TITLE: Menace

Main model is my son Maks in a role of menace boy. In one way this series is very personal for me,
because I tried to capture a real nature of my son, who is a very vivid and playfull boy. On the other
hand these photographs are very universal because they touch the essence of childchood. What does
it mean to be a menace? Who decides that some child is considered to be a menace? Maybe it is only
us adults seeing it that way? Maybe it is only us adults that try to make children fit in to some certain
roles that society created for them? We grownups and parents especially want our kids to be just like
us, have the same hobby, jobs and careers just like us, but kids are just kids. They want to play, laugh
and have fun. Besides children learn by making mistakes, so just let them be a menace from time to
time…
