From Ukraine and France with love

Portrait

It's not a typical story - a Latvian artist meets up with a Ukrainian artist who has travelled from France to see her parents in the United Kingdom. But we did meet. And I'm glad we did.

Eve had a natural grace in her movements and poses, with the addition of understated confidence in her femininity. The session reminded me how much I missed photographing people from mainland Europe. It brings out an odd sense of sentiment to connect with what I would call 'my people' - those from the Eastern parts of Europe. Can you tell I'm in need of a quick photography trip again?
