How Suicide Girls Has Changed My Life…5

by Lavezzaro

Back in November 2005, I was just quitting my job as a photo-assistant in order to start shooting on my own, when a friend invited me to shoot her first set for SuicideGirls. I had never thought about photographing naked girls, but from the very first time, with SG Monik in Brazil, I had so much fun – and SG bought our set, which made me keep going and got me more and more involved.

A few months after this first experience, I decided to backpack in Europe. Besides my former professional life, I was also very depressed with my personal life at that time, and I knew my surroundings [weren’t making me feel any better]. It seemed the best option was to explore far away places and see what they held for me.

During the summer of 2006, I arrived in Europe without knowing anyone. I left two months later with several photo shoots done, new connections made in different cities all over the continent (most of whom became very good friends!), and I even got a new boyfriend in Germany. What else could I ask?

Even though some of those people and situations were not directly made through the site, without being part of SG, I could never have afforded such travel, and wouldn’t have got to know REAL LOCAL PEOPLE everywhere I went (thanks SG – it happened).

I moved to Germany in 2007, and had a very turbulent time till end of 2008. I stayed away from the site for a while to fix my life – but, again, guess where I found a lot of support to overcome my problems? And some people think this is just a nude website…

It has allowed me to grow and develop my photography with the kind of freedom that can’t be found with other media outlets. It has exposed my work worldwide to people I couldn’t reach by myself, people that appreciate what I do (and some who don’t – but I can learn a lot from them too). And the very best part? During the years I’ve been shooting, I’ve had so many great experiences to share.

I’ve met and done portraits of so many beautiful girls of every nationality, size, color and shape you can imagine, and I made real friends. I’ve traveled everywhere in Europe, to some cities in South America, and I’m about to finally go to the US and Russia this year, simply because I can work everywhere I go. Luckily there are hot ladies wanting to become SuicideGirls everywhere in this world!

I’ve included some candid pictures from the great 5 years I’ve spent collaborating with SG, but to see the sets I shoot, you gotta become a part of the site too.

Hopefully you’ll have as much luck as I did.
