In Martin Parr’s photograph, I see the lower half of a female’s face. She
is happily ready to go with her red lipstick and a smile on. The photo also
shows that this female is Caucasian and in a dark area with the light only on
her face. The smile shows that she has a bit of lipstick on her teeth, which look
like dentures. As well as lipstick, her smile also shows that she has a small
overbite. This older woman has her head turned to the right and is close to the
photographer.
The woman in the photograph is
happy to be with whoever she is with. The photo was probably taken to make
others see the beauty and life in a smile, as well as smile themselves. The
woman in the photograph probably knows Parr due to the big smile and head
slightly turned. She is older which means she is probably his wife, sister, or
close friend. The female has lipstick on her teeth, so she either did not look
in the mirror or that is the point in the photograph. She has lipstick on which
says that she is ready to go out in public. The woman and Parr are in a dark
place with light shining only on her.
This woman is probably older due
to the fact that she is wearing lipstick, in many younger generations people
have stopped wearing lipstick, other than celebrities. This photograph also shows
that this woman is ready to go out in public, because she has her lipstick on
and many older women do not go out of the house without having on their
lipstick. However, she may have not looked in the mirror for a little while,
because of the lipstick on her teeth. The photographer is probably someone she
knows, due to the fact that the photo is taken up close, as well as in a dark
area with light only on her, because the background is black, while she is all
lit up. You can see her face is turned to the right, since you can only see the
right side of her neck. Finally, her smile shows that she is happy to be with
Parr wherever they may be.
