This Airbnb hire was not for overnight accommodation stay but for a one-off non-commercial photo shoot. We were in love with Biagio’s design of his entire flat. And we were not let down when we arrived. The place actually looked even better in real life. All the personal touches were very inspiring. Biagio and I communicated through a producer who spoke better Italian. There was unfortunately a miscommunication regarding how many participants were arriving and we deeply apologised for that as production at the end got very hectic and we failed to update the head count. The whole day was high m-pressure and the atmosphere was for sure overwhelming for everyone including Biagio. Nonetheless, Biagio was beyond patient, understanding and helpful throughout the day and did not express his dismay (for having to be present whole day to supervise and for taking care of whole crew) until after the project ended, understanding I was under a lot of stress. In the end, we closed the collaboration amicably. I’m very grateful Biagio, as an artist himself, was empathetic towards me as a creative. The photos turned out so beautiful and unique and I would definitely recommend his Airbnb as a place to stay.
