Цитата:
For the portrait I have passion. That every time a new meeting. Before shooting, I feel fear, as before going on stage, but gradually decoupled languages, and we are familiar. Everything always begins with a conversation. There are times when you watch the whole day watching, not saying a word, not "disturbing" object. I'm trying to catch a gleam in his eyes, a characteristic gesture, a moment of attention, concentration, where the model listens, but does not say.
