Jurij- 5/02/20

I met Jurij a long time ago as he is a friend of my step dad but only last year I became good friends with him when I started my new part time job. 

Jurij was very curious in my craft and always asks me how is it going and enjoys seeing my work which lead me to the question to ask him wether he would be interested in part taking d allowing me to photograph him for my portfolio. 

He loved the idea so much he wanted to be involved as much as possible so he took into consideration all of the ideas I told him and we came up with the concept of making him look like he is part of the ‘Mafia’ or a ‘gang-star’. 

I photographed Jurij in his living room with just a white backdrop, two soft boxes, Mamiya C330, tripod and Ilford HP5 (box speed). After we got the shots we wanted we went outside to enjoy the sunset and the clouds that were forming allowing me to create some moody shots.
