It took me a while to convince Goran to take a portrait (not because he didn’t want it, but he had hit his head and a wound was visible and we had to wait for a clear head). In the end, last friday he finally agreed and we took four images. The third one was as I wanted it. Window light, a reflector and several seconds.

It is interesting, with my long exposure portraits I don’t shoot many images of my subjects. Somehow, if a person can’t sit still for the first ones, (s)he is not able either to do it later so I let go. Sometimes it is tempting to do a shot shorter then a second, but that would be cheating so I won’t. In that case, I simply don’t have a portrait which is sometimes a pity…
