When fashion photographer Elvina Farkas received a friend request from one “Luca Milone” on Facebook, she was surprised. She didn’t often get random requests, and only considered adding someone if they had mutual friends.
Yet, curiosity got the better of the 27-year-old. She checked out his Facebook profile and realised that Luca, 34, was another Singapore-based photographer, and that they knew many of the same people.
She checked out his work – Milone had shot major celebrities like Rita Ora, and had worked for top fashion magazines that included Harpers Bazaar, as well as brands like Hermes – and was impressed.
“Seeing that we had a couple of friends in common, I decided to accept,” says Elvina, an Australian national whose mother is Singaporean and father is Hungarian. “Immediately after [I did], he sent me a message. He seemed friendly and genuine, so I was happy to chat away with him some more.”
Luca, an Italian photographer, had arrived in Singapore around the same time as Elvina – more than seven years earlier – and was attempting to drum up business for a photo studio he managed. His first stop was Facebook, where he added some friends of friends.
Elvina’s work, in particular, struck him. Although she had started out shooting popular musicians and bands in Australia in 2009, she had quickly moved on to fashion shoots that had an intriguing portrait-like feel.
As fate would have it, Elvina was also the quickest to say “yes” to his friend request.
