Two of them had grown up together in a small village outside of
the city of Milan. They had then gone to college together, and met
the third. They were roommates in a dormitory, and they shared some
of their most formative experiences together: their first party,
their first kiss, their first boyfriend. They were like sisters,
only they weren’t, which made room in their interactions for
exploration and sensuality denied to family members.
The idea came from Yanna, who was always the wildest one. She’d
started dating a young man named Serge, and Serge had started experimenting
with his new digital camera, taking pictures of nature and buildings
on campus. One night, after Yanna and Serge went home from a party,
he’d asked her if he could take some pictures of her with
her clothes off. She had let him, and the experience had inspired
some amazing love-making between the two neophytes. But Yanna was
hungry for something even crazier.
So she proposed to her friends that they let Serge photograph all
three of them nude together. At first, their response was timid,
especially from Nola, the shyest of the three. Nola was the newest
of the friends, and she was also the most reserved. She hadn’t
lost her virginity yet, even though ample opportunities had presented
themselves in her first college year. She was saving herself for
the right man.
But Yanna’s tales of lust and freedom in being photographed
nude convinced the girls that it was worth a try. Plus, it was Serge,
and everyone knew he was safe because he was with Yanna. The date,
time, and place were set, and secretly each girl throbbed with excitement.
When the time came, it was in Michele’s apartment, the third
friend. She had a sauna in her place because she lived in what used
to be her wealthy father’s place. Each girl undressed cautiously
as Serge prepared his device. Immediately, he started clicking.
Nola was shy at first, but soon Yanna’s hands on her body
made her warm and relaxed. Michelle, who knew the sauna well, felt
more at home, so she opened up quickly as well. Serge’s camera
grazed over their bodies greedily.
What happened that day can only be explained as an epiphany. Something
changed in each girl. Each found in her a new desire, partly for
nude photography, partly for the female body, and partly for the
intimacy of her friends. Here was genuine sensual comfort, and none
of them would have traded that for the world. They felt more beautiful,
more loved, more turned on than they had ever been. This photo session
would not be their last.
