Photography of the month: Berlin 2009 by Moria Lahis

During my wandering in the infinite fields of the Internet I have met several photographers and their photographs that really impressed me. They were completely unknown to me and maybe to many of us. As I continue my journey I will share my experiences. Every month  I am going to present here one photograph which I really appreciated.

Photography of the month:
Berlin 2009 by Moria Lahis















We see a family photo, black and white. It has a  simple diagonal composition. It looks like a daguerreotype. The picture has a timeless spirit. Our sight is attracted to the eyes of the child. This sharp part is the centre of the picture though it is in the corner.

This picture reminds me the photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron. It has the same serenity and clear composition I like very much.

I like the multiple facets of this photograph. This is a charming picture. It is a family photo but also it is a piece of art. It is like a snapshot but perhaps it was staged. It looks old but it is actually modern. It conveys innocence and at the same time exhibits a small girl with a young man in the same bed.

I think that the special merit of this photo is blending two seemingly contradicting qualities: abstraction and intimity. The artist succeeded to express her ideas presenting a simple, beautiful and sincere image.
