This is Markku Koli, a former lieutenant general of the army of Finland. For some reason he resigned and took a job in the military of United Arab Emirates.
The paper I took this had asked me to take a photo with an empty field or something special to Finland he would not see for a very long time. That’s why I had planned an early morning photo shoot with a misty field, but because the rain was extremely heavy we had to take cover in a forest near by to get out anything but broken electronics.
