Philip came from far. Though may be not that far. Bulgaria. Far enough to be far, close enough to be close. Philip came for a two day visit to Zagreb. As soon as he told me he was into photography, I asked him for a portrait. Normally fellow photographers accept such request and so did Philip.

He put some pressure on me saying that his father is a pro photographer. This meant he was probably photographed a million of times which made him more experienced than me, so his mail right after our photo session was very nice :

“Hi Olaf, thank you very much! It was an interesting experience. I grew up with a photographer father and I hate when people take photos of me. But I enjoyed this experience.” 

Though I am still not sure if he said it just to be nice, I appreciate his kind words. Vanity does do that to people :). Anyway, back to the session: I took five images, lasting from two (this one) to four seconds, using a led panel and a reflector. Meet Philip.
