Portrait: Honorable Mention 2020 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I saw this boy from my car in the mountains near a small village. I saw his face and jumped out of the car. I asked him to take a picture with the camera. He waited for his father to take him in the cart. He was very surprised, but he allowed me to take a picture of him. His emotion was very strong and he cried. It was a big event for him. For me too. There was something special about his face. The emotion I saw in his eyes also captivated me. Every year I will return to this village to make portraits of him. So I will see how he grows and I wish him a lot of success in life and to break the shackles of this small village.

I started shooting because it's difficult and because I see a challenge. Nowadays everyone is a photographer. Everyone takes pictures with phones, cameras, tablets. We need more to get you out in the ocean of photos that flood us. You have to apply thought and skills, you have to be persistent and patient. I like such difficulties. They give meaning to our lives because only the really difficult thing that we have overcome will someday bring us true joy and satisfaction. In my career as an actor, I have struggled for 20 years and continue to do so. But after meeting with the best directors, after appearing in the biggest theaters and shooting the biggest productions, it somehow became easier for me. In photography, I start from scratch. In fact, I've always shot for as long as I can remember. But acting was a priority. For the past two years, I've entered the ocean of photography, and I began to study and search. I have drawn a path that I must follow, and I very much hope it will be interesting and exciting. That he would meet me with new people and visit unfamiliar places. I want to tour the other undefeated part of the world, this time with a camera.
