Portraits of Older People

I love the details in this picture, the face shown in half, the use of the white background that makes the life lines on the face pop and the colours of the clothing warm it all up. This is a gorgeous shot and the eye shows great emotions.

The clever use of the wall in the background gives a lot of power to this picture that might show the words of time passed. The subject is small, in a corner, and gives a feeling that we are small things lost in time.

There is a feeling of "nonchalant" in this picture that ties it all together, a feeling of youth. The use of black and white strenghten the lines on her face. The eyes lost, looking away, push some little bit of melancholy to the photo so much that it is up to interpretation if this is an ode to ageing or a regret of lost youth.

The deep red colour of the clothing on top of this pink wall help put a beautiful base to this picture. With the empty right side of the picture and her faces looking to the left, this seem to give a bigger dimension to the whole picture. Well done!
