estonian men



it is a series of photos that were made after the 2nd world war. the negatives were found on the attic of my grandparents. at the time, photography was not so accessible as it is now. nevertheless, the photos are very similar to web2.0 and instant photography aesthetics. on these photos we see men posing in a very spontaneous and contemporary way that i find rare.
the series is called "estonian men".
