Location
In front of his mother’s property, which is always surrounded by pets – in this case, cats. The picture is a part of my project Strive for Freedom, taken in Vrania Stena Village (Zemen, Bulgaria – 10/18/2017), In this series, I’m re-enacting Vantzeti’s life who left Bulgaria during the communism (1988) and spent his life in New York (1990-present). Lately, he goes back to his rural, small village in Bulgaria and spends more time to repairs his mother’s property.Time
It was autumnal's late afternoon, and the cats were following Vantzeti everywhere. At one point, they stood as if they were already used to photographing them.Lighting
I do not use flash. I always adapt to the existing light and its sources.Equipment

My curiosity led me to a deeper understanding of his emotions during his escape and trial. He was telling me and experiencing again the memories, the places, and people involved and were important for him in his lonely way as a fugitive.Editing
