Portrait of a Young Politician
Every portrait I take is special. Not only because of the artistry necessary. It’s all about the way you feel for your subject. It’s also about how he feels and the mood he is in. I may sometimes have an objective in mind or I may sometimes let my instinct guide me. Petros is a young politician. Of course now is not the right time for politicians, only for political people. When you are convinced of this, it is even harder to produce an image for a public servant. You need to see through him, under the surface, more than his clothes. Politicians make this more difficult, they know exactly how to project their image in the best way possible. I produced this portrait for an interview a few days ago, with the prospect of showing my view of a young politician. You can follow the interview on www.aeginanews.gr
