the oldschool cigaretta look

and she wanted to say... by Branimir Petev

Photographer: Branimir Petev
Age: 22

Residence: Currently I'm living in Sofia, Bulgaria. But I'm original from a city called Lovech where I've grown up. Since then I've been living in Amsterdam for a few months and 3/4 of a year in Napoli, Italia. My recent photos are taken on the streets of Sofia. And some of them are from Pompei, Napoli.

The Story:
First I started with street. Because I'm now 3rd year in film school - film directing. So I'm mostly interested in documentaries. So when I started shooting few months ago (I bought my nikon d80 5 months ago) I started with photojuornalistic style and street candid shots. Still loving it. Have been in a studio just twice. So I bought an old russian rangefinder (fed-2 and fed-5) one lubitel 166. A Nikon F60. And Kiev 88TTL. Experimenting with them all. But still am not scanning the results...
Why am I prefering the streets? Because of the candids. Nothing in pose, in roll. Just the truth. The images that are passed by the others. The things that are left behind. Just like an old romantic guy, who is willing to see the ignored one.

The photo:
The photo was taken in front of the national theater in Sofia. Of a girl, who at that moment was with her friends playing badminton. At one point she sat on the stairs and in perfect line between me, her and the sun, that was setting down. I had the Nikon D80 with a 28-105 Nikkor lens. Set it on b&w with high contrast and tones + normal sharpening. Nothing special... just was willing to capture the strange contrast in that girl. The beauty of her face and the oldschool cigaretta look. I took several photos... one other seconds after this is link.
