The birthday of Varvara, the manager of “Zhazhda Krovi”. I shot on a Kodak Portra 800 in low light and with one external light source. The result is warm, expressive colors — that’s why I love the film. Some of the shots suddenly reminded me of old school graduation photos. They have that warmth that is difficult to replicate in numbers.
Varvarochka, happy birthday again! Misha Makarov — thank you for your help with the light.
