The man I pictured is my old acquaintance. This work was imprinted in my memory as the first porter that I had written from a person with whom I had an experience of communication. Until that moment, I experienced my abilities, practiced and perfected them only on characters from the fictional world, or public celebrities. I'm not quite sure why, but it was after this work that I found something new in my attitude to my hobby. When we see beautiful pictures it seems to us that it's easy - to point the camera and press the button. But any photographer will refute this prejudice. Portrait, as well as photography - a matter of purely skilful. And it was during this work that I felt like a photographer who wanted to capture what is currently watching.
