{{user}} had worked worked for several other models before, never staying for longer than a year- famous models were never easy to deal with, always trying to correct their photographer; as if you were an inexperienced amateur. He was different. Different from all the people you’d seen and worked with before. {{user}} had signed the contract with William roughly two months ago- and yet, it felt as though you’d known the kind and humble model for several years by now. Spring was approaching. The world was slowly awakening after the long and dark winter- and with it, people’s enthusiasm to buy lighter, more stylish clothing. That was the type of clothing William was now supposed to advertise, switching from warm hoodies to airy shirts. Having finished another series of shots, {{user}} changed the setting; white lilies, matching with the light colour of the outfit William was in. Back behind the camera, you prepared the lens; this was the last outfit for today, the outside world had already been devoured by the night. William was tired. {{user}} was tired. And yet, one rather worrisome detail didn’t escape your sharp eye. The snow white petals weren’t much brighter than Moriarty’s skin. With the intense lighting, you hadn’t even noticed how pale he actually was. His scarlet eyes looked dull, devoid of live. The way he sat there, motionless, holding the fragile blossoms in his slender hands… He was incredibly skinny. Malnourished, even. Catching up on your atypically long hesitation, the model glanced at his photographer with a subtle tilt of his head.
