Portrait of a friend

Selim is a friend. We grew up in different countries and in a different age group but had an upbringing with parents who coined the same priorities on the scale of values in us and that, together with the same views we share, has created a strong and solid basis of our friendship for the years to come. See you soon, Selim!

Nice tribute for a friend. I think we do not tell our friends how much they mean to us like we should.

The portraits that you have posted, each of the other, appear to me as yin and yang.

Deiderick usually posts realistic images that he does not post-process. Selim usually posts processed images that are open to interpretation.

However, in the portraits Selim has Deiderick on a realistic stormy background whereas Deiderick has Selim on a processed stormy background.

Wonderfully complementary work ...

You have a lovely way of describing how people originating from different cultures can meet on fundamental values and ways of being that create strong bonds. It makes me want to meet the two of you.
