Vasily

Yuri Pautov

Priviet, dear friends!
If you are interested in what Russian soul is - look at this foto. Vasily is far after 70 - he's a chairman of Dachas association...

You'll find a lot of interesting stories in this face, wise and a bit sly...
I recommend you to read Mikhail Sholohov's “The Rise Virgin Soil” with its "ded Schukar"...

Spasibo,
Yuri

Just a wonderful portrait Yuri! Each one you post is better than the next.

Really wonderful
Privet Yuri,

Wonderfull portrait - I can really see this man's character from the way you present his picture. What were the lighting conditions like (I know you like natural light)?

Cheers,
Kevin K.

Spasibo, Kevin - sunny morning.
I asked him to stand in a shadow...

Excellent Portrait
Hello Yuri..

This is an excellent portrait and the use of sepia is a good choice. Wonderful clarity and great DOF.

The eyes, the lines, the look, the stance--all wrapped into one.

Good job.
