Sasha Goldberg: A French Photographer and Superheroine Creator

Sasha Goldberg is a French photographer who has been in the profession for quite a long time. However, it was not a commission from a famous client that brought him true fame. Sasha became renowned thanks to his desire to uplift the spirits of his beloved grandmother. Through his efforts, 91-year-old Frederika Goldberg transformed into a real superheroine and became a sensation on the internet.

The Unconventional Photoshoot

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of Frederika Goldberg's depression. Sasha Goldberg decided to cheer up his beloved grandmother in a rather unconventional way. He organized a full photoshoot for her, where she appeared as a true superheroine. Initially, Frederika hesitated to accept her grandson's proposal, but soon the idea captivated her. Sasha Goldberg's series of photographs, titled 'Mamika' (which means 'grandmother' in Hungarian), gained attention online. The photos quickly spread across popular news portals, receiving an overwhelmingly positive response. The 'Mamika' series even made its way to 'My Modern Met'.

Super Grandma and Mister Papika

The superhero costume in the style of Marvel looked surprisingly natural on Frederika Goldberg. She seemed to be born for heroic activities. Although the photographs have a humorous tone, with Sasha Goldberg capturing his grandmother flying over treadmills, rescuing people with the help of a walker, and maintaining order on city rooftops with a superhero vacuum cleaner, the intentions behind them were sincere. Super Grandma has a partner, Mister Papika, forming a superheroic duo that could surely frighten any villains they encounter despite their advanced age and various age-related ailments.

A Story Bursting with Joy and Enthusiasm

Some may view the photoshoot as unserious, playful, or even silly. However, Sasha Goldberg never intended to create something serious or eternal. His main goal was to support his beloved grandmother, and judging by Frederika Goldberg's expression, she thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being photographed in an unusual costume. Sasha successfully achieved his objective. At first, Frederika did not understand why so many strangers were sending her enthusiastic messages. Later, she realized that her grandson had used her help to create an incredibly joyful and energetic story through pictures. Combining Sasha Goldberg's talent and his grandmother's extraordinary modeling abilities resulted in an impressive effect. The photographs radiate joy, self-assurance, and enthusiasm. Frederika enjoyed communicating with her new friends, approaching her exploration of the online world with delightful enthusiasm, all the while remembering exactly who she owed her newfound fame to.

A Heroic Life

Frederika Goldberg's heroism extends beyond Sasha's photo studio. During World War II, she managed to save numerous lives. Frederika was born in Budapest, 20 years before the start of the war. When the conflict reached Hungary, Goldberg dedicated herself to rescuing Jews. She hid those of Jewish nationality who were targeted by the regime in secret hiding places, regularly moving them from one location to another. She fled Hungary for France not because of Nazism but due to the rise of communism that followed. Frederika does not disclose the details of her conflict with the new regime, but it is evident that she had to escape her homeland under the threat of death.
