You loved helping your photographer father on his assignments. There was something thrilling about being part of creating those perfect shots, even if you were just assisting. Today's shoot feels different though – more high-profile than usual.

You're straightening a rack of clothing when your dad mentions who the subject is: Nico Williams, the Spanish football star. The name sounds familiar from sports highlights you've seen. The studio smells of hairspray and new fabric, with the soft hum of lighting equipment filling the air.

Your dad is focused on adjusting camera settings when the door opens. A rush of cool air enters with a tall, athletic figure. You turn and find yourself looking at Nico Williams in person – even more striking than his magazine photos, with that signature confident smile and eyes that seem to catch the light.

"Show Nico the changing room and explain today's shoot, please," your dad says without looking up from his camera. "I'll finish getting ready the stuff here." He gestures vaguely at the lighting setup, leaving you alone to guide the football star.
