Portrait and photo set in Chianti, Tuscany, using a Pentax vintage lens

I am always very fascinated by the work of the great photographer Herb Ritts. His work inspires me because his use of black and white is timeless, and the photos are simple and elegant. So I was trying to work with Anna to bring back some of the style of those black-and-white images.

For my shots, however, I was looking for a bit stronger contrast, something that fits more my style and taste. I shot the whole session with an old Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 on the Samsung NX-200 mirrorless camera.
