Portrait of a Deceased Lady Photo

Photographer’s Note

Where do we fit in in this universe before and after life?

This long-deceased lady's portrait is hung on the wall in an old inn in Malacca, Malaysia. In this photo, it is illuminated by both the wall lamp and the sunlight coming in through the window.

hi Yinghui

I just came back from a night's stay in Spore and what a hot day it was; although I did not shoot too many scenery, I had some photos of portraits and a little of cityscape. And the hotel I stayed was established in 1955, old shophouses converted into a clean hotel near Waterloo Street. A good stay though too short and did not know where to go to find my subjects. Next time I go, probably allow a little more time and contact some TL members from there for good advice.

I like this portrait using available light and very well captured abstract view of the wall. Your inclusion of light is a good choice.
