Today I am posting some photography of beautiful faces. I think that the human face has so much to offer and has of course inspired artists for centuries. Another aspect of a few of these photos is the unfocused background. For the couple photos in which the backgrounds are in focus, there was a reason. For instance in the photo directly below of the young vendor...I wanted to include the fruits and vegetables in the market. But I love the effect when the camera is only focused on the face making your attention hone in on only them and their features. A couple pictures were edited on photoshop and the rest are raw.

The universal beauty of the human face is an amazing thing. Old face, young faces, there is so much to see in a face.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much Art you can create by using the human face, from simple happy faces to realistic paintings. Even realistic 3-D faces...... there is an artist/scientist who creates 3-D faces using DNA she collects from chewing gum, hair, etc (kinda gross) but very amazing at the same time. Here is the link to what she has created http://www.nbcnews.com/science/artist-puts-human-face-discarded-bits-dna-6C10232535
ReplyDeleteMichelle, that is so cool!! (And gross). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete| actually got inspired to write my last blog post after reading this post on beautiful faces. As I was glancing at these pictures, particularly the one's of the children in Cambodia, I kept thinking to myself of how much these young children had possibly seen in their lives. I found myself making background stories for them just based on their expressions in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool post! There's so much you can tell about someone just by looking at their face, and even more that you can't, which is even more intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThe one that looks like a pencil sketch with real blue eyes is the most memorable for me! I bought an art book for kids - Faces, Places, and nner Spaces - have to get it back from my daughter to see how it could be used as a basis for art lessons related to each area.
