Behind The Lens

Location

I am happy to have been given the opportunity to write more about my work. The Russian Folk costume has a centuries-old tradition. Materials from other countries have been used in the Russian Folk costume for a very long time. Cotton does not grow in Russia, and silk is also an imported material. Not every animal is capable of living in the harsh climate of Russia. There are people in Russia who are happy with materials and clothes from other countries. Products from India are of interest. I think that everyone understands that during the work, besides me and the model, there was another person, Mr http://shawlsheikh.ru/catalog/sherstwool/ Zahgur, in the room, without whose presence it was impossible to create the photo.

Time

The photo of a foreign product from India was taken taking into account the Customs regulations on products allowed for import.

Lighting

Russian Customs prohibits the import of military clothing. Unfortunately, some colors of clothing are used by the Russian military. In order not to have problems with the Russian customs, I tried not to photograph a scarf in white, black, blue and khaki colors, since for a Russian customs officer these colors are military and the product may be prohibited for import. In the photo there is a scarf with a complex color and pattern, clearly not a military ornament.

Equipment

A shawl is a product that a customs officer can interpret as a flag. I was very careful when photographing so as not to provoke the anger of the Russian customs officers later.

Inspiration

The use of imports is one of old traditions of Russia. The cost of the product does not exceed the monthly salary of the customs officer and the product is available in price terms for a person who allows import.

Editing

A shawl is a product that reminds a person of nature.

In my camera bag

The Customs profession is very difficult. The minimum monthly salary of a Russian customs officer is 10 times higher than the unemployment benefit in Russia and is approximately equal to the cost of one or two shawls. But the customs officer receives clothes from the State along with work and therefore does not need clothes, and is able to let goods through for other citizens.

Feedback

To create the shawl, the wool of rare, endangered animals was not used and the photo does not give a chance for the customs officer to arrest the goods and hinder the promotion of the shawl in Russia.
