Make-Up Before & After

After

Artist Of The Week - Clarence Hudson White

This photo is a magnificent use of scenery/architecture of a house and focal points to contrast the position of a lady lying on her bed to the shadows of a staircase and tall doorway and other features of the vault ceiling style housing. Futhermore, the light inside the room and distant curtains and shadow of the staircase gives a depth to the image, almost like perspective. The slight inclusion of the rounded end of the staircase adds a nice touch to the photo.

This photo is a great capture of a woman's personality, it seems like her natural state and not a pose. The picture nicely compares the black color in her dress and hair to the white hat and white pieces of the dress. Her deep and serious expression with the position of her hand on her face is really thoughtful and possibly indicative of this women's life. Great photo and features overall! The presence of her ear and dress's wrinkles also adds to the photo's enjoyment.
