Photographer’s Note

Me llamó mucho la atención esta mujer por su rostro de tristeza, es muy interesante el contraste de su cara con el paño negro que la tapa. Estaba en una plaza del poblado de cotacachi cuando via a ésta mujer parada junto a las escalinatas de la iglesia.

Stunning photo, Diego. Your subject's tired eyes and grave demeanor cause the viewer to ponder her tribulation. You have wisely chosen to use a black and white effect which emphasizes the morose tone of the picture. Moreover, you have captured the mother with great clarity and skillful framing. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoy your emotive portraits. This is a nice one with the face framed by material, and a good pose.

Diego,
this is amazing! So much emotions in this portraits. Her face is filled with sadness. I like how her face is framed with her clothes.
The black/white tones are a very good medium to transmit those emotions.
Very strong!
