Priviet, dear friends!
Again ... male portraits... - maybe :-( for someone - sorry!
In these days Vladimir Granov, an old friend of mine, visited Voronezh and gave several 'master-classes' (when pro shows how he's doing something better then others:-). Vladimir is teaching Scenic arts (scenic motion) in Lyons, France...

And he invited me to visit Insitute of Arts here in Voronezh and see how it all works. Of course, I took my F707 with me, and though the light was too low, I tried to make several photos and portraits there.
I must spend some time working with them now and I'll show the results later, if you dont mind...
1 There were many moments in his lesson when one needed time to think it over...

Spasibo,
Yuri

I prefer the 2nd B&W one as well.

but the first shot......all I can say is WOW! I don't have a great technical eye but I think the lighting, expression, subject placement and texture of it all is wonderful. :clap

Wonderful images, again, Yuri! Love the composition of the first. I prefer the black and white, as his orange shirt is kind of distracting in the color. However, the eyes are great in the color!!! :clap :clap :clap
