opposite emotions by me

my intention was to contrast the expression of a man who feels lonely with the appearance of a man that loves and feels loved.

i feel a little like all of my pictures look too "sad X happy" but maybe it was my lack of directing skills.

anyway, thanks to my wonderful model - walter - for having such an expressive face!

the self portrait

the very first one

on the free dictionary the first entry for the word portrait is "(...) likeness of a person, especially one showing the face, that is created by a painter or photographer, for example". while i was trying to find a definition of what a portrait would be, i've got me thinking about photography itself. as an art expression (and whatever other kind of expression, actually) i see it as the way the photographer sees the world, the way the photographer choose to show the world through his/hers lens. when it comes to portraits, though, i tend to feel it shows off more the shooted person's subjectivity than the protograther's one. i wonder why.
