Georgia Kutaissi 2011, I saw this woman collecting metal from a field of rubble. Obviously she wanted to sell it later. I nearly fell into a whole whilst holding the Hasselblad above my head trying to get that monoton colours and the tristesse in the frame. #6x6 #hasselblad #mediumformat #portrait #streetphotography #portraitphotography #filmphotography #kodakportra #squarephotography #theanalogueproject #peraphotogallery #street_macadam #theindependentphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1GOlRs2Xb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I always wanted to have a shot with the sun like this. And to do it running next to a marching farmer with a Hasselblad was not easy. #6x6 #hasselblad #mediumformat #portrait #streetphotography #portraitphotography #filmphotography #kodakportra #squarephotography #theanalogueproject #peraphotogallery #street_macadam #theindependentphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTTl76MdzK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Samtreida, Georgia 2011. I was walking around the outskirts covered with fields and farmer houses when I met this small boy. I had to think of myself as a small boy, sitting unhappy outside a czech pioneer camp because the other kids were calling me german pig. I had the same blond hair and even the clothes seemed to be similar although it was in the 70ties. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeF3c2kMnA2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Samtredia, Georgia. On my way from Tblissi to Batumi i stopped in a few small towns to get a little feeling for the country. Samtredia was a sleepy town with one busy street where everybody seems connected to work with cars. Repairs, wheels, tyers and so on. But also this beautiful view on the southern mountains on the border to Turkey. #6x6 #hasselblad #mediumformat #portrait #streetphotography #portraitphotography #filmphotography #kodakportra #squarephotography #theanalogueproject #peraphotogallery #street_macadam #theindependentphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CdxQDz-sCoh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tiflis, Georgia. When i passed this man in the old town he just left his gate and went inside. So i ran after him. opening the gate, getting into his yard and saw noone. many flats were around the little yard but finally i saw a shadow at a window and knocked. He opened the door and we started talking russian and i explained that i would like to take his portrait. He just said ok and followed me outside again. I took maybe 3 frames, thanked him and he went back inside as if was the most normal thing that just happened. Later Zaza, a georgian friend told me, that they used to call these types of man Little Napoleon. #6x6 #hasselblad #mediumformat #portrait #streetphotography #portraitphotography #filmphotography #kodakportra #squarephotography #theanalogueproject #perapohotogallery #street_macadam #theindependentphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CdsKgxWMaRG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
