Wednesday (December 3)
We devoted the whole day to our first professional photo session with Roberto Sanz and his daughter. The first part of the session, in the early afternoon, was done in a studio, then after a couple of hours we all got into a cab and went to San Telmo, where we walked around and they took a few shots of us at a various locations.
All in all, it was hard work — being intimate and at the same time making sure the angles and the light worked and our faces could be seen, repeating and adjusting poses and trying to come up with interesting steps that made us look good and which we could hold for several seconds. In San Telmo, we began in a park with Roberto being a bit worried about security: it was a weekday late afternoon, with few people around, and they had very expensive cameras and lenses with them. We all relaxed more towards the end when we went to Plaza Dorrego and took some shots in front of typical Buenos Aires doorways. (There are open-air milongas during the summer there)
At the end of the session, we got all the raw material (several hundred high-res .jpeg files) on a DVD. We chatted for about an hour about Argentine politics and the economy, then parted ways around 8 PM. After arriving home, we looked at the pictures more carefully and agreed that they were indeed extremely well done. For a first try, it was quite good in our opinion.
