Drie portretten van een paar geliefden 1900 - 1930

Here are three portraits of a couple in love, made with photography by Rotary Photo. The image has a sepia tone that gives it a somewhat painterly quality. It's not just a record of a moment, it's about how that moment feels. The physicality of the medium here is all about light and shadow. The texture of the paper, the way the light catches the edges of their faces, it's like the image itself is breathing. Look at the way the highlights on the woman's dress seem to shimmer, it's almost as if the photographer is trying to capture not just what they look like, but how they feel to each other. It reminds me a little of some of the early portrait photography by Julia Margaret Cameron. Both artists are trying to capture something more than just a likeness. It's like they are reaching for the soul of the subject, isn't it?
