My brother decided to visit me with Xmas together with his wife. Just a few days but enough to have a great time. We did not only enjoy advent in Zagreb, but we visited ’Salajland’ and the ’chocolate museum’ as well. 

Despite the fun we had, I wanted them to create a portrait with me. One of several seconds, for my project, and to have a portrait of my family.

Though Astrid had problems keeping still, in the end we managed: three seconds, horrible window light and a reflector:

The portrait of Ruud surprised me. He was so serious and came out unrecognizable. Astrid said: ”this is not my husband” upon seeing the image and I must agree, this is not my brother. I’ve most have mistaken the room and photographed someone else.
