portrait photo

For my Portrait Project, I am going to convey the idea of age. I am going to use older models (most likely my grandparents) to show old age. The photos of my grandparents will be in black and white. For my in studio photos, I am going to take pictures of people my age in color to show young age. The black and white shows the effect of a long life filled with many memories and experiences. I want their eyes to tell the story of their past. For my younger models, I am going to showcase the idea of embracing the present by telling a story through their eyes as well. For example, in this photo on the right, this woman's eyes tell the story of her past. Even though she has wrinkles and age blemishes, her inner beauty shines through her eyes.
