Marina was a very young 18-year-old model when I met her, and we shot at the Kube hotel in Paris. I actually did several shoots in that hotel, including a "couple" shoot that I'll also post soon! As you know, I'm not the greatest specialist or technician when it comes to photography; I've always more or less figured things out on my own, with whatever was at hand, trying stuff somewhat at random. That day with Marina, I wanted to make it look like she was bathing in a tub of milk. But good luck hauling dozens of liters of milk cartons into a hotel room! That's when I had a quality idea... Plain powdered milk! I bought a pack, emptied the whole thing into the bathtub, and it worked perfectly. On the other hand, the smell and the slightly pasty texture when draining the water at the end of the shoot were not great :p
