As authentic as you get

One of my side projects has been to shoot portraits of re-enactors. Why they do it varies from studying a certain culture and wanting to experience it to just getting drunk and beating each other with swords. What ever it is, I find some of these people quick fascinating. So when I saw opportunities in Poland for various re-enactors, I jumped on it. One of my first shoots was of a young girl of 17 who actually is trained in shooting an arrow from horseback.
