For а few Dollars Moreor or Nine Portraits about love, mirth, sorrow, anger, energy, fear, disgust, astonishment and tranquility*. About choice.
For a Few Dollars More series represents nine photo portraits of artists in their studios. The photographs look like still frames from a nonexistent Western movie, where artists are the protagonists, story writers, stage designers and the photographer himself is a director. The studio is their fortress, a place where reality and fiction are mixed together. It’s a romantic story about love towards art and the ability to resist the temptations of everyday life. It`s about the fight to save your own space, to keep your dreams alive, to fulfill your illusions. Alexander Valchev
