In the words of the author photos , portraits , it was decided to make a black and white to color is not distracting . The main focus - the expression of the eyes, "in the eyes - the soul , in the eyes - the truth ." There was no purpose to make portraits of attractive, beautiful. It turned out , I think a good idea , although in some works the photographer must have overdone it .

There was no purpose to make portraits of attractive, beautiful. It turned out , I think a good idea , although in some works the photographer must have overdone it .

If, for example , bulk and Posner do a big poster and hang it in front of the Kremlin - I'm just going to fear for the sanity of our president ...
