Portrait 1952/1955

I loved this portrait of these two women. What caught my eye was tall of the shapes and patterns that the photographer captures in the picture, despite the black and white edit. I love the opposition of the women that their wardrobe provides. The one on the right appears to be much brighter because of the stars on her dress. The woman sitting on the left has a darker complexion. Her skin may be darker than the other women, but her clothing and patterns on her clothing make her look darker. I also noticed how the lines from the curtain behind the women drew my eyes from top to bottom. The bench in the photo lead my eyes from left to right.
