This is a selection of the portraits I made in a local nursing home. I was asked to make sincere, documentary style black and white portraits of their residents. The printed portraits are now located in the corridor of the nursing home. Pretty cool; my first exhibition-ish location.
I’ve heard that the wife of one particular gentleman was actually moved to tears when she saw the photograph of her husband.
Another man passed away only days after the photos were printed, framed and mounted on the wall (I’ve added some photos below). The portrait I made of him was used at his funeral. Although it’s kind of wry, I think it’s an honour that his relatives chose the photograph I made to use on such an emotionally charged day.
