My grand mother used to be a professional typist for the Soviet party in her youth & she still has some remains of her professional past lying around, such as ancient but working typewriters. For me, this aspect of her persona is closely associated with her identity & I wanted to shoot a portrait that had a humorous take on that. I wanted to make the portrait series modern and dynamic, but still having that timeless old school feel about it with the film grain & her overall appearance.
