This blind woman is very difrent than the other one. Besides the fact that this one is younger it also looks like that she never had any sight at all (the other one knew how to pose, this one has no idea)
Again a very good photo!

( I wonder how you get those people to agree to take photos, in my study I have to take a lot of portret photos of people I don't know, and everybody refuses to be taken on a photo ....)

really glad you like these images. . thanks so much for the watch and the comments! these are shot on medium format, wich is why there so sharp.

to get these pictures, i first had to go and speak to the head of the charity of blin people in my area. and then i went to a few of there meeting without my camera first, to get to know them, so the felt comfortable around me, then after a few weeks, i sugested the idea of me taking photos of them (they all knew thats why i was there as i was introduced to them by the charity leader) so i took them off so it was one to one with them, near a window where i had set up a reflector for lighting, jus takled to them for a bit, and shot a whole roll of film for each person, i wanted them to be honest portraits, not trying to flatter them, but not makign them loko worse than they already do. mm. .

wen ur asking people if u can take there picture make sure you are very confident! that way they will feel more comfortable and be happier for you to use them for your photography, with portraiture its almost as important to have good people skills as it is to be good with a camera.

blegh. rant. soorry ..

thanks again!

A really nice idea for a series. I like it a lot. Also this image is quite different from the other two. You captured it really well.
