulfilled several requirements.
We arrived close to 10:00 am and seeing a Renji all fresh my heart could not stop beating as if he was running the 100 flat meters and seeing him as he arranged his hair and smiled at everyone present made me feel in a bubble and just hearing him say *Good morning Ariana* was music to my ears, Román made me get out of my bubble with a great proposal
Román: if you help me with this I will let you take several photos yourself, but for today it will only be one, do we have a deal? -smile-
Ariana: -embobied until she heard Román's voice- it was a done deal. -A firm look-
I went to greet Renji holding my bubbles because of that great desire to take a picture of Renji, so I said to myself *if I take a great picture it might even make the cover* just thinking about it inspired me and I helped the team with the lights, clothes, makeup and food; after Román felt satisfied he decided to call me and say
Román: -laughs- good treatment is treatment my little lady; fulfill your wish. -guiding her hand to Renji-
Ariana: -blushingly- thank you very much Román, then I can make the changes in my own way.
Román: -wink an eye- that's right, choose the clothes and the pose and from there guide everything until the photo is taken.
I agreed to this plan and I called Renji telling him partly the truth that I wanted to treat an idea and that Román let me take the photo, he just laughs and agrees to my small "whims" of which clothes to use, pose, light, effect and more; When I saw everything ready I looked for the best angle and took the picture, I tried it with only 3 poses, the problem was that the pictures had fulfilled more than I could imagine or wish, Renji when he saw them just smiled and Román didn't know which one to choose for the cover of Style Life's SL magazine.
So we let the team and Renji look at them calmly and pick which one they liked, as they had been chosen 2 of the 5 photos we sent a letter to the magazine and explained what had happened, letting them know that I as a newcomer in the company and as a photographer did not know which of the 2 were suitable, Because they both met high expectations but with different feelings, the Style Life's SL faith agreed to use both, a miniature and the cover, that really made me feel relieved, so in the evening I called Katy and told her what happened today, she just happily said
Katyana: -laughs- and you said that photography was not your thing, you have shown that you can handle it and more, you should trust yourself more.
Ariana: Katy.... You really are a great friend, I can't deny that I still have that feeling from hours ago, seeing Renji's look and his words -touching his chest- is an emotion I've never felt before.
Katyana: Ari, you have a lot of emotions together from what I see, joy, a step up, your nerves of having done something new and daring and that your model is someone you love and admire; I would be the same in your case. -I would be the same in your case." He laughs and then pauses, "You never limit yourself in the same way.
Ariana: thank you Katy... by the way, when will you be back?.
Katyana: don't worry, it'll be two weeks at the most. I'll try, but I know I wasn't born to be a model. -laughs-
Ariana: who knows, it's a great opportunity, yet success. -smile-
Katyana: thank you, go eat.
I laughed at her slight scolding because in spite of the time difference between Spain and Perú she still worried and watched over me, while she laughed she agreed to her scolding and after a goodbye I hung up the call while I looked at my camera that photo and passed it my cell phone as wallpaper.
