Cuffing Season
by Danielle Allen
I wasn’t looking for a man.
I was looking for a mentor.
When renowned photographer Luca Romano returned home to teach a Photo Storytelling workshop, Hamilton University was buzzing. But a campus wide email warned us not to approach Luca if we weren’t selected to participate—and I wasn’t selected.
I wasn’t looking to break the rules.
I was looking to break into the industry.
I knew getting photographed by Luca Romano would catapult my career. I hoped he’d call, but I had no expectations. I wanted to converse with him, pick his brain, expand my portfolio. That’s all.
Listen… I wasn’t looking to be his muse.
But I wasn’t going to tell him no.
