Book Name: 125 Portraits
Author: Harry Palmer
The images in this book were quite staged yet comfortable looking pictures of older men/ Women, many times posed with items that are within there home, I decided to make a unique twist on this idea, I took this picture looking as natural as i could, so the out come is a true natural me in this picture. In this book I really enjoyed all the protraits because it gave me a different perspective on what portarits could and can look like, with the simple beauty of black and white.
My favorite image in on P. 67 which is the honourable florence bird, it is the least staged image of this women who is explaining things about her life. She looks comfortable and the least posed out of the whole book. The thing that I didnt really enjoy about this book was the lack of person information about each person photogrpahed, it seemed to cold and harsh which isnt what the images are coming off of.
