interesting interesting, chatting wif rachel makes me laugh, n ponder.
everyone has their own personal struggle or struggles, its a fact, need no statistics to back it up. wats interesting is tat through the personal struggle, glimpses of the 'real' person can be seen. lets not get into the wats real or wats unreal kinda debate but understand tat once you know abt the 'struggle', u are in fact gazing into the very being of that person, and in that way, you are seeing the person as she/he realli is, no facade no camouflage.
the idea of the 'perfect' portrait is that of which defines the identity of the sitter. and the tricky part is the identity, who creates the identity? the sitter or by the people arnd her/him? and if the identity is defined by the people around, isnt it then alreadi their interpretation and their take instead of a true representation? something to think about.
the next time im doing a portraiture, i'll keep that in mind..
so come on, tell me.
