This time, the choice is even more personal. This photography was made by my friend, Robert Binda - a freelance fashion photographer which I had luck to live with under one roof (which basically gives you an opportunity to have inspirating conversation and fold your laundry at the same time). 

Why do I find this picture interesting? First of all, I am still amazed that Robert, at the age of 21, has achieved the awareness, the sense of composition, colour and aesthetics of a photographer which has much more expierence. He is my number one among our merry group of pseudo-artists who I believe will attain a success soon. 

The choice of a model was followed by the great attempt to find his psychological portrait, captured in the expression of his face.  As we all know, photograph is just the frozen mirror of the right moment and only few of us have a talent to catch them - apparently Robert not only managed to do that, but also kidnapped the light violently and told it exactly what to do. What emphasises this fact, is that the photograph is not produced in a studio where you can adjust the light as you wish to, but an outside photoshoot. What draws my attention most is the special reflection, playing on the irises of the man. It gives the model a cold, dominative look. 

I adore the contrast between the lightened face and the blurry, vibrant background. The black and white palette is wide, although the are spills of bold colours which contrast firmly. 

The truth is, that the professionalism of this photo is probably on the same level as the other photographs which I posted on this blog as well. I do not have much interest in a fashion photography but I believe in my art sensitvity and I would not be able to tell the difference if this photo is made by an amateur, a man on a doorstep of his career or a professional, knowing his field thoroughly, which makes this photo one of the ten most interesting photos I decided to choose.
