This photograph is taken off a photographer whose work i admire .I really like how the photographer has darkened the backdrop as it only adds emphasis and definition to the aging skin of this women which looks well lived in .I feel like the more lines and creases one person has, makes you think what kind of a life that person has led.Also when you look at the deep set eyes they make you feel almost like your looking into never ending black pool.

I find Irving takes on portraiture refreshing, i really admire how the photographer has placed the subjects in this confined spaces making them look slightly awkward and uncomfortable.

Tumblr Research

Another find on tumblr showing then and now portraits using the same characteristics with same or similar locations.I like the idea creating portraits over a period of time to show the development and change and growth of a person instead off having just one still image.I think doing this you would could create a kind documentation through images of one persons cycle through life.

I've found a new method of doing research using tumblr this is where i found these intriguing portraits/paintings. I'm not sure what the inspiration or meanings are behind these images, but for myself when viewing them i feel they illustrate a women being stripped of there vanity.It kind off inspires me to create portraits of models stripped and bared of there vanity necessities to show face behind the mask which can often reveal natural beauty.
