Now we come to the final part of the extra PNPPL magazine interviews, the cherry on the top is Vlad and Richard Kranzin’s interview. Watch, enjoy and don’t miss the print version of Pineapple!
How did you find each other for the photo shoot? – Was there any preparation before shooting?
Vlad: I guess it was in Instagram. Richard messaged me and I thought “why not to try?” Taking into consideration that I had a pretty narcissistic moment in my life because of low self-esteem, I’m not wondering that agreed. I don’t think I’d do so now.
Richard: I contacted Vlad on instagram because he seemed confident with his body and very open. I had this idea about the story for the magazine and told him about it. My main preparation was to try out my old VHS camera and make it work. I love to always add a certain nostalgia to my shoots.
What was the first impression of each other?
Vlad: I still remember that when I was coming there for some reason I imagined that it’s gonna be a pretty mechanical shooting, but when Richard opened the door we immediately caught the same vibe and talked for some time before we started the shooting. I really felt comfortable.
Richard: The first thing I noticed is that Vlad is as open and confident as he seemed in his instagram account. It was very easy to talk to him.
If there was – what was the most difficult thing during the shooting?
Vlad: There weren’t any difficulties, so everything went pretty smoothly.
Richard: No difficulties at all.
Richard, what do you do when you are not photographing?
Richard: My second big passion is filmmaking. So I spend a lot of time working on film and TV productions, as well as watching a lot and talking about it.
Vlad, what do you do when you are not modelling?
Actually I’m a web developer. Recently I’ve started modeling furniture and going to carpentry courses and it’s turned out I’m enjoying it.
What makes you happy?
Vlad: I think it’s a feeling of fulfillment by creating something on my own like programming or carpentry. Also knowing myself and understanding what I really want to achieve in my life help to move my own path and that makes me sincerely happy.
Richard: Creating something with other people makes me very happy. I love the feeling of community and common goals. That could be the interaction with a model during the shoot, working in a film team or just playing games with friends.
What turns you on?
Vlad: I must admit that it’s mostly feeling of safety and intimacy with a person. Good talks, long walks, and doing things together are in my opinion the best ways to create to feel a flow and then only go to bed with a person you really trust — that turns me on.
Richard: From a physical aspect, I really get turned on by beautiful eyes and I like cuddling and kissing. I’m in general a more romantic person, so little touches and nice gestures can be turn on enough for me, if they come from the right person.
