Ich möchte noch ein Bild hier zur Schau stellen, war es doch das Ergebnis (oder eins von vielen) der Teilnahme an dem bereits von Niko erwähnten Portrait-Workshop von Adolfo Rozenfeld. Ich will da gar nicht viel zu sagen, sondern nur den Text zitieren, den ich im Rahmen meiner Hausaufgabe (die gibt es da!) zum Bild geschrieben habe:
Part 1 of my homework "window light".
This is my 90yo father. He is suffering from dementia so there was no chance getting some support from him regarding re-arranging the rooms, changing dresses or something like that. So I had to disregard some of Adolfo's hints. He wears white as he usual does on Sundays. He has a stiff back and can't stand upright so his position will always be the same in pictures. I took this pic intentionally with him wearing glasses because without them he looks like a stranger to me.
The window light was on my right behind me, the kitchen where I took this pic is very small but it was the only room with enough available light. I tried to add an additional layer of light in the living room but there was only artificial light. Maybe I should have chosen a wider lens but I had only one lens with me, the Contax Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.4. My plan was to take the picture in the living room but a thunderstorm prohibited that.
Even if I failed to follow all we've learned this is the first pic that shows him to me like he is. The mood is rather oppressive but that is exactly what I feel when I visit him.
