For a Moment I Forget to Worry

“For a Moment I Forget to Worry” is a story of friendship and brotherhood, filled up with the typical lightheartedness of the youngsters. Shot and retouched by Abby Matthews, the styling is by Raphael Sedefian. Eva Lopez contributed as creative director. Layout is made up by Francesca Rongioletti. The pictures seem to dive into a day in the life of models Jo Prida and Thomas Agouloye.

The two guys call each other, with the simplicity with which friends just need to pick up the phone to start an adventure together. As they have a coffee, they look straight into the camera as if asking "What are you looking at?". No one answers. In pink and light blue tuxedos, they find themselves in a richly decorated room, but they are barefoot, a detail which evokes their freedom and wild soul.

We find them later, happier and definitely at ease, wearing more casual clothes. The final shirtless embrace and the relaxed look in their eyes convey the tranquility and peace of the moment.

This is the beauty of being together. Whether they are just friends or passionate lovers, the two managed to spent a pleasant day together, drinking coffee, sharing secrets, living adventures, changing clothes. For a moment, every problem disappeared. For a moment, they forgot to worry.
