Viktor Snopkov came into my work with his wife, Polina, where I sell cameras, a handful of times looking to get into photography. He saw some success from a local couple at his church, Essence Of Love Photography, whom he would often criticize and talk down upon, and felt he could do much better.
Viktor knew nothing about cameras or photography, so he relied heavily on my knowledge and recommendations. He was very impressed with some photo samples that I showed him from my portfolio, so much in fact that he asked me to personally train him. He seemed like a good guy, so I accepted an invite to go to his apartment for pizza while I trained him on some photography basics.
We then became friends, going out to shoot together a couple times while I continued to train him on everything I knew. He started to mention that if I ever wanted to start a business, that he would just like the chance to be a part of it.
