#Phototheatre / Staged photo "Presence"

Hello everyone!
In the first post with my staged photography, I promised to tell you a little about my distinctive and very personal technique of photography.
I decided to call it a photographic painting, because, like on a canvas, the main character and all the details around it are thought out in advance, and have their own symbolism.
And just like in painting on canvas, surprising surprises often happen. The idea for the production appears as if from the distinct person whom I plan to photograph.
I just think about the person, and then it often happens that in one second an already finished idea comes to my mind with all its details.

This particular photo has not yet been taken in positive manner, and I have quite a few of them, so get ready :)
This photo shows a person reading a holy book, but he is not standing in the reflection himself alone.
Why we came up with this, I do not remember, but the fact is that after 3 years this guy was recognized as mentally ill, and he said that he constantly felt the presence of some creatures next to him.
