Self portraits of a 70 year old lady
So now ... so what ...
I turned 70: I retired.
So now… so what…
I needed to redefine the relationship with the world and with my aging body. I needed to accept that body.
So I picked up the camera…
Is there a possibility to make a good eshetic photo with my body, at the age of 70?
My body as a model is easily available. Model and photographer are a perfect working couple. And it's of equal importance what is happening in front of the camera as well as what is happening behind the camera.
Making a good self-portrait takes time. It should not show the double chin, the wrinkles, etc. I'm searching for the right angle, the right light, to crop or not to crop. The result is an almost graphic image.
