Belgrade | Tijana, Buckethead

I was shooting Tijana in Belgrade, a beautiful model, but things weren’t clicking, there was no rhythm happening.

We walked around the downtown area and went back to my hotel, shooting in the lobby and my room. A couple of hours and a handful of film and I could tell there was not much happening. No fault to her at all, sometimes shoots for me just don’t jibe and the shots may be good, maybe even really good, but nothing magical.

She was great and goofy and we were having a great time regardless, talking and laughing.

Then we both look down and see the ice bucket and we shared a knowing look.

Then the next few rolls of film were filled with joy and goofy fucking beauty.
