It was a wondering story about this portrait's session I really want to share with you.

This summer we had a family trip to Russia for 5 weeks. It is the pretty long trip, and I took my camera with me, and a flash with a stand, and a light diffusor, and even a tripod. I did not think I will work there, but I wanted to be ready if I need it.

On the second week of our trip I went to a jewelry shop in a little suburban town to fix a necklace, and when I just came in the shop, it was a spark! I saw this old man I just realized he must be my portrait model! He looked so elegant and charismatic, his age and gray hair just popped up his nobility. But… how I should explain him that I want to photograph him, why I need it, and how I am going to use his portraits. I wanted to show him my works, but internet was there so slow, so it took 20 minutes to open my website and Instagram. I knew if he would see my works he is going to agree for the session. And I was right. We scheduled a session in a couple days at his shop.

I came to his shop in two days with my equipment and fully ready for portrait session with this old guy.

But another surprise was waiting for me there. Besides my model there was an elderly strict lady in the room, and it was his wife, who did not get why her husband has a very weird visitor with the camera and all that stuff at Friday night, when they were going to home and she just came to pick him up from work. He did not tell her about me before, and now I had to explain whole my idea to his wife from the beginning. I also showed her my works and she got softer and smiley 😉

So, I set up my light and took a few shots and let them go to their Friday’s plans. It took no more than 15 minutes, and I was super happy we did it and now I am glad to share with you these pictures!
