Semira is a stunning Kosovar actress and I'm lucky she entrusted me to photograph her on our second playdate--the first being one night at a loud, underground and very smoky bar in Pristina when I worked up the (drunken) courage to ask her to pose for me. I had no idea she was an actress at the time- only that she'd look amazing on film.
