These Photographers Captured Beautiful Women Around The World (25 Winning AAP Magazine Pictures)

#9 2nd Place Winner: Arrangement In Green And Black #10 From The Series ‘Arrangement In Green And Black,’ Portrait Of The Photographer’s Mother By Aline Smithson
This series had serendipitous beginnings. I found a print of Whistler’s painting, and it started me thinking about the genre of portraiture, the strong compositional relationships going on within Whistler’s painting, and the evocative nature of unassuming details. The series is printed in silver gelatin yet becomes richer with the treatment of hand painting. My patient 85-year-old mother posed in over 20 ensembles, but unfortunately passed away before seeing the finished series.
