Youth

Model - Henry T

Aren't we all obsessed with youth?

Inspired by Ms Bush circa 1986.

Who wishes they were Kate?

What is it about an out of focus photograph that makes us more inquisitive? Is it because we are denied certain elements of the classic portrait and this leaves us wanting more. There is always something sinister in things we don't understand. This photograph that I intentionally took out of focus is meant to make us question the character. The completely black background contrasts against the pale skin. The lips look extra red, the whites of the eyes stand out. Vampire-like perhaps?
